What the publisher says
From the OpenOSINT repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
mcp-name: io.github.OpenOSINT/openosint
OpenOSINT An OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) agent for security researchers and analysts: 20 investigation tools behind a natural-language interface, plus an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so any MCP-compatible AI client can drive them directly. Use it as a REPL, CLI, MCP server, or browser Web UI. The AI issues hard-stop tool calls; your code executes the real binary — hallucinated findings are structurally impossible.
