Step 2: Create .env

MALWAREBAZAAR_API_KEY=<APIKEY>

Step 3a: Create Virtual Env & Install Requirements - MAC/Linux

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
cd MalwareBazaar_MCP
uv init .
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3b: Create Virtual Env & Install Requirements - Windows

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

            ]
        }
    }
}

Step 4b: Add Config to the MCP Client - Windows

            ]
        }
    }
}

Step 5: Run MCP Server

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
