  1. 01Query the ntopng database
  2. 02Run SELECT statements
  3. 03stdio and SSE transports

Use cases

  1. 01Querying host alert records
  2. 02Inspecting ntopng data through an MCP client

MCP support

The server exposes the `query_ntopng_database` tool to MCP clients and supports stdio and SSE transports.

Setup

  1. Prerequisites:

  2. Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/marcoeg/mcp-nvd
cd mcp-nvd
  1. Set Environment Variables:
    • Create a .env file in the project root with the mandatory environmental variables:
    NTOPNG_HOST=localhost NTOPNG_PORT=9000 NTOPNG_USER=default NTOPNG_PASSWORD=
  2. Install Dependencies:
uv sync
uv pip install -e .
Run with the MCP Inspector
cd /path/to/the/repo
source .env

CLIENT_PORT=8077 SERVER_PORT=8078 npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv \
    --directory /path/to/repo/mcp-ntopng run mcp-ntopng

Then open the browser to the URL indicated by the MCP Inspector, typically http://localhost:8077?proxyPort=8078

After connecting, list the Tools. Select query_ntopng_database and enter in the query a SELECT statement like SELECT * FROM host_alerts_view LIMIT 2.

Switch freely between stdio and sse transport types in the inspector. To use sse you need to run the server as explained below.

Run the Server:
cd /path/to/the/repo
source .env

uv run mcp-ntopng --transport sse --port 9090
  • Runs with SSE transport on port 9090 by default.

In the terminal running the server there is a full log of the activities. Very useful for debugging.

New to MCP?

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.
