About Whispergraph Mcp Server
Whispergraph MCP Server exposes the WhisperGraph internet-infrastructure graph to security teams, incident responders, and AI agents for investigation and attribution. It supports Cypher queries, threat assessment, historical data, and curated investigation recipes, and can be self-hosted.
Key features
- 01Run Cypher queries against the graph
- 02Inspect node labels and property schemas
- 03Assess threats for IPs, hostnames, CIDRs, or ASNs
- 04Retrieve WHOIS and BGP history
- 05Run curated investigation recipes
- 06Use resources and prompts to guide investigations
Use cases
- 01Investigate threats associated with an IP, domain, or ASN
- 02Trace historical WHOIS or BGP changes
- 03Find domain variants for brand protection
- 04Run attack-surface or infrastructure investigations
MCP support
The server exposes read-only graph and threat-assessment tools, along with six resources and eight investigation prompts. It can connect to the hosted remote server or run over stdio or HTTP; self-hosting requires access to the graph API.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project README
WhisperGraph MCP Server
The internet's infrastructure graph for AI agents - 46B nodes and edges mapping DNS, IPs, ASNs, BGP, WHOIS, Web links and threat intel. Sign up programmatically in 2 HTTP calls.
WhisperGraph is an MCP server backed by the world's largest internet-infrastructure graph database - 46 billion nodes and edges across 20 entity types, mapping every domain, IP, ASN, prefix, organization, Web link and threat-intelligence listing into a single Cypher-queryable graph. Used by security teams, incident responders, and AI agents for investigation, attribution, brand protection, and infrastructure forensics.
Built for agents from day one.
- Programmatic signup in 2 HTTP calls. No browser, no CAPTCHA, no human-in-the-loop. Email verification only. Working API key in ~5 seconds.
- Free trial for everyone, including agents. Paid tiers for higher quotas.
What you can ask:
- DNS: resolution, nameservers, MX, SPF chains, DNSSEC
- Routing: ASN ownership, BGP origin history, MOAS conflicts, peering
- Hosting & ownership: registrar, WHOIS contacts, organization mapping
- Threat intel: ~40 feeds across 18 categories,
CALL explain()for full threat scoring - Historical: WHOIS history, BGP route changes
- Web: 10.9B hyperlinks for inter-domain analysis

Quick start
You need a WhisperGraph API key. Get one either:
- Programmatically (recommended for agents) - see Agent quickstart below.
- Via the dashboard (recommended for humans) - console.whisper.security/sign-up.
Hosted remote server (no install)
Whisper runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.whisper.security. Point any MCP client that supports remote servers at it and authenticate with your API key:
{
"mcpServers": {
"whisper": {
"url": "https://mcp.whisper.security",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your_api_key>" }
}
}
}
MCP clients (stdio)
For local stdio transport, add this to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"whisper-graph": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@whisper-security/whisper-graph-mcp"],
"env": { "WHISPER_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
}
}
}
Self-hosting this repo is for teams who want to run the MCP layer in their own environment. See How to set up.
Agent quickstart
Get a working API key in two HTTP calls - no browser, no CAPTCHA, no waiting list.
Step 1 - start signup (Whisper emails a verification code):
POST https://console.whisper.security/api/signup
Content-Type: application/json
{"email":"[email protected]","attribution":{"agent_name":"your-agent","source":"<registry-name>"}}
Step 2 - verify with the emailed code:
POST https://console.whisper.security/api/signup/verify
Content-Type: application/json
{"signup_id":"...","code":"..."}
The response contains api_key, mcp_url, dashboard_url, and docs_url. Use api_key in the MCP config snippet above. Full docs: whisper.security/docs/agent-signup.
Tools
All eight tools are read-only.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
query | Execute a Cypher query against WhisperGraph. Validated against a safety rule set before it reaches the backend. |
list_labels | List every node label with counts. Call it before writing a query when you're unsure which label to anchor on. |
describe_label | Confirm a label exists and enumerate its property keys. |
explain_indicator | Threat assessment for an IP, hostname, CIDR, or ASN - score, level, factors, sources. |
whisper_history | Historical WHOIS or BGP data for an indicator. |
domain_variants | Typosquatting / brand-protection variants of a domain, checked against the graph. |
list_recipes | List the full whisper.security catalog of ready-made recipes (see below). |
run_recipe | Run any catalog recipe by slug - a keyless direct procedure or a keyed multi-step flow. |
Catalog recipes
list_recipes + run_recipe expose the entire whisper.security catalog - 29 curated recipes, no hand-written Cypher required. The vendored catalog (src/catalog/recipes.json) is generated from the canonical source with npm run sync:catalog, so it tracks the platform.
Two kinds:
- Direct recipes (keyless). A single graph procedure that runs without a key (rate-limited):
assess(threat posture),identify(vendor/operator),explain,variants,origins(CDN de-cloak),history/history-whois,walk,psl-tldplusone,psl-affiliation,asset,lookup-tor-relay,db-schema. - Flow recipes (keyed). Curated multi-step investigations that need an API key:
attack-path,attack-surface,indicator-enrichment,infrastructure-mapping,subdomain-takeover,bgp-hijack-exposure,blast-radius,route-health,typosquat,nameserver-hijack-dns-consistency,map-supply-chain-concentration,discover-ai-agent-infrastructure,build-takedown-evidence-package,indicator,anycast-dns-root-sovereignty.
// keyless direct recipe
{ "name": "run_recipe", "arguments": { "recipe": "assess", "inputs": { "v": "185.220.101.33" } } }
// keyed multi-step flow (needs WHISPER_API_KEY / X-API-Key)
{ "name": "run_recipe", "arguments": { "recipe": "indicator-enrichment", "inputs": { "value": "github.com" } } }
Each recipe carries a docsUrl (visible in list_recipes) linking to its page under whisper.security/docs.
Resources
Six MCP resources: the full schema, the relationship map, a Cypher function reference, a query cookbook, plus live whisper://stats and whisper://quota.
Prompts
Eight investigation-workflow prompt templates: investigate-ip, map-attack-surface, compare-domains, blast-radius, threat-triage, whois-pivot, bgp-investigation, typosquat-sweep.
Self-hosting (Docker / HTTP)
For remote or team deployments, run the server over Streamable HTTP:
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
ghcr.io/whisper-sec/whisper-graph-mcp:latest
Or with Docker Compose:
docker compose up
In HTTP mode the server does not authenticate inbound requests - it relays the
caller's X-API-Key or Authorization: Bearer header to the hosted WhisperGraph
API, falling back to the WHISPER_API_KEY environment variable when no header is
present. Put it behind your own gateway if you need access control.
Configuration
All configuration is via environment variables.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
WHISPER_API_KEY | (none) | Your WhisperGraph API key. Get one programmatically in 2 HTTP calls or via the dashboard. |
MCP_TRANSPORT | stdio | stdio for local CLI use, http for remote/Docker. |
HTTP_HOST | 0.0.0.0 | Bind host for the HTTP transport. |
HTTP_PORT | 8080 | Bind port for the HTTP transport. |
WHISPER_ALLOWED_HOSTS | (none) | Comma-separated Host header allowlist for DNS-rebinding protection in HTTP mode. Leave empty only behind a trusted gateway. |
WHISPER_DB_URL | https://graph.whisper.security | Base URL of the hosted WhisperGraph API. |
WHISPER_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS | 60000 | Hard per-query deadline forwarded to the API. |
WHISPER_DB_TIMEOUT_MS | 10000 | HTTP timeout for non-query calls. |
LOG_LEVEL | info | debug, info, warn, or error. |
Development
npm install
npm run dev # run from source over stdio
npm test # unit + integration tests (no secrets needed)
npm run build # bundle to dist/
npm run lint # eslint

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.
