WhisperGraph MCP Server
officialOpen-source, self-hostable MCP server for WhisperGraph — a graph of 7.39B nodes / 39B edges mapping DNS, BGP, GeoIP, WHOIS, and threat intelligence. Six read-only tools (Cypher query + schema introspection + threat assessment), six resources, eight investigation prompts. stdio and Streamable HTTP transports.

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>" }
}
}
}
Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor (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" }
}
}
}
Or with Claude Code:
claude mcp add whisper-graph -e WHISPER_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y @whisper-security/whisper-graph-mcp
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 six 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. |
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. |
