AI is quickly becoming part of the red team toolkit — and MCP (Model Context Protocol) is opening the door to a new generation of offensive security tools.
In this meetup, we’ll explore MCP-enabled red team tooling and how security practitioners are using AI agents to assist with reconnaissance, exploitation, and workflow automation. The focus is practical, hands-on, and offense-minded.
We’ll demo and discuss tools such as:
- Kali MCP – bringing MCP support into Kali linux
- HexStrike-AI – AI-assisted red teaming and attack simulation
- Other emerging MCP-based tools and frameworks used for adversary emulation
### What we’ll cover
- What MCP is and why it matters for red team operations
- How AI agents integrate with traditional pentesting tools
- Live demos of MCP-powered red team tooling
- Strengths, limitations, and real-world risks of AI-assisted offense
- What defenders should understand about these tools
### Who should attend
- Red teamers & penetration testers
- Blue teamers curious about the offensive side
- Security engineers, researchers, and hackers
- Anyone interested in AI + cybersecurity beyond the hype
⚠️ Note: This meetup is for educational purposes only. All demos are conducted in controlled lab environments.
