ClamAV Virus Scanner

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Scan user-uploaded files for malware before processing or storing them.

• 2

  Integrate ClamAV scanning into Cursor workflows using an SSE MCP to ensure incoming files are safe.

• 3

  Automate on-demand antivirus scans of base64-encoded files and receive detailed clamscan output for further decision-making.

Description

This MCP wraps the ClamAV clamscan tool and provides a single API endpoint (scan_file) that accepts base64-encoded file data and a filename, runs a ClamAV scan, and returns the raw clamscan output. It is designed to integrate with Cursor via SSE (default port 8000) so agents can perform on-demand or pre-processing antivirus checks. The server requires ClamAV to be installed on the host and is useful for adding a simple file-scanning security layer to agent workflows.
