Volatility3 MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Analyze Windows or Linux memory dumps and extract forensic artifacts (process lists, handles, network connections) through natural language commands.

• 2

  Detect and investigate malware in memory by running Volatility3 plugins and scanning with custom YARA rules.

• 3

  Integrate memory forensics into automated investigative workflows or interactive sessions via Claude Desktop or an SSE-based Cursor integration.

Description

This MCP server bridges Volatility3 with MCP-capable clients, enabling LLMs to run Volatility3 plugins, scan with YARA, and inspect processes, network connections, and open handles in memory dumps. It supports both Windows and Linux memory images and provides tools to initialize files, detect OS, list and run plugins, and gather forensic data. By automating common forensic workflows and exposing Volatility3 functionality to conversational agents, it makes memory forensics more accessible to non-experts and speeds up analysis.
