Configuring MCP server with AI assistants

Overview​

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables AI assistants to connect to Spectra Intelligence APIs for malware reporting, IOC triage, and reputation lookups. The following steps describe how to configure the MCP server integration with Claude Code or other MCP-compatible AI assistants.

Access

Official marketplace integrations for ChatGPT and Claude.ai are currently in the submission phase and will be available in the near future. For immediate access, refer to the Manual configuration section below.

Prerequisites​

  • A Spectra Intelligence account with the TCA-0050 API permission. Contact ReversingLabs support to request access.
  • An MCP client configured to connect to the Spectra Intelligence MCP server.

ChatGPT app​

Spectra Intelligence MCP is released as an official ChatGPT app available in the ChatGPT app store.

note

If you are part of a team or organization on openai.com, you may need to request access to the app from your administrator.

Claude.ai connector​

Spectra Intelligence MCP is listed in the Claude MCP server directory. Find it by searching for Spectra Intelligence in the MCP server list.

Example: Claude Code (CLI)​

While logged into your Anthropic account, prompt Claude to "List available MCP servers". That should show the Spectra Intelligence connector as one of the available options.

List of available servers

Once you have confirmed that the server is available, you can use the /mcp command to select it in the list, which initializes the authorization flow.

Manual configuration and other MCP clients​

If your MCP client does not have an official connector, you can configure the MCP server manually.

Configuration parameters​

  1. MCP server URL (no trailing slash): https://mcp.reversinglabs.com/mcp
  2. OpenID client ID: ai-assistant
  3. OpenID client secret: not required, leave empty
  4. OAuth scope (if explicitly requested): mcp-server-access

Example: Windsurf configuration​

Windsurf uses a JSON file to configure MCP servers. To locate the configuration file, follow the official Windsurf instructions.

Paste the following section into the configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spectra-intelligence": {
      "disabled": false,
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://mcp.reversinglabs.com/mcp",
        "--static-oauth-client-info",
        "{ \"client_id\": \"ai-assistant\" }"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Example: MCP Inspector​

If you encounter any issues with the MCP server, use the MCP Inspector to debug the connection.

npx \
  @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \
    npx mcp-remote@latest \
      https://mcp.reversinglabs.com/mcp \
      --static-oauth-client-info \
      '{\"client_id\":\"ai-assistant\"}'
