A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to [URLhaus](https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/), a project from abuse.ch that collects and shares malicious URLs used for malware distribution. This server enables AI agents to perform threat intelligence research and cybersecurity analysis through the URLhaus database.

## Features

This MCP server provides the following tools for querying URLhaus data:

### URL Analysis Tools
- **get_recent_urls**: Get the most recent malicious URLs from URLhaus
- **lookup_url**: Get detailed information about a specific URL
- **search_urls**: Search for URLs by various criteria (host, URL, tag, or signature)

### Host/Domain Analysis Tools
- **lookup_host**: Get information about URLs hosted on a specific host/domain

### Malware Analysis Tools
- **lookup_payload**: Get information about a malware payload by its hash
- **get_payloads**: Get recent malware payloads from URLhaus
- **get_urls_by_tag**: Get URLs associated with a specific malware tag/family
- **get_urls_by_signature**: Get URLs associated with a specific malware signature
