Kali Linux has introduced a groundbreaking integration with Anthropic's Claude AI, allowing penetration testers to execute complex security tools using natural-language prompts instead of manual terminal commands. Through the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP), users can issue requests like "Port scan scanme.nmap.org and check for a security.txt file," with Claude interpreting them, running tools such as Nmap or Gobuster on a Kali environment, and delivering results autonomously. This setup bridges Claude Desktop on macOS or Windows with a Kali instance via a secure API, enhancing accessibility and efficiency in offensive security workflows while raising considerations for data privacy and new risks like prompt injection. The feature, detailed by the Offensive Security team in early 2026, marks a shift toward conversational, AI-augmented penetration testing.
