Kernel CVE MCP Server

April 25, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

This clones the linux kernel CVE List git repo, into an sqlite database and then allows querying this DB with a really basic MCP server.

See: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/_/text/mirror/ for details.

Commands

  • kernel-list-to-sqlite - Download the Kernel CVE list into a temporary dir and save the contents into an sqlite database.
  • stio-mcp - stdio MCP server which provides the get_kernel_cve_info and search_kernel_cve_info tools.

Config

You need to specify the location of the DB file, so use something like this:

 {
  "mcpServers": {
    "kernel-cve-info": {
      "command": "/Users/mpf/Projects/kcve/stdio-mcp",
      "args": ["-db", "/Users/mpf/Projects/kcve/commits.db"]
    }
  }
}
