CyberChef API MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to CyberChef, a popular free tool for decoding and transforming data. Instead of clicking around the CyberChef website yourself, you can just ask your AI in plain words. It is handy for anyone who deals with scrambled text, encoded files, or messy data and wants quick answers.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in your AI chat, for example asking it to decode a chunk of text. Your AI passes that request to this helper. The helper talks to a CyberChef server, which runs the operations you asked for, like decoding base64 or converting formats. The result comes back and your AI shows it to you in the chat. You never have to open CyberChef yourself.

What you can do with it

• Decode encoded text like base64 or hex
• Run a series of CyberChef steps in order on your data

• Let CyberChef guess how your data is encoded and decode it automatically
• Browse CyberChef's list of operations by category
• Pick the right operation for a task with your AI's help

Try asking your AI

• “Decode this base64 string and tell me what it says”
• “Run a recipe on this text: from hex, then to base64”
• “Figure out what encoding this data uses and decode it”
• “Do the same decoding on all of these lines at once”

What it gives back to you

You get the transformed data back in your chat, usually as plain text or a short explanation. For batch jobs, you get a result for each item you sent. For the magic operation, you get CyberChef's best guess at how the data was encoded and the decoded output. Everything shows up right where you are chatting.
