Enable MCP on your next CTF event

Today, we’re excited to announce support for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server in our CTF platform. This upgrade marks a new frontier in hands-on security learning: cybersecurity professionals (and aspiring ones) are augmented by AI tools and automation, and human expertise is amplified by intelligent systems.
In simpler terms, we’re bringing the latest AI capabilities directly into your playground, making advanced skills development more accessible and powerful than ever.
Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. You’re chatting with Claude to improve a sentence or get a recipe. Now imagine doing that and asking about the next Pillar event on the HTB CTF platform, or even solving challenges and writing a write-up, all in the same chat. That’s what MCP enables: seamless communication between AI tools and our CTF platform.
  • MCP Token Generation:
    Participants can now generate their own MCP token directly from their profile settings. This allows integration with tools like Claude or VS Code to interact with the CTF platform using AI. Tokens are one-time viewable and can be revoked at any time.
  • MCP Toggle:
    Admins can now control whether MCP is enabled per event. The toggle is located in the Event Settings and is disabled by default, giving full control over AI participation.
Beyond allowing players to use their preferred tools with our platform, MCP opens the door to even bigger opportunities. Customers are now able to connect their own AI models to train and compete with our content securely, all through MCP.
