Ludus FastMCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for automating Ludus cyber range environments through AI assistants written in Python.
Overview
Ludus FastMCP enables AI-powered management of Ludus cyber ranges through natural language commands. The server exposes 157 tools across 15 modules for range lifecycle management, scenario deployment, template creation, Ansible role management, and security monitoring integration.

| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Range Management | Create, configure, deploy, and manage virtual lab environments |
| Scenario Deployment | Pre-built scenarios for AD, red/blue/purple team, and malware analysis |
| Template Builder | Custom OS templates, skeleton configurations, and YAML generation |
| Role Management | Ansible Galaxy integration and custom role installation |
| SIEM Integration | Wazuh, Splunk, Elastic Stack, and Security Onion support |
| AI Configuration | Natural language to YAML configuration conversion |
Supported Platforms
Works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, VS Code (Cline), OpenWebUI, and AnythingLLM.
