README

Osquery MCP Server, Client & Skill

A complete implementation for integrating Osquery with AI assistants, providing three approaches: an MCP server for Claude Desktop, a Spring AI client, and a Claude Code skill for direct CLI usage.

Overview

This project enables AI assistants to answer system diagnostic questions like "Why is my fan running so hot?" or "What's using all my memory?" by translating natural language into Osquery SQL queries.

Three ways to use osquery with AI:

Approach	Best For	How It Works
MCP Server	Claude Desktop	Spring Boot server communicates via MCP protocol
Spring AI Client	Programmatic access	CLI client using Spring AI's MCP auto-configuration
Claude Code Skill	Claude Code CLI	Direct `osqueryi` execution via Bash, no server needed

Features

MCP Server

Natural Language System Diagnostics: Ask questions like "What's using my CPU?" and get intelligent answers
9 Specialized Tools for common diagnostic scenarios:
- Execute custom Osquery SQL queries
- Get table schemas and available columns
- Find high CPU/memory usage processes
- Analyze network connections
- Check system temperature and fan speeds (macOS)
- Get comprehensive system health summary
- Access example queries for common problems
Smart Query Assistance: Built-in examples and schema discovery help the AI construct better queries
STDIO-based MCP Integration: Works seamlessly with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible AI tools
Spring Boot 3.5 with Java 21: Modern, efficient, and maintainable codebase using Java 17+ features

Spring AI MCP Client

Spring AI Auto-Configuration: Leverages Spring AI's MCP client starter for zero-configuration setup
Interactive CLI: REPL interface for exploratory system diagnostics
Natural Language Processing: Maps human questions to appropriate server tools
Custom SQL Support: Execute direct osquery commands through the MCP server
Automatic Tool Discovery: Tools discovered via SyncMcpToolCallbackProvider injection
Built-in Error Handling: Framework-managed timeouts and process management
Declarative Configuration: YAML-based setup for easy maintenance
Comprehensive Testing: Includes automated unit tests for query mapping logic

Claude Code Skill

Zero Overhead: No server process required - runs osqueryi directly via Bash
Natural Language Triggers: Automatically activates for system diagnostic questions
Predefined Query Templates: Same diagnostic queries as the MCP server
Baseline Guidance: Includes "is this normal?" context for interpreting results
Security Explanations: Explains what makes processes suspicious (and common false positives)
Platform Awareness: Notes macOS vs Linux differences
Easy Maintenance: Just markdown files - edit and restart Claude Code

Performance & Reliability

Query Timeouts: Prevents hanging with 30-second timeout for queries, 5-second for version checks
Process Management: Uses ProcessBuilder for robust resource handling and proper cleanup
Execution Time Logging: Tracks query performance for monitoring and debugging
Error Handling: Captures and returns detailed error messages from failed queries
Resource Safety: Automatically destroys processes that exceed timeout limits

Prerequisites

Java 21 or higher
Osquery installed and osqueryi available in your PATH
Gradle (or use the included Gradle wrapper)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/OsqueryMcpServer.git
cd OsqueryMcpServer

Build the project:

./gradlew build        # Build server
./gradlew bootJar      # Create executable JAR
cd client-springai && ../gradlew build  # Build Spring AI client

Run the server:
