Rogue Arena MCP Server + Skills

Connect Claude Code to your Rogue Arena workspace. This repo includes:

• MCP Server -- authenticated proxy that gives Claude access to your canvases, deployments, plugins, and more
• 4 Skills -- teach Claude how to build scenarios, develop plugins, create curriculum, and operate on live deployments

Install

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rogue-labs-cyber/rogue-arena-mcp/main/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rogue-labs-cyber/rogue-arena-mcp/main/install.ps1 | iex

The installer checks for Node.js 18+, git, and Claude Code — and offers to install any that are missing. It then clones the repo, builds the MCP server, installs the skills, and configures Claude Code automatically.

Then authenticate:

rogue-mcp login

A browser window opens for you to sign in with your Rogue Arena account. Your token is stored in your OS keychain and auto-refreshes for 31 days.

That's it. Restart Claude Code and the tools are available.

What Gets Installed

MCP Server

The rogue-mcp CLI connects Claude Code to the Rogue Arena hub at arena.roguelabs.io. It proxies tool calls with your authentication, so Claude can:

• Read and modify canvases (machines, VLANs, plugins, forests)
• Manage deployments (start, monitor, debug)
• Upload/download files to VMs
• Work with curriculum content
• Develop and test Ansible plugins

Skills

Skill	What it does
rogue-build-scenario	Design lab scenarios -- brainstorm company context and infrastructure, implement via MCP tools, debug deployments
rogue-active-deployment	Operate on running deployments -- execute commands, browse files, manage snapshots, test payloads against detections
rogue-plugin-dev	Develop Ansible plugins -- brainstorm offline install approaches, write YAML, manage vaults
rogue-curriculum-builder	Build course content -- create chapters, sections, CTF nodes, insert media

Skills activate automatically when you ask Claude to do something that matches their triggers (e.g., "build a lab", "test this payload", "create a chapter").

Typical Workflow

You:    "Build me a lab with a small financial company, 2 domains, 5 machines"
Claude: [activates rogue-build-scenario, brainstorms with you, builds via MCP tools]

You:    "Deploy it and upload my C2 implant to the Windows workstation"
Claude: [activates rogue-active-deployment, deploys, uploads file]

You:    "Test the implant against detections"
Claude: [activates rogue-maldev, snapshots, executes, checks Elastic, reverts]

Commands

rogue-mcp login     # Authenticate with Rogue Arena
rogue-mcp logout    # Sign out and revoke token
rogue-mcp whoami    # Check auth status
rogue-mcp serve     # Start the MCP server (Claude Code does this automatically)

File Access

Upload and download tools can read/write files on your local machine. Claude Code prompts you before each file operation. The server blocks access to sensitive directories (~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.gnupg, etc.) as a safety net.

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
ROGUE_HUB_URL	https://arena.roguelabs.io	Hub API URL
ROGUE_VAULTS_URL	Same as hub URL	Vaults service URL
ROGUE_CLIENT_ID	rogue-mcp	Keycloak client ID

Updating

Re-run the install command to pull the latest version.

Uninstalling

# 1. Sign out (revokes the token and clears the keychain entry)
rogue-mcp logout

# 2. Remove the MCP server from Claude Code
claude mcp remove --scope user rogue-arena

# 3. Uninstall the global CLI
npm uninstall -g rogue-arena-mcp

# 4. Remove the local clone and plugin cache
rm -rf ~/.rogue-arena-mcp ~/.claude/plugins/cache/rogue-arena

Optional: remove the four Rogue Arena plugin entries from ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json if you want Claude Code to stop listing them in /plugin.

Troubleshooting

"Not logged in" -- Run rogue-mcp login.

"Session expired" -- Token expired after ~31 days of inactivity. Run rogue-mcp login again.

Tools not appearing -- Restart Claude Code. Run rogue-mcp whoami to verify auth.

"No canvas set" -- Tell Claude to set a canvas, or use rogue_set_canvas with your canvas version ID from the Rogue Arena URL.
