Robin Dark Web OSINT MCP Server: Setup for Claude Code and Codex

• Runs a whole dark web investigation in one call

  Refines your question, searches, filters, reads pages and writes a summary, then saves it. The source calls it a convenience that uses your assistant's model if it supports sampling.

  Try: “Investigate leaked credentials for example.com on the dark web.”

• Turns your question into a short dark web search

  Rewrites a question as a search query of five words or fewer. It uses your model when the client offers it.

  Try: “Refine this question into a dark web search query.”

• Searches sixteen onion search engines over Tor

  Searches onion search engines for one refined query and returns the results with short IDs. The titles come from the sites found, so treat them as untrusted.

  Try: “Search the dark web for "example.com credentials dump".”

  Network · robin_search

• Keeps only the on-topic results

  Judges every result of your latest search for relevance and returns the ones that fit, most relevant first.

  Try: “Filter those results down to what is on topic.”

  Read · robin_filter

• Reads pages over Tor

  Reads the pages of result IDs from the filter step, or onion addresses you give, over Tor and returns the text as untrusted data. Non-onion hosts are refused unless you allow clear web.

  Try: “Read the pages for the filtered results.”

  Network · robin_scrape

• Saves a report you wrote

  Saves the summary you wrote from search and scrape results into the investigations folder. Robin picks the file name.

  Try: “Save this summary as an investigation report.”

  Write · robin_save_investigation

• Lists saved investigations

  Lists saved reports on this machine, newest first.

  Try: “Show my saved investigations.”

  Files · robin_list_investigations

• Lists models Robin can run on its own

  Lists models available to Robin from configured providers. An empty list is normal, since your assistant's model can be used instead.

  Try: “Which models can Robin use?”

  Read · robin_list_models

• Checks that Tor is up

  Reports whether Tor is running and can also probe a model or the search engines when you ask.

  Try: “Is Robin ready? Check Tor.”

Watch out for

• Dark web pages are untrusted and may try to steer the assistant

  Robin fences scraped text and strips hidden characters. Still, do not give the same session tools that can send data or run code. github.com

• Accessing some content may be illegal

  The README says legality depends on your jurisdiction and puts responsibility on you. Check local law before you use it. github.com

• Reports are saved to disk

  Saved reports go into the investigations volume. The README says the agent never picks the file path. github.com

• Page reads go through Tor

  The README says searches and page scrapes go through Tor, while model calls go directly. github.com
