virustotal

v0.1.0Verified publisher

Looks up an IP, domain, URL or file hash in VirusTotal: engine verdicts, reputation, tags, owner, DNS records

Run

TerminalAgent

Through ot mcp, an agent calls run_tool with this; ot asks you before anything that goes online or touches a target. Set it up: ot mcp install claude (or cursor, vscode, codex, gemini).

{"tool":"osintverse-community/virustotal"}

Or just say: "Run osintverse-community/virustotal on … with OTInstaller." The registry's read-only MCP server at api.otinstaller.com/mcp can find tools without installing anything.

ot run osintverse-community/virustotal --format table

ot install osintverse-community/virustotal

Docker image in a read-only container · talks to www.virustotal.com · needs VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY · up to 1 min. The first ot run installs the tool after asking once. Drop --format table for JSON.

virustotal

Looks up an IP address, domain, URL or file hash in VirusTotal and reports how many antivirus engines and URL scanners flag it, its community reputation and tags, and what VirusTotal knows around it: an IP's network owner and country, a domain's registrar and last DNS records, a URL's page title and final address, a file's names, type, size and threat label. Uses VirusTotal's official Python client, vt-py. It only reads existing reports and never submits anything, so the target is not contacted.

ot run osintverse-community/virustotal --domain example.com

Inputs

Give exactly one.

Input	Required
`ip`	one of these	IP address
`domain`	one of these	Domain
`url`	one of these	URL
`hash`	one of these	MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-256 of a file

Keys

VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY, set with ot keys set VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY. A free account's public API key works, within 4 lookups a minute and 500 a day, for non-commercial use: get it at https://www.virustotal.com/gui/my-apikey. Without the key the tool exits with code 3.

Notes

A target VirusTotal has never seen gives no entities and a note on stderr. URLs are looked up exactly as given: VirusTotal treats http://example.com and https://example.com/ as different URLs.

Next steps

Check a domain's current DNS records with osintverse-community/dns-records, or look a file hash up in osintverse-community/malwarebazaar.

Development

pip install vt-py==0.22.0

What next

virustotal finds ip, domain, url, document, organization, location, dns record. Tools that take those:

ip → 10 tools domain → 10 tools url → 10 tools organization → 6 tools dns record → 10 tools ot auto, with a saved result

Other ip address tools

All ip address tools →

Alternatives to virustotal that also take an ip address; ot auto runs every installed one on the same value.
