Features

  • Exposes all known Enigma machine models: Enigma M3, Enigma M4, Enigma I, Enigma K, Enigma Z, Enigma D, and more.
  • Dynamic Configuration: LLMs can specify rotors, initial positions, ring settings, reflectors, and plugboard pairs for the encryption.
  • Local and Network Mode: Supports both stdio transport for local MCP integrations (like Claude Desktop) and sse transport to expose the tools over a network.
  • Dockerized: Easy portability and execution across platforms.

Exposed Tools

encrypt_message

Encrypt or decrypt a message using a configured Enigma machine.

Arguments:

  • machine_model (str): Model name. Supported: 'M3', 'M4', 'I', 'I_Norway', 'I_Sondermaschine', 'K', 'K_Swiss', 'D', 'Z', 'B_A133'.
  • message (str): The plaintext or ciphertext to process.
  • rotors (list[object]): List of RotorConfig objects. Each object specifies rotor_type (str), ring_setting (int, default=0), and initial_position (int | str, default=0). IMPORTANT: The list MUST be ordered exactly as: [Fastest/Rightmost, Middle, Slowest/Leftmost, Greek (if M4)].
  • reflector (object): A ReflectorConfig object specifying reflector_type (str), and optionally ring_setting (int) and initial_position (int | str) for rotating reflectors.
  • plugboard_pairs (dict, optional): Dictionary mapping plugboard connections (e.g., {"A": "B", "C": "D"}).

Example Prompts

Once the server is configured, you can test it by sending the following prompts to your LLM:

Example 1: Basic Encryption (Enigma M3)

"I need to encrypt the message 'TOPSECRET' using an Enigma M3. The rotors, ordered from fastest to slowest, are III, II, and I. All starting at position 0 with ring settings at 0. Use reflector 'UKWB' and no plugboard. What is the ciphertext?"

Example 2: Historical Decryption (Enigma I)

"Decrypt this 1930 Enigma I message. The ciphertext is 'GCDSEAHUGWTQGRK'. The machine settings, strictly ordered from Fastest to Slowest, are: Rotors III, I, and II. Their respective ring settings are 21, 12, and 23. Their initial positions are 11, 1, and 0. The reflector is 'UKWA'. The plugboard swaps are: A/M, F/I, N/V, P/S, T/U, W/Z."

Example 3: Complex M4 Configuration

"Use the Enigma M4 to encrypt the message 'DIVE DIVE DIVE'. The machine uses the 'UKWBThin' reflector. The rotors, explicitly ordered as [Fastest, Middle, Slowest, Greek], are: VIII (pos 2), III (pos 6), IV (pos 12), and Gamma (pos 21). All ring settings are 0. Please process this."

Testing

A comprehensive test suite is included in tests/test_server.py. It tests the encryption and decryption reversibility for all 10 supported Enigma models.

To run the tests:

# Activate your virtual environment first
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install pytest
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)/src/enigmapython_mcp && pytest tests/* 

Testing the SSE Server interactively

Because the Model Context Protocol requires a stateful initialization handshake before any tools can be called, manually testing the SSE endpoint with curl is quite complex.

The easiest and officially recommended way to test the server is using the MCP Inspector:

  1. Ensure your server is running in SSE mode:
    uv run enigmapython-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
  2. In a second terminal, launch the Inspector:
    npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
  3. A web interface will open in your browser (usually at http://localhost:5173).
  4. Change the Transport Type to SSE.
  5. Enter http://localhost:8000/sse as the URL and click Connect.
  6. You can now visually configure and execute the encrypt_message tool!
