Quick start
1. Docker lab (API without RF adapter)
cd kismetwireless-mcp\docker
docker compose up -d
- UI: http://127.0.0.1:2501/
- Lab login:
kismet/kismet
2. Install MCP package
cd kismetwireless-mcp
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate
python -m pip install -e .
3. Doctor + setup
$env:KISMET_URL = "http://127.0.0.1:2501"
