A Kali GPT alternative for the terminal
If you searched for Kali GPT you want an AI assistant that knows Kali Linux tooling and will talk about offensive security. PentestLLM gives you that as an API: 9 security-tuned builds on one prepaid key, used from a terminal agent on your Kali machine instead of a separate chat product.
curl https://api.pentestllm.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk-ptl-live-…" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "auto/security",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Rank these scanner findings by severity and say what to verify first."}]
}'
What Kali GPT is, as of November 2026
The site kali-gpt.com, read on 11 November 2026, presents Kali GPT as a custom AI assistant for the Kali Linux ecosystem and says it is built for Kali Linux and powered by GPT-4. It is sold through a store page as a one-time purchase priced at €79.90, and on the day we read it the product was marked sold out.
That is everything we state about it, because it is all the page shows. We have not used the product and do not compare its answers with anything here.
The need behind the search
People who look for Kali GPT usually want three things: explanations of what a Kali tool’s output means, help choosing the next step in an authorized test, and a model that does not decline the subject. The third is the hard one. A general model wrapped in a security persona still carries its refusal training, and it shows the moment a question gets specific.
The builds on PentestLLM are tuned or abliterated to answer security questions other models decline. That is reduced refusals, not none.
How PentestLLM works on Kali
- In a terminal agent
- Install OpenCode, aider or Claude Code on Kali and point it at
https://api.pentestllm.ai/v1. The agent reads files and proposes commands; you approve what runs. - With the Kali MCP server
- Kali packages
mcp-kali-server, a bridge that lets an MCP client run commands on the machine. A security build drives it through your agent. - From a script
- Pipe tool output to the API with curl or the OpenAI SDK and get a ranked summary back.
- In an editor
- Cline and Cursor take the same base URL and key.
The Kali MCP guide and the OpenCode guide have the exact commands and config.
Paying for it
PentestLLM is prepaid and billed per token. The smallest top-up is $10, by card or crypto, and there is no subscription. The model id auto/security sends a short question to a fast build and a long reasoning task to a stronger one, each at its own price. The table below is the live catalog on 2026-11-11; the pricing page has the same figures.
What to expect, honestly
A model does not replace knowing your tools. It reads output faster than you and explains unfamiliar flags, and it is sometimes wrong in a confident voice. Keep a person approving every command an agent proposes, especially on a client network.
It also does not change what you are allowed to test. Kali is a toolbox for authorized work, and so is this: systems you own or have written permission to test, per the acceptable use policy.
9 security builds, priced per token
Read from the live catalog on 2026-11-11. Prices are US dollars per million tokens, paid from a prepaid balance that starts at $10. The id auto/security has no price of its own: each request is billed at the build that answered.

Only through an agent you set up, such as OpenCode or an MCP client with the Kali MCP server, and you choose whether each command needs your approval. Keep approval on for anything touching a target.
Per token from a prepaid balance, minimum top-up $10. On 2026-11-11 input prices for security builds start at $0.40 per million tokens.
