Exegol is a suite. The Workstation is the lab: Docker images, the wrapper CLI, and containers. Studio, MCP, and Sentinel plug into it. You do not need the whole suite on day one. Start with Workstation.
Recommended path
- Install Workstation so you have Docker, the wrapper, an image, and a running container.
→ Install Exegol Workstation - Optionally add Studio, the hacking cockpit in VS Code and compatible forks.
→ Studio getting started
Workstation alone is enough for a shell with exegol start. Studio is optional.
What each product gives you
- Workstation: a modern offensive environment: curated tools, one container per engagement, throw it away when done.
- Studio New!: an editor cockpit integrating AI the right way: harness, MCPs, chat, approvals, projects, kill chain, and agent-driven tools inside your containers (VS Code and compatible forks). Optional.
- MCP: Exegol containers reachable from an assistant you already use (Cursor, Claude Desktop, ...), without handing that assistant your host OS. Optional.
- Sentinel EnterpriseAdd-on: a structured audit trail of interactive commands (and optional artifacts) written on the host for review or a SIEM. Enterprise add-on.
