A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to perform network scanning operations using NMAP. This server provides a standardized interface for AI models to interact with NMAP, making it possible to perform network analysis and security assessments through AI conversations.
Install the package globally using npm:
npm install -g mcp-nmap-server
Or install locally in your project:
npm install mcp-nmap-server
The server provides access to NMAP's core functionality through a simple interface. It supports quick scans, full port scans, version detection, and custom timing templates. The implementation uses NMAP's native command-line interface, ensuring reliability and consistency with standard NMAP operations.
To use this server with Claude Desktop on Windows, you'll need to configure it in the Claude configuration file located at:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Claude\config.json
Add the NMAP server to your configuration by adding it to the mcpServers section. Here's a complete example of a Claude Desktop configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nmap": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\Downloads\\mcp-nmap-server\\dist\\index.js"
]
}
},
"globalShortcut": "Ctrl+Q"
}
Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your Windows username and adjust the path to where you've installed the NMAP server.
Once configured, AI assistants like Claude can use the server through the run_nmap_scan function. The function accepts the following parameters:
{
target: string; // Host or network to scan
ports?: string; // Optional port specification (e.g., "80,443" or "1-1000")
scanType?: 'quick' | 'full' | 'version'; // Scan type (default: 'quick')
timing?: number; // NMAP timing template 0-5 (default: 3)
additionalFlags?: string; // Optional additional NMAP flags
}
Example conversation with Claude:
Human: Can you scan localhost for open ports?
Claude: I'll help you scan localhost using NMAP.
<runs nmap scan with parameters>
target: "localhost"
scanType: "quick"
timing: 3
