Pentest Tools MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for penetration testing tools, designed to work with various LLM clients like Claude Desktop, Roo Code, and other compatible MCP clients.

Features

• Comprehensive pentesting tools:
  • Directory scanning (FFuf, Dirsearch)
  • Vulnerability scanning (Nuclei, XSStrike)
  • API testing
  • Reconnaissance
  • And more...
• Pre-configured wordlists from SecLists
• Automated report generation
• Claude Desktop integration

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose (for containerized setup)
• Claude Desktop application or other MCP-compatible client
• Python 3.10+ and uv (for local setup)

Directory Setup

1. Create the required directories:

# Create directories
mkdir -p reports templates wordlists

2. Directory structure should look like this:

pentest-tools/
├── reports/          # For storing scan reports
├── templates/        # For report templates
├── wordlists/        # For custom wordlists
├── pentest-tools-mcp-server.py
├── config.json
├── requirements.txt
├── docker-compose.yml
└── Dockerfile

Setup

Docker Setup (Recommended)

1. Build and start the container:

docker-compose up -d --build

2. Verify the container is running:

docker-compose ps

3. Check logs if needed:

docker-compose logs -f

Local Setup

1. Install dependencies:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Install required system tools (example for Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt-get install nmap whatweb dnsrecon theharvester ffuf dirsearch sqlmap

Claude Desktop Integration

1. Configure Claude Desktop:

Windows:

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

MacOS/Linux:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add server configuration:

For Docker setup:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "pentest-tools": {
            "command": "docker-compose",
            "args": [
                "run",
                "--rm",
                "pentest-tools",
                "python3",
                "pentest-tools-mcp-server.py"
            ],
            "cwd": "\\Path\\to\\pentest-tools"
        }
    }
}

If the above configuration doesn't work on Windows, try this alternative approach:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "pentest-tools": {
            "command": "cmd",
            "args": [
                "/c",
                "cd /d \\path\\to\\pentest-tools && docker-compose run --rm pentest-tools python3 pentest-tools-mcp-server.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Note about cwd (Current Working Directory):

• cwd tells Claude Desktop which directory to run the command from
• It must be the absolute path to the directory containing docker-compose.yml
• On Windows, use double backslashes (\\) in paths
• On Linux/MacOS, use forward slashes (/)

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Usage

Available commands in Claude Desktop:

1. Reconnaissance:

/recon example.com

2. Directory scanning:

/scan example.com --type directory

3. Vulnerability scanning:

/scan example.com --type full
/scan example.com --type xss
/scan example.com --type sqli
/scan example.com --type ssrf

4. API testing:

/scan api.example.com --type api

Natural language commands:

• "Run a full security scan on example.com"
• "Check for XSS vulnerabilities on example.com"
• "Perform reconnaissance on example.com"
