pentesting-cyber-mcp
Provides a collection of MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementations that wrap many common cybersecurity/pentesting tools (e.g., nmap, nuclei, sqlmap, zap, trivy, etc.) so they can be executed via an MCP-compatible client, including a “unified” server to access multiple tools through a single MCP connection.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Security notice only covers authorized testing and securing API keys, but the README does not describe secure transport (beyond typical HTTPS assumptions), authentication/authorization, least-privilege scoping, audit logging, or secret-handling practices inside the MCP servers. Because it wraps many offensive/security tools, misuse risk is high unless constrained by your surrounding infrastructure.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You have authorized targets and want a standardized way for an MCP client/agent to call multiple local security tools consistently.
Avoid When
You cannot guarantee authorization, operational safety, or proper sandboxing, or you require strict security controls beyond what this repository describes.
Use Cases
- • Automating reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning workflows via an MCP client
- • Integrating common security tooling into agentic/pipeline-based pentesting operations
- • Standardizing tool invocation and outputs behind the MCP protocol for multiple security utilities
Not For
- • Unauthenticated/unauthorized security testing
- • Production systems requiring strong built-in access controls, auditing, or network-level safety mechanisms
- • Environments where running pentesting tools is prohibited or severely restricted
Interface
Authentication
README shows MCP client configuration that runs local node commands. No explicit auth, user identity, or authorization model is documented for the MCP servers themselves.
Pricing
Repository appears MIT-licensed; no SaaS pricing information is provided.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Many wrapped tools require privileged execution (root/admin) and may fail or behave differently depending on environment
- ⚠ Some tools can be high-noise/impactful (e.g., exploitation/password auditing), so agents need strong safety limits
- ⚠ No documented MCP tool schemas, output formats, or error/retry conventions in the README (may vary per server)
- ⚠ The MCP integration shown is via starting local processes; agent clients must manage process lifecycles and stdout/stderr parsing correctly
