Pentest MCP
MCP server providing penetration testing capabilities to AI agents. Enables authorized security professionals to run security scans, enumerate targets, test vulnerabilities, and conduct structured penetration testing workflows through AI agent orchestration — integrating common pentest tools into MCP-accessible operations.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Offensive testing tool. Authorized use only. Criminal liability for unauthorized use. Professionals only.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An authorized penetration tester or security researcher wants AI agents to assist with structured penetration testing workflows — orchestrating tools, analyzing output, and managing test phases on explicitly authorized targets.
Avoid When
You don't have written authorization for every target you plan to test. Unauthorized penetration testing is illegal. This is for licensed security professionals with proper engagement scope.
Use Cases
- • Automating penetration testing workflows with AI agent orchestration (authorized targets only)
- • Running network enumeration and vulnerability scanning from security assessment agents
- • Integrating pentest tool output analysis into AI-driven security assessment workflows
- • Supporting bug bounty research with AI-assisted vulnerability discovery
Not For
- • Testing systems you don't own or lack explicit written authorization to test
- • Automated attacks against production systems
- • Red team operations without proper scope and authorization documentation
Interface
Authentication
Local operation — wraps local pentest tools. Authorization to test targets is the operator's legal responsibility.
Pricing
Free open source. Requires local pentest tools (nmap, etc.) to be installed.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY: Penetration testing without explicit written authorization is illegal
- ⚠ Requires pentest tools installed locally (nmap, etc.) — not a zero-dependency setup
- ⚠ AI agents can escalate scope unintentionally — carefully constrain target scope in prompts
- ⚠ Community tool — may not cover all pentest phases; verify capabilities before engagement
