What is mcp-recon?
mcp-recon (formerly Tellix) is a conversational reconnaissance interface and MCP server that bridges natural language with HTTP infrastructure analysis, powered by ProjectDiscovery’s httpx and asnmap tools. It is designed for security researchers and developers who want to perform web domain reconnaissance through AI assistants like Claude Desktop.
How to use mcp-recon?
Clone the repository, build the Docker image, then add the container as an MCP server in your Claude Desktop configuration using the provided docker run command. Optionally, set a PDCP_API_KEY environment variable for ProjectDiscovery API access. Once configured, issue natural language queries such as “What’s the status code for example.com?” to trigger recon tools.
