What is Pentestmcp?
Pentestmcp is an MCP server that bridges Large Language Models (LLMs) with over 20 practical penetration testing tools (Nmap, Nuclei, ZAP, SQLMap, etc.) via the Model Context Protocol. It enables AI agents within MCP-compatible clients (like Claude Desktop or VS Code) to perform automated security assessment tasks through natural language control.
How to use Pentestmcp?
Install Docker, then pull the pre-built image (docker pull ramgameer/pentest-mcp:latest) or build locally. Configure your MCP client host (e.g., Claude Desktop or VS Code Copilot Chat) to launch the server using docker run -i --rm ramgameer/pentest-mcp:latest. Once connected, issue natural language prompts to invoke the exposed tools.
Key features of Pentestmcp?
- Integrates over 20 essential penetration testing tools via MCP
- Standardized access for any MCP client supporting

Use cases of Pentestmcp?
- Perform reconnaissance and enumeration (subdomains, DNS, WHOIS) via natural language
- Run vulnerability scans using Nuclei templates or Nmap service detection
- Execute web application analysis (hidden parameters, SQL injection) interactively
- Conduct Active Directory enumeration and attack simulations (AS‑REP roasting, Kerberoasting)
- Integrate automated security testing into AI‑driven development or SOC workflows
