Overview

What is Mcp-Hydra?

Mcp-Hydra is a lightweight, extensible cybersecurity toolkit that connects AI assistants to security tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI-assisted security research, scanning, and analysis. It is designed for security researchers and penetration testers who want to leverage AI for automated reconnaissance and vulnerability assessment.

How to use Mcp-Hydra?

Build the Docker image from the repository (git clone, docker build), then add the server configuration to your AI client’s MCP settings (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, or .vscode/mcp.json for VS Code Copilot). The server runs inside a Docker container using the command docker run --rm -i --name hydramcp hydramcp.

Key features of Mcp-Hydra

  • Connects AI assistants to eight pre-installed security tools
  • Docker-based deployment for isolation and portability
  • Supports Sublist3r, DNSRecon, Holehe, Nmap, OCR, Sqlmap, WPScan, and Zmap
  • Lightweight and extensible with planned tool additions
  • Provides example prompts for each integrated tool
  • Open-source under the MIT license

Use cases of Mcp-Hydra

  • Enumerate subdomains for a target domain using Sublist3r
  • Perform DNS reconnaissance with DNSRecon
  • Check if an email is registered on multiple websites via Holehe
  • Scan a host for open ports using Nmap or a subnet for open ports with Zmap
  • Automate SQL injection testing on web forms with Sqlmap
