NmapMCP

What is NmapMCP?

NmapMCP is a robust integration of the Nmap scanning tool with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling seamless network scanning capabilities within MCP-compatible environments. It allows users to perform various network scans, such as top ports scanning, DNS brute force, and OS detection, directly through MCP interfaces.

How to use NmapMCP?

Installation requires cloning the repository, installing uv, creating a virtual environment, and installing dependencies from pyproject.toml. Configure the server by editing claude_desktop_config.json to set the command, directory, and run main.py. Alternatively, install via Smithery using npx -y @smithery/cli install @0xPratikPatil/nmapmcp --client claude.
