      "args": ["/path/to/exploitdb-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Search Exploits

Use the search_exploits tool to search for exploits in the database:

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>mcp-exploitdb-server</server_name>
<tool_name>search_exploits</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "query": "wordpress plugin",
  "platform": "php",
  "limit": 5
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>

Additional search parameters:

type: Filter by exploit type (e.g., webapps, remote, local)
cve: Filter by CVE ID
author: Filter by author name
start_date/end_date: Filter by date range (YYYY-MM-DD)
verified: Filter by verified status (true/false)
offset: For pagination

Get Exploit Details

Use the get_exploit tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific exploit:

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>mcp-exploitdb-server</server_name>
<tool_name>get_exploit</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "id": 12345,
  "include_code": true
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>

Find Exploits by CVE

Use the find_by_cve tool to find all exploits related to a specific CVE:

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>mcp-exploitdb-server</server_name>
<tool_name>find_by_cve</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "cve": "CVE-2021-44228",
  "limit": 10
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>

Get Recent Exploits

Use the get_recent_exploits tool to retrieve recently added exploits:

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>mcp-exploitdb-server</server_name>
<tool_name>get_recent_exploits</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "limit": 10
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>

Get Statistics

Use the get_statistics tool to get insights about the exploits in the database:

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>mcp-exploitdb-server</server_name>
<tool_name>get_statistics</tool_name>
<arguments>
{}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
