Shodan MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:1654-1672 (handler)

  MCP tool handler for 'get_api_info' that calls shodanClient.getApiInfo() and formats the response as JSON text.
  case "get_api_info": { try { const apiInfo = await shodanClient.getApiInfo(); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(apiInfo, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error) { if (error instanceof McpError) { throw error; } throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InternalError, `Error getting API info: ${(error as Error).message}` ); } }
• src/index.ts:456-469 (helper)

  Core ShodanClient method that performs the actual API call to Shodan's /api-info endpoint to retrieve API plan information.
  async getApiInfo(): Promise<any> { try { const response = await this.axiosInstance.get("/api-info"); return response.data; } catch (error: unknown) { if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InternalError, `Shodan API error: ${error.response?.data?.error || error.message}` ); } throw error; } }
• src/index.ts:1072-1078 (schema)

  Tool schema and registration entry defining the 'get_api_info' tool with empty input schema (no parameters required).
  name: "get_api_info", description: "Get information about your API plan including credits and limits", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {} } },
• src/index.ts:875-1280 (registration)

  Registration of all tools including 'get_api_info' in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler.
