Bug Bounty MCP Server
# Bug Bounty MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude Code access to a comprehensive bug bounty hunting knowledge base. Includes techniques, payloads, wordlists, real-world reports, and structured methodology.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Clone knowledge base repos (PayloadsAllTheThings, HackTricks, HackTricks-Cloud, SecLists, DEFCON32 workshop)
npm run clone-repos
# Build
npm run build
# Run (stdio mode, default)
npm start
```
## Add to Claude Code
Add to your Claude Code MCP config (`~/.claude/settings.json` or project `.claude/settings.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bug-bounty-knowledge": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/rs0n-bug-bounty-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
The server uses **stdio transport** (no port needed), so there are no port conflicts with other MCP servers.

## Knowledge Base Sources
- **PayloadsAllTheThings** - Payload lists and bypass techniques
- **HackTricks** - Comprehensive pentesting wiki
- **HackTricks-Cloud** - Cloud security testing
- **SecLists** - Wordlists for fuzzing, brute-forcing, and enumeration
- **DEFCON32 Workshop** - rs0n's battle-tested methodology
- **778+ curated bug bounty reports** (accepted) with detailed writeups
- **Rejected report patterns** - What NOT to submit
## Updating Knowledge Base
```bash
# Pull latest from all repos
npm run clone-repos
```

Scored across 14 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose. Methodology tools are differentiated as general vs. specific (rs0n's). Wordlist tools cover recommendation, content retrieval, listing, and searching. Knowledge base tools (browse, read, search) are separate operations. No overlapping responsibilities.
All tools follow a consistent verb_object pattern with snake_case. Predominantly use 'get_' for data retrieval, with other verbs like 'assess', 'browse', 'list', 'read', 'search'. No mixing of conventions.
14 tools is well-scoped for a bug bounty assistance server. It covers methodology, payloads, wordlists, knowledge base access, and report assessment without being overwhelming or too sparse.
The tool set provides comprehensive support for bug bounty testing: methodology (general and specific), payloads, WAF bypass, cloud security, wordlist management, report quality assessment, and real-world reports. There are no obvious missing features.
