Features

Current Implementation

• nmap_scan - Network port scanning and service detection with multiple scan types

• nikto_scan - Web vulnerability scanning with plugin support

• sqlmap_test - SQL injection testing with advanced options

• wpscan_test - WordPress vulnerability scanning with API token support

• dirb_scan - Directory and file brute forcing with custom wordlists

• searchsploit_lookup - Exploit database searching with filters

• ping_sweep - Network discovery and connectivity testing

• custom_scan - Execute custom commands with whitelisted tools

Quick Start

1. Clone and Build:

   git clone https://github.com/avi686/security-mcp-server.git
   cd security-mcp-server
   docker build -t security-mcp-server .

2. Set up MCP Configuration:

   mkdir -p ~/.docker/mcp/catalogs

3. Create custom catalog (~/.docker/mcp/catalogs/custom.yaml):

   version: 2
   name: custom
   displayName: Custom MCP Servers
   registry:
     security:
       description: "Comprehensive penetration testing tools for educational and authorized use"
       title: "Security Testing Tools"
       type: server
       dateAdded: "2025-09-24T00:00:00Z"
       image: security-mcp-server:latest
       ref: ""
       tools:
         - name: nmap_scan
         - name: nikto_scan
         - name: sqlmap_test
         - name: wpscan_test
         - name: dirb_scan
         - name: searchsploit_lookup
         - name: ping_sweep
         - name: custom_scan
       metadata:
         category: security
         tags:
           - penetration-testing
           - security
           - kali-linux
           - educational
         license: MIT
         owner: local

4. Update registry (~/.docker/mcp/registry.yaml):

   registry:
     security:
       ref: ""

5. Configure Claude Desktop (add to your config):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "mcp-toolkit-gateway": {
         "command": "docker",
         "args": [
           "run", "-i", "--rm", "--network=host",
           "-v", "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock",
           "-v", "/path/to/your/home/.docker/mcp:/mcp",
           "docker/mcp-gateway",
           "--catalog=/mcp/catalogs/docker-mcp.yaml",
           "--catalog=/mcp/catalogs/custom.yaml",
           "--config=/mcp/config.yaml",
           "--registry=/mcp/registry.yaml",
           "--tools-config=/mcp/tools.yaml",
           "--transport=stdio"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

6. Restart Claude Desktop

Usage Examples

In Claude Desktop, you can ask:

• "Scan example.com for open ports using nmap"

• "Check https://testsite.com for web vulnerabilities with nikto"

• "Search for Apache exploits in the database"

• "Test WordPress site at https://myblog.com for vulnerabilities"

• "Brute force directories on https://target.com with custom extensions"

• "Perform SQL injection testing on https://webapp.com/page?id=1"

Environment Variables

• SCAN_TIMEOUT: Maximum scan time in seconds (default: 300)

• DEFAULT_INTENSITY: Nmap timing template T1-T5 (default: T3)

• DIRB_WORDLIST: Path to directory wordlist (default: common.txt)

• MAX_THREADS: Maximum thread count for tools (default: 10)
