Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-server-nmap Scan scanme.nmap.org for open ports"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP server that exposes the python-nmap library as MCP tools for network scanning operations.
This MCP server wraps the python-nmap library, allowing AI assistants to perform network reconnaissance through MCP tools. It provides three scanning interfaces:
PortScanner (synchronous) - Blocking scans that wait for completion
PortScannerAsync (asynchronous) - Non-blocking scans with callbacks
PortScannerYield (generator) - Streaming results as hosts are discovered
Related MCP server: Nmap MCP Server
nmap must be installed on the system
Python 3.10+
pip install mcp-server-nmapmcp-name: io.github.daedalus/mcp-server-nmap
Add this to your MCP settings file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-nmap": {
"command": "mcp-server-nmap"
}
}
}Or with custom nmap path:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-nmap": {
"command": "mcp-server-nmap",
"env": {
"PATH": "/custom/path:$PATH"
}
}
}
