mcp-shodan
Shodan MCP — wraps the full Shodan REST API (api.shodan.io)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| What's exposed on IP — open ports, services, and CVEs. Returns the full Shodan host profile: ports, hostnames, org/ISP, geolocation, OS, known vulnerabilities, and a per-service banner sample. Example: shodan_host({ ip: "8.8.8.8", _apiKey: "your-key" }) |
| Search Shodan for hosts matching using Shodan search syntax (e.g. "apache country:US", "port:22 org:"Google""). Returns matching hosts with IP, port, org, hostnames, product, and location. Example: shodan_host_search({ query: "apache country:US", _apiKey: "your-key" }) |
| Count hosts matching with facet breakdown (free — this endpoint does not consume query credits). Returns the total match count plus optional facet aggregations (e.g. top countries, orgs, ports). Example: shodan_host_count({ query: "apache", facets: "country:10", _apiKey: "your-key" }) |
