reconFTW MCP Server

Powered by reconFTW — Created by @six2dez

reconFTW MCP Server is a wrapper for the incredibly powerful reconFTW reconnaissance framework. This project enables AI assistants to leverage the best-in-class automation created by six2dez.

🎯 Features

• Full reconFTW Integration: Access all reconFTW capabilities through MCP tools

• Multiple Scan Modes: Full, passive, subdomains, vulnerabilities, OSINT, and more

• Real-time Status: Monitor scan progress and get results on demand

• Resource Access: Access scan results as MCP resources

• Dual Transport: STDIO for local AI assistants, SSE for remote access

• Docker Ready: Pre-configured Docker and docker-compose setup

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Docker (Recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/reconftw-mcp.git
cd reconftw-mcp

# Build and run (SSE mode)
docker-compose up -d

# MCP server will be available at http://localhost:8002/sse

Option 2: Docker Direct

# Build the image
docker build -t reconftw-mcp .

# Run in SSE mode (for remote access)
docker run -p 8002:8002 -v reconftw-output:/opt/reconftw/output reconftw-mcp mcp --sse

# Run in STDIO mode (for Claude Code)
docker run -i -v reconftw-output:/opt/reconftw/output reconftw-mcp mcp

Option 3: Local Installation

# Install reconFTW first
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/six2dez/reconftw.git ~/reconftw
cd ~/reconftw && ./install.sh

# Install MCP server
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the MCP server
python mcp_server.py

🔌 Integration with AI Assistants

Claude Code (STDIO Mode)

Add to your Claude Code configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reconftw": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-v",
        "reconftw-output:/opt/reconftw/output",
        "reconftw-mcp",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Remote MCP Clients (SSE Mode)

Connect to http://localhost:8002/sse (or your server URL).

Example Usage with Claude

User: Can you scan example.com for subdomains?

Claude: I'll start a subdomain enumeration scan for example.com.

[Claude calls subdomain_enum tool]

Claude: I've started scan #1 for example.com. Let me check the status...

[Claude calls get_scan_status tool]

Claude: The scan is running. I found 45 subdomains so far. Would you like me to wait for completion or get the current results?
