Shodan MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Shodan API functionality, allowing AI assistants to query information about internet-connected devices and services.

Features

  • Host Information: Get detailed information about specific IP addresses
  • Search Capabilities: Search Shodan's database for devices and services
  • Network Scanning: Scan network ranges (CIDR notation) for devices
  • SSL Certificate Information: Get SSL certificate details for domains
  • IoT Device Search: Find specific types of IoT devices

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Cyreslab-AI/shodan-mcp-server.git
    cd shodan-mcp-server
    
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install
    
  3. Build the server:

    npm run build
    
  4. Set up your Shodan API key:

    export SHODAN_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
    
  5. Start the server:

    npm start
    

MCP Integration

This server can be integrated with Claude or other MCP-compatible AI assistants. To add it to Claude Desktop or Claude.app:

  1. Add the server to your MCP settings:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "shodan": {
          "command": "node",
          "args": ["/path/to/shodan-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
          "env": {
            "SHODAN_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    
  2. Restart Claude to load the new MCP server.
