MCP Integration
This server can be integrated with Claude or other MCP-compatible AI assistants. To add it to Claude Desktop or Claude.app:
-
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" } } } }
-
Restart Claude to load the new MCP server.
