How to Set Up and Use Pentesting Cyber
Pentesting Cyber MCP provides over 50 individual MCP servers that wrap professional-grade security tools — including Nmap, Burp Suite, Nuclei, Shodan, BloodHound, Semgrep, and Trivy — into a unified AI-accessible interface. Each tool is exposed through the Model Context Protocol so that AI clients like Claude can orchestrate reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploitation, cloud security auditing, and threat intelligence workflows in plain English. Security researchers and penetration testers can use this to dramatically speed up structured assessments while keeping every action logged and auditable.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher and pnpm installed
- The underlying security tools (Nmap, Nuclei, etc.) installed on your system and available in PATH
- Authorization to perform security testing on all target systems
- An MCP-compatible AI client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the repository
Clone the pentesting-cyber-mcp monorepo to your local machine. Each security tool has its own subdirectory under servers/.
git clone https://github.com/hackersatyamrastogi/pentesting-cyber-mcp.git
cd pentesting-cyber-mcpInstall dependencies and build all servers
Install Node.js dependencies for the entire monorepo and compile all TypeScript server files to JavaScript.
pnpm install
pnpm buildInstall required security tools on your system
Each MCP server delegates to a native security binary. Install the tools you intend to use. Below are common examples — install only what you need and have authorization to use.
# macOS examples
brew install nmap nuclei
# Debian/Ubuntu examples
sudo apt install nmap
go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3/cmd/nuclei@latestConfigure your MCP client for the servers you need
Each server is a separate Node.js process. Add entries to your claude_desktop_config.json for each tool you want to use, providing the path to the built index.js and the path to the underlying binary.
{
"mcpServers": {
"nmap": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/pentesting-cyber-mcp/servers/nmap/build/index.js", "/usr/bin/nmap"]
},
"nuclei": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/pentesting-cyber-mcp/servers/nuclei/build/index.js", "/usr/local/bin/nuclei"]
}
}
}Restart your MCP client and verify tool availability
Restart Claude Desktop (or your chosen MCP client) so it picks up the new server configuration. Confirm the security tools appear in the available tools list before running any assessments.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts for AI-driven penetration testing workflows (only on systems you are authorized to test).
- "Run an Nmap SYN scan on 192.168.1.0/24 and identify open ports and service versions."
- "Use Nuclei to scan https://example.com for CVEs using the cve tag, and summarize critical findings."
- "Enumerate subdomains for example.com using the subdomain discovery tools."
- "Check the SSL/TLS configuration of api.example.com for weak ciphers or expired certificates."
- "Scan the Docker image myapp:latest with Trivy and list all high and critical vulnerabilities."Troubleshooting Pentesting Cyber
Server fails to start with 'Cannot find module' error
Run pnpm build again from the repository root to ensure the TypeScript for that server compiled successfully. Also confirm pnpm install completed without errors.
Tool returns 'binary not found' or spawns an empty process
Verify the second argument in args points to the actual binary path (e.g. /usr/bin/nmap). Run which nmap in your terminal to find the correct path and update the config accordingly.
Nuclei reports no templates found
Run nuclei -update-templates to download the latest Nuclei template library to your home directory (~/.nuclei-templates). Nuclei requires templates to be present before scanning.
