What is the AynOps MCP server?

Most cloud and infrastructure work still happens through a UI a human drives. AynOps MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. AynOps is a reconnaissance focused MCP Server which gives reconnaissance capabilities to AI Clients.

The short version

AI Clients by default has zero native cybersecurity tooling. No WHOIS. No DNS enumeration. No port scanning. No SSL inspection.

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:

  • headers_analyzer — Analyzes HTTP security headers — checks HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and more with severity ratings and misconfiguration details
  • cve_lookup — Search NVD for known CVEs by software name and version (no API key required)
  • cloud_exposure_check — Checks for publicly accessible AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage buckets using common bucket naming patterns derived from the
  • trace_redirects — Traces the full HTTP redirect chain hop by hop — flags TLS downgrades, private-IP leaks, redirect loops, cross-domain hops, and overly long chains
  • robots_txt_inspect — Fetch and parse robots.txt to reveal hidden directories and sitemaps
  • hibp_check — Check if an email or domain appears in Have I Been Pwned breaches (HIBP_API_KEY required)

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY, HIBP_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of cloud and infrastructure servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. AynOps's toolset — headers_analyzer, cve_lookup, cloud_exposure_check and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by AynOps; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

How to install the AynOps MCP server

**Mac/Linux:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "AynOps": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/AynOps/.venv/bin/python3",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/AynOps/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "HIBP_API_KEY": "your-hibp-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.

Frequently asked questions

It connects AynOps to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (headers_analyzer, cve_lookup, cloud_exposure_check, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with AynOps directly.
