MCP server for performing network scanning using NMAP
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Nmap MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. MCP server for performing network scanning using NMAP.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to perform network scanning operations using NMAP. This server provides a standardized interface for AI models to interact with NMAP, making it possible to perform network analysis and security assessments through AI conversations.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by PhialsBasement; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Nmap's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
