Professional pentest MCP server with stdio + Streamable HTTP transports, bundled MCP Inspector launcher, bearer auth, SoW-aware reporting, and modern tooling across sniffing/finding/bruteforce/cracking/priv-esc/extraction workflows. Exposed over MCP by the pentest mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Professional penetration-testing MCP server with modern transport/auth support and expanded recon tooling.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
nmapScan — runJohnTheRipperrunHashcat — gobusternikto — subfinderEnumhttpxProbe — ffufScannucleiScan — trafficCapturehydraBruteforce — privEscAuditextractionSweep — generateWordlistlistEngagementRecords — getEngagementRecordcreateClientReport — cancelScanYou will need 6 environment variables: MCP_SERVER_HOST, MCP_OIDC_JWKS_URL, MCP_OIDC_INTROSPECTION_URL, MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, MCP_OAUTH_PROVIDER_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Pentest's toolset — nmapScan, runHashcat, nikto and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by dmontgomery40; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
