Shodan MCP — wraps the full Shodan REST API (api.shodan.io)
MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Shodan MCP — wraps the full Shodan REST API (api.shodan.io).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Once MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
shodan_host — What's exposed on IP — open ports, services, and CVEs. Returns the full Shodan host profile: ports, hostnames, org/ISP, geolocation, OS, knownshodan_host_search — Search Shodan for hosts matching using Shodan search syntax (e.g. "apache country:US", "port:22 org:"Google""). Returns matching hosts withshodan_host_count — Count hosts matching with facet breakdown (free — this endpoint does not consume query credits). Returns the total match count plus optionalSetup 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.
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. MCP's toolset — shodan_host, shodan_host_search, shodan_host_count — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mojibake-ai; 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.
