npm install -
Build the project:
npm run build
Configuration
-
Obtain a Shodan API key from Shodan.
-
Configure the MCP server in your MCP settings file (e.g.,
~/.config/mcp/settings.json):{ "mcpServers": { "shodan": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/shodan-mcp-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "SHODAN_API_KEY": "<your_shodan_api_key>" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }Replace
<your_shodan_api_key>with your actual Shodan API key and/path/to/shodan-mcp-serverwith the actual path to the shodan-mcp-server directory.
Usage with Node.js
You can use the MCP server with Node.js using the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk package.
-
Install the MCP SDK:
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk -
Use the
use_mcp_toolfunction to call the tools:import { use_mcp_tool } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk'; async function getIpInfo(ip) { const result = await use_mcp_tool('shodan', 'get_ip_info', { ip }); console.log(result); } getIpInfo('8.8.8.8');
