What is the Shodan MCP Server?

The Shodan MCP Server is a bridge service that connects AI assistants to the Shodan search engine. It allows AI assistants to query information about various devices and services on the Internet through simple commands, including IP address details, network device scans, SSL certificate information, etc.

How to use the Shodan MCP Server?

You can directly send query commands through an AI assistant (such as Claude), or integrate the server into your MCP-compatible application. The server will automatically process Shodan API requests and return easy-to-understand results.

Use cases

Scenarios such as network security analysis, device monitoring, vulnerability research, network asset discovery, and IoT device tracking. It is particularly suitable for professionals and security researchers who need to quickly obtain information about Internet devices.

Main Features

Host Information Query
Obtain detailed technical information about a specific IP address, including open ports, service types, geographical location, etc.
Advanced Search
Use Shodan's powerful search syntax to find specific types of devices and services.
Network Scan
Scan an entire network range (in CIDR notation) to discover active devices and open services.
SSL Certificate Query
Obtain detailed information about the SSL certificate of any domain name, including the issuer, validity period, and fingerprint.
IoT Device Search
Specifically search for specific types of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as cameras, routers, or smart TVs.
Advantages
Simplifies the complex calling process of the Shodan API
Provides structured results for easy understanding and presentation by AI assistants
Supports multiple query methods to meet different needs
Can be easily integrated into the existing AI assistant ecosystem
Limitations
Some advanced features require a paid Shodan API key
Query results are limited by the coverage of the Shodan database
Large-scale scans may take a long time
Device information in some countries/regions may be incomplete

How to Use

Install the Server
Clone the repository and install the necessary dependencies.
Configure the API Key
Set your Shodan API key to enable query functionality.
Start the Server
Build and start the MCP server.
Integrate into an AI Assistant
Add the server to the configuration of your MCP-compatible AI assistant (such as Claude).

Usage Examples

Find Exposed Database Servers
Identify database servers in the organization that may be accidentally exposed to the Internet.
Check SSL Certificate Expiration
Monitor the validity period of SSL certificates for critical domain names to prevent service interruptions due to expired certificates.
IoT Device Inventory
Create an inventory of all IoT devices connected to the company network.
