Nmap MCP Integration

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Perform automated network reconnaissance and identify open ports and services across target hosts.

• 2

  Discover subdomains and run DNS brute-force to enumerate an organization's attack surface.

• 3

  Perform stealthy scans (FIN/Idle) or ARP-based LAN discovery as part of automated penetration testing workflows.

Description

NmapMCP integrates the Nmap scanning tool with the Model Context Protocol so agents can run a wide range of network scans programmatically. It supports top-ports, DNS brute force, list scans, OS and version detection, FIN/Idle/SYN/UDP scans, ARP discovery, and options to disable DNS resolution. Configuration is provided via a claude_desktop_config.json and it can be installed locally or via Smithery for Claude Desktop integration. This enables automated reconnaissance, inventory, and vulnerability discovery workflows inside MCP-enabled environments.
