Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP Shodan?

MCP server for querying the Shodan API and Shodan CVEDB. This server provides tools for IP lookups, device searches, DNS lookups, vulnerability queries, CPE lookups, and more.

Is MCP Shodan safe to use?

We cannot tell you that, and nobody scanning at this scale can. What we did in March 2026 was shallow-clone MCP Shodan and run five keyword searches over its source: auth identifiers, CORS configuration, rate-limit identifiers, the dependency manifest against a hardcoded list of 18 known-vulnerable packages, and unguarded eval/exec calls. None of them matched. A text search cannot follow a variable, judge intent, or tell you what a server does once it is running, so "nothing matched" is not "safe". What the scan does and does not cover is written out at /mcp/security.

What are alternatives to MCP Shodan?

Similar MCP servers include GhidraMCP, Ida Pro MCP, Beelzebub. Each serves a similar purpose but may differ in features, language, and compatibility.
