MCP Guide

T3MP3ST includes a Model Context Protocol stdio server in src/mcp-server.ts.

Start The Server

From a development checkout:

npm run mcp

From a built package:

npm run build
npm run mcp:prod

Exposed Tool

Tool Purpose
security_recon Runs quick DNS and nmap reconnaissance against a hostname or IP

Input schema:

{
  "target": "example.com",
  "scan_type": "quick"
}

scan_type may be quick, standard, full, or stealth.

Safety And Validation

The MCP server validates the target before it reaches a subprocess:

  • Target must be a hostname or IP-like value matching [A-Za-z0-9._:-]
  • Shell metacharacters, spaces, pipes, and command separators are rejected
  • Subprocesses use execFile, not a shell
  • Executable names are restricted to an allowlist

The current security_recon implementation calls:

  • dig +short <target> ANY
  • nmap with scan arguments selected by scan_type

Only use this tool against systems inside your authorized scope.

Example MCP Tool Call

{
  "name": "security_recon",
  "arguments": {
    "target": "scanme.nmap.org",
    "scan_type": "quick"
  }
}

The response is JSON text containing DNS records, nmap output, command summaries, and suggested next steps.
