# Shodan MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Shodan API functionality and CVE database, allowing AI assistants to query information about internet-connected devices, services, and vulnerabilities.

## Features

### Network Intelligence

- **Host Information**: Get detailed information about specific IP addresses
- **Search Capabilities**: Search Shodan's database for devices and services
- **Network Scanning**: Scan network ranges (CIDR notation) for devices
- **SSL Certificate Information**: Get SSL certificate details for domains
- **IoT Device Search**: Find specific types of IoT devices

### Vulnerability Intelligence

- **CVE Lookup**: Get detailed information about specific vulnerabilities
- **Vulnerability Search**: Search CVEs with advanced filters (product, KEV status, EPSS scores)
- **CPE Information**: Get Common Platform Enumeration data for products
- **Latest Vulnerabilities**: Access newest CVEs and Known Exploited Vulnerabilities
- **Exploit Prediction**: Get CVEs sorted by EPSS exploit prediction scores

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:

```bash
   git clone https://github.com/Cyreslab-AI/shodan-mcp-server.git
   cd shodan-mcp-server
   ```

2. Install dependencies:

```bash
   npm install
   ```

3. Build the server:

```bash
   npm run build
   ```

4. Set up your Shodan API key:

```bash
   export SHODAN_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
   ```

5. Start the server:
   ```bash
   npm start
   ```

## MCP Integration

This server can be integrated with Claude or other MCP-compatible AI assistants. To add it to Claude Desktop or Claude.app:

1. Add the server to your MCP settings:

```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "shodan": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/shodan-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "SHODAN_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

2. Restart Claude to load the new MCP server.
