From the README

# pentestMCP: AI-Powered Penetration Testing via MCP

**pentestMCP provides a powerful bridge between Large Language Models (LLMs) and practical penetration testing tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This project functions as an MCP Server, exposing a curated suite of over 20 standard security assessment utilities (Nmap, Nuclei, ZAP, SQLMap, etc.) as callable 'tools'. This allows AI agents within MCP-compatible clients (like Claude Desktop or specific VS Code setups) to leverage these utilities for automated and interactive security analysis tasks.**

The goal is to enable natural language control over complex security workflows, making pentesting capabilities more accessible and integrated into AI-driven environments. This work is inspired by [Laurie Kirk](https://github.com/LaurieWired/)'s [GhidraMCP](https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP).
