What the publisher says
From the Pentest repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@cyanheads/pentest-mcp-server Offline methodology engine and payload workshop for authorized penetration testing, CTF, security research, and education via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. 7 Tools
Public Hosted Server: https://pentest.caseyjhand.com/mcp
Authorized use only. This server is designed for penetration testers, red teamers, CTF players, security researchers, and students working on systems they own or have explicit written authorization to test. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their testing is lawful and appropriately scoped. Unauthorized access to computer systems is illegal — this server does not and cannot enforce authorization on your behalf.
Dual-audience design. Every offensive technique is paired with detection indicators and mitigations. Blue teamers, developers, and anyone building detection coverage will find the methodology and ATT&CK data as useful as the red team workflows.
Overview
Offline penetration-testing methodology engine: MITRE ATT&CK techniques and threat groups, OWASP Testing Guide methodology, and annotated payload templates for authorized penetration testing, CTF, and security research. Generate a phased testing playbook, map techniques to a target profile, analyze HTTP responses for leakage, and generate or encode payload templates from any MCP client. Runs as a stdio process, a local Streamable HTTP server, or the public hosted endpoint above.
