@turbopentest/mcp-server

MCP server for TurboPentest — launch AI-powered penetration tests, review vulnerability findings, and generate security reports, all without leaving your coding assistant.

What it does

Ask your AI assistant to run a pentest, check progress, and walk you through remediation — the server handles all the API calls. Every completed scan is anchored to the blockchain, giving you a tamper-proof attestation you can share with customers or auditors.

Quick start

1. Get your API key

Sign up and create an API key at turbopentest.com/settings/api-keys.

2. Verify a domain

Before scanning, verify that you own the target domain at turbopentest.com/domains.

3. Add the server to your MCP client

Claude Code (.mcp.json in your project root):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "turbopentest": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@turbopentest/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TURBOPENTEST_API_KEY": "tp_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "turbopentest": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@turbopentest/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TURBOPENTEST_API_KEY": "tp_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (Settings > MCP Servers > Add):

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["@turbopentest/mcp-server"],
  "env": {
    "TURBOPENTEST_API_KEY": "tp_live_..."
  }
}

OpenAI Codex CLI (~/.codex/config.toml, or run codex mcp add turbopentest -- npx @turbopentest/mcp-server and set the env var when prompted):

[mcp_servers.turbopentest]
command = "npx"
args = ["@turbopentest/mcp-server"]

[mcp_servers.turbopentest.env]
TURBOPENTEST_API_KEY = "tp_live_..."

Then run /mcp inside Codex to confirm turbopentest is listed. Codex's MCP client doesn't support the "prompts" primitive, so the four guided workflows are also exposed as plain tools (turbopentest_workflow_*, see below) and described in this repo's AGENTS.md, which Codex reads automatically.

Example session

You:    "Run a standard pentest on staging.example.com"
Claude: Checks domain is verified, confirms credit balance,
        calls start_pentest → "Started tp_abc123, 4 agents, ~1 hour"

You:    "Any findings yet?"
Claude: Calls get_pentest → "62% complete — 3 findings (1 high, 2 medium)"

You:    "Show me the high severity ones"
Claude: Calls get_findings(severity: "high") →
        [1] HIGH: SQL Injection in /api/search
            CVSS: 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
            CWE: CWE-89
            PoC: POST /api/search?q=' OR 1=1--
            Remediation: Use parameterized queries...
            Retest: sqlmap -u "https://staging.example.com/api/search" ...

You:    "Give me a prioritized remediation plan"
Claude: Uses the analyze_findings prompt → produces a full markdown
        remediation plan grouped by severity and effort

White-box scanning

Pass a GitHub repository URL to start_pentest to enable white-box mode. In addition to black-box testing, the scan will include:

• SAST — static code analysis for common vulnerability patterns
• Secret detection — leaked API keys, credentials, and tokens in source
• SCA — dependency audit for known CVEs

You:  "Pentest staging.example.com, the repo is github.com/myorg/myapp"

Tools

Security note: turbopentest_start_pentest checks domain verification itself before calling the API — it will refuse (isError: true) to launch against a target whose domain isn't verified on your account, rather than relying solely on the agent to check first.

Prompts

Built-in prompts guide your AI assistant through multi-step workflows. Invoke them by name in any MCP client that supports prompts (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor). In clients that only support tools (Codex), use the matching turbopentest_workflow_* tool above instead — the text is identical.

Scan tiers

Default tier is standard. Use recon for a quick surface sweep or blitz for maximum coverage on critical assets.

Blockchain attestation

Every completed pentest is anchored on-chain as a tamper-proof attestation. The SHA-256 hash is included in the report and can be independently verified — by you, your customers, or auditors — with no API key required:

You:  "Verify attestation abc123def456..."

turbopentest_verify_attestation returns the scan metadata (tier, agents, duration, risk score, findings summary) alongside the blockchain proof (chain ID, transaction hash, block number, merkle root).

Configuration

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• A TurboPentest account with at least one verified domain

Using with OpenAI Codex

See docs/CODEX.md for the full Codex guide — configuration, the tool list, the authorization model, and why the guided workflows are exposed as turbopentest_workflow_* tools instead of MCP prompts.
