hacktricks-mcp

MCP server that gives AI agents fast, offline full-text search and section-level retrieval over the HackTricks offensive-security wiki.

Unlike grep-based alternatives, this server ships with a pre-built SQLite FTS5 search index (1,000+ pages) inside the package. No install-time clone, no ripgrep dependency, no network access at query time. A GitHub Action re-syncs the index with upstream every 3 days and commits it back to this repo.

Quick start

Requirements: Node.js 22.13 or newer (uses the built-in node:sqlite, zero native dependencies).

Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add hacktricks -- npx -y @zebbern/hacktricks-mcp

Codex CLI:

bash
codex mcp add hacktricks -- npx -y @zebbern/hacktricks-mcp

Any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Kimi, etc.), config JSON:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hacktricks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@zebbern/hacktricks-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

As a plugin (bundles the agent skill that teaches efficient usage): this repo is a valid plugin for Claude Code (.claude-plugin/), Codex (.codex-plugin/) and Kimi (kimi-plugin/). Add it from your client's plugin marketplace flow pointing at zebbern/hacktricks-mcp, or for Kimi Work use this plugin link.

Then ask things like:

  • "Search HackTricks for kerberoast and give me the attack commands"
  • "How do I escalate privileges from the lxd group?"
  • "Show me the SSRF section of the pentesting-web pages"

Documentation

Security and legal

  • The server executes nothing from the wiki; it is a read-only search interface. All queries are parameterized, and user input is escaped before query construction.
  • HackTricks content is offensive-security reference material. Use it only on systems you are authorized to test.
  • Content belongs to HackTricks / Carlos Polop and contributors; this repo contains derived index data plus original server code (MIT).
