MCP server for searching Exploit-DB using searchsploit

MCP Exploit-DB Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides access to the Exploit-DB database using the searchsploit command-line tool. This allows AI assistants like Claude to search for and retrieve exploit information directly.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• searchsploit command-line tool (from exploitdb package)

Installing searchsploit

On Kali Linux / Debian-based systems:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install exploitdb

On macOS with Homebrew:

brew install exploitdb

Installation on Claude Code and Desktop

1. Clone or download the repository:

claude mcp add --transport stdio exploitdb -- venv/bin/python exploit_db/server.py

After updating the configuration claude_desktop_config.json, restart Claude Desktop (see sample file in the repo).
