Overview

mcp-recon is a conversational reconnaissance interface and MCP server that bridges the gap between natural language and HTTP infrastructure analysis. It allows users to perform web domain reconnaissance via any compatible AI interface, such as Claude Desktop, using simple text prompts. The tool offers multiple analysis modes, including lightweight and full reconnaissance levels, as well as standalone ASN lookup capabilities. It is powered by httpx and asnmap, and includes predefined prompts for streamlined operations. mcp-recon is Docker-ready for secure and portable deployment. mcp-recon's key functionality includes executing reconnaissance through text prompts, integrating with MCP-compatible tools, and providing multiple analysis modes. The tool can be used for various tasks, such as quickly scanning websites for basic information, performing comprehensive metadata collection, and looking up IP, ASN, or organization information. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to interact with external tools, systems, and data sources. mcp-recon utilizes MCP prompts, which are predefined templates that guide AI assistants in performing specific tasks. mcp-recon is suitable for users who need to integrate reconnaissance capabilities into their AI workflows, particularly those using Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible tools. The tool's strengths include its conversational interface, flexibility in analysis modes, and Docker-ready deployment. However, its limitations include potential dependencies on httpx and asnmap, and the need for MCP-compatible AI interfaces.
