Metasploit MCP Server

The Metasploit MCP Server bridges the gap between advanced language models and the full breadth of the Metasploit Framework. By exposing a rich set of tools—ranging from module discovery to session manipulation—through the Model Context Protocol, it enables AI assistants such as Claude to orchestrate complex penetration‑testing workflows with natural language commands. This eliminates the need for manual CLI interaction, allowing analysts to describe objectives in plain English and let the assistant translate those intents into precise Metasploit actions.

At its core, the server offers a comprehensive exploitation pipeline. Users can query available exploits and payloads, configure options dynamically, and trigger execution while optionally performing pre‑checks. Once a session is established, the assistant can interact with it—running arbitrary commands or deploying post‑exploitation modules—directly from the conversational interface. The payload generator further streamlines operations by creating and storing executable payloads on disk, ready for deployment or distribution.

Beyond attack execution, the server provides robust session and handler management. It lists active sessions with detailed metadata, allows command injection into shells or Meterpreter environments, and supports clean termination of any session. Listener management is equally powerful: users can enumerate existing handlers, spawn new multi/handler jobs, or terminate background tasks—all through simple tool calls. This level of control is invaluable for dynamic testing environments where rapid iteration and cleanup are essential.

Integration with AI workflows is straightforward. The MCP server supports both HTTP/SSE for broad client compatibility and STDIO for direct pipe connections, such as those used by Claude Desktop. By configuring transport options or embedding the server in a client’s configuration file, developers can seamlessly embed Metasploit capabilities into existing AI pipelines. The result is a unified interface where high‑level security objectives are translated into concrete actions, reducing cognitive load and accelerating testing cycles.

Unique to this implementation is its focus on safety and configurability. Environment variables allow fine‑grained control over RPC credentials, server addresses, and payload storage locations, ensuring that the tool can be deployed securely in isolated test labs or controlled production environments. The clear separation of concerns—module discovery, exploitation, session handling, and listener management—provides a modular architecture that developers can extend or integrate with other MCP servers. Overall, the Metasploit MCP Server empowers security professionals to leverage AI for rapid, repeatable, and auditable penetration testing without sacrificing the depth of control offered by the underlying Metasploit Framework.
