Tools

ToolDescription
shodan_hostWhat's exposed on IP — open ports, services, and CVEs. Returns the full Shodan host profile: ports, hostnames, org/ISP, geolocation, OS, known vulnerabilities, and a per-service banner sample. Example: shodan_host({ ip: "8.8.8.8", _apiKey: "your-key" })
shodan_host_searchSearch Shodan for hosts matching using Shodan search syntax (e.g. "apache country:US", "port:22 org:"Google""). Returns matching hosts with IP, port, org, hostnames, product, and location. Example: shodan_host_search({ query: "apache country:US", _apiKey: "your-key" })
shodan_host_countCount hosts matching with facet breakdown (free — this endpoint does not consume query credits). Returns the total match count plus optional facet aggregations (e.g. top countries, orgs, ports). Example: shodan_host_count({ query: "apache", facets: "country:10", _apiKey: "your-key" })

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shodan": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/shodan/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Shodan data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
