Perplexity

Run Nmap Online scans from your chat

Trigger `nmap_scan` or `ping_host` without leaving your desktop environment. Your AI client executes the command locally, returning real-time port status and latency metrics directly into your thread. Stop guessing about firewall rules. Use `get_http_headers` to inspect response codes and headers for any live endpoint you are investigating.

Map network topology with Claude Desktop

Visualize your network path using `traceroute` to identify where connections hang. You get the hop-by-hop breakdown of your packets, making it obvious where the bottleneck lives. Need more context? Invoke `whois_lookup` and `geoip_lookup` to verify ownership and physical location of suspicious IPs instantly.

Perform automated DNS reconnaissance

Query `dns_lookup` and `reverse_dns` to confirm host records during your security review. This MCP Server gives you the raw data needed to validate your domain configurations accurately. Discover hidden entry points using `list_subdomains` to expand your scope. Then, feed those results into `get_page_links` to crawl for exposed assets.

Common questions about Nmap Online MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your local config file at the path specified in your settings. Add the server under the mcpServers key, define the command, and restart the app to see the hammer icon appear.

No. This MCP Server transmits your network data directly to the tool and back to the agent. We do not persist your scan results or target IP addresses on our backend.

Yes, provided the machine running the client has network access to those internal targets. The tools will route requests through your local interface just like any other terminal command.

Results reflect the output of the underlying binary. You receive the exact data returned by the network probes without any filtering or modification by the server.

Your queries stay within the local process lifecycle. We use standard authentication tokens to verify your session, ensuring only your authorized agent can initiate network discovery.
