### Description (declared)

# DryHack-MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives an AI agent offensive-security
tooling for **authorized** penetration testing. It exposes four tools:

| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `curl` | Raw HTTP interaction for web recon/exploitation |
| `python` | Run ad-hoc Python snippets for scripted probing |
| `shell` | Run shell commands (`nmap`, `ffuf`, `nc`, `sqlmap`, …) |
| `browser` | Full Playwright browser automation: navigation, DOM interaction, JavaScript injection, screenshots/PDF, cookies/headers, multi-step chains |
| `authorize` | Checks target membership in the per-call `scope` parameter; does not verify permission (no external API, no creds) |

> ⚠️ **Legal notice.** Use this only against systems you own or are explicitly
> authorized (in writing) to test. You are responsible for staying within scope.

## Install

```bash
python3 -m pip install .
```

This installs the `dryhack-mcp` console script (the MCP server).

### Run without installing (uvx)

With [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) you can run the server directly from PyPI
— no manual install needed:

```bash
# recommended: pull the browser extra so the `browser` tool is guaranteed
uvx --from 'dryhack-mcp[browser]' dryhack-mcp
# http transport
uvx --from 'dryhack-mcp[browser]' dryhack-mcp --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
# pin a version
uvx --from 'dryhack-mcp[browser]==2.3.2' dryhack-mcp
```

> `uvx dryhack-mcp` (without `--from`) also works — Playwright is a core
> dependency — but the explicit `--from 'dryhack-mcp[browser]'` form is the
> recommended, unambiguous way to get everything the `browser` tool needs even
> if a stale cache is involved.

For development:

```bash
python3 -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

### Browser tool (Playwright)

Playwright is a **core dependency**, so a plain `pip install dryhack-mcp` /
`uvx dryhack-mcp` already ships it. For MCP clients using uvx, the recommended,
unambiguous invocation is:

```bash
uvx --from 'dryhack-mcp[browser]…
