### Description (declared)

# goose-pentest-mcp

A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) extension for
self-pentest workflows. Exposes six tools to [Goose](https://block.github.io/goose/)
(or any MCP-compatible client) so an LLM can list targets, trigger scans,
read findings, and mark them resolved — all against **your** backend.

The extension is a thin HTTP client. It does not shell out, write files,
or scan anything itself. You supply the backend; it supplies the agent
surface.

## What you need

1. A backend implementing the six endpoints in [`BACKEND_CONTRACT.md`](BACKEND_CONTRACT.md).
2. An API key your backend will accept in `X-Pentest-Key`.
3. Goose (or another MCP client) installed locally.

If you have not built a backend yet, see the **Reference implementation**
section below — there's a working FastAPI one (Apache-2.0) you can read
or adapt.

## Install

```bash
pip install goose-pentest-mcp
# or, if you use uv:
uvx goose-pentest-mcp
```

To install from source (or hack on it):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/turer73/goose-pentest-mcp.git
cd goose-pentest-mcp
pip install -e .
```

## Configure Goose

Edit `~/.config/goose/config.yaml`:

```yaml
extensions:
  pentest:
    type: stdio
    name: pentest
    display_name: "Self-Pentest"
    description: "List targets, trigger scans, manage findings"
    enabled: true
    bundled: false
    timeout: 600
    cmd: python
    args:
      - -m
      - goose_pentest_mcp.server
    env_keys:
      - PENTEST_API_KEY
    envs:
      PENTEST_API_BASE: "https://your-backend.example.com/api/v1/security"
```

Then export the key from your shell rc:

```bash
export PENTEST_API_KEY="$(cat ~/.secrets/pentest-key)"
```

`config.yaml` may end up holding (or revealing the path to) live secrets;
`chmod 600 ~/.config/goose/config.yaml` is the minimum hygiene. If
`restic` / `borg` / `rclone` covers `~/.config/`, those backups carry the
key — rotate after first install if backups already ran.
