**Authorization-gated penetration testing for AI agents.** 80 tools for recon,
vulnerability scanning, web app testing, exploitation, CTF challenges and
reporting — that install into **any MCP-capable agent**: Claude Code, Claude
Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, Zed, OpenCode, Continue.

records the client's written authorization and the exact in-scope targets. The
gate lives in code, not in a prompt, so no conversation can talk the plugin into
testing something it is not allowed to test.
