HackTricks

You can run the HackTricks MCP Server to search and query HackTricks pentesting documentation directly from Claude. This MCP server exposes focused lookup, organized results, and quick access to relevant sections and code blocks, helping you get actionable information fast while keeping token usage efficient.

How to use

Use an MCP client to connect to the HackTricks MCP Server. You can perform quick lookups for common techniques, browse results grouped by file, and read specific sections or code blocks. Practical usage patterns include starting with a category-filtered search, inspecting the page outline to identify relevant sections, extracting a targeted section to minimize tokens, and pulling a cheatsheet with only commands or code.

Typical workflows you can perform:

• Search for SQL injection techniques and review the top results to identify exploitable patterns.
• Look for SUID or privilege escalation topics and identify practical commands from the relevant pages.
