Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

An agentic pentesting MCP server that automates web application penetration testing using the full OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and PortSwigger Web Security Academy technique references.

Point it at a target — it crawls your app, maps every endpoint, then spawns role-specialized agents (Scout, Analyzer, Exploiter, Reporter) to test for XSS, SQLi, SSRF, SSTI, IDOR and more. No false positives — every finding is backed by real, reproducible evidence with quality gates enforcing proof at every phase. Includes 31 PortSwigger technique guides, adaptive WAF evasion for 12 vendors, cross-phase vulnerability chaining, and risk-weighted endpoint prioritization. Run it with Claude Code, the API, or go fully offline using Ollama models.

Think of it as: A senior pentester's methodology encoded into an MCP server — 109 OWASP tests, 31 PortSwigger attack technique guides, 68+ MCP tools, 27 security tools, 4 specialized agent roles, 7 structured phases, automated quality assurance, and a zero-context final review.

What credentials does AutoPentest need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How does AutoPentest run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as autopentest-server.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (3e9280a88fb2), read on 2026-10-06. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
