Summary
Connects Claude to the Shodan API for programmatic access to internet-connected device data. You get the full range of Shodan operations: host lookups, database searches with cursor support, alert management, network scanning, exploit archive queries, and saved query browsing. Requires a Shodan API key. Reach for this when you need Claude to investigate exposed services, assess internet-facing infrastructure, or pull vulnerability intelligence during security assessments. The comprehensive tool set means you can go from broad searches to specific host enumeration without switching contexts.
Keeps your Mac awake while Claude Code, Codex or Cursor works. Lets it sleep when they are done.
