An MCP server configuration for recon, a tool that gathers information about internet domains and their related services. MCP lets an AI coding assistant call such external tools.

Use it when configuring a local recon integration for domain-information and DNS-related investigations.

It supplies the command needed to start recon locally and make its functions available to the assistant.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/blisspixel/recon

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `recon` has to be on your PATH already, or the server will not start.

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install recon, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 MCP server.

Security

Grade A, and why

recon scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
