MCP, MCP server
Hexstrike Ai
HexStrike AI MCP Agents is an advanced MCP server that lets AI agents (Claude, GPT, Copilot, etc.) autonomously run 150+ cybersecurity tools for automated pentesting, vulnerability discovery, bug bounty automation, and security research.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade D
Two or more Medium findings, or a High finding. Only try it in a sandbox.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit d689933ff579, unchanged since the check below.
PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium
Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.
hexstrike_server.py, line 5272
process = subprocess.Popen( - OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium
Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.
Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
