ZoomEye MCP server
by zoomeye-ai
Lets your AI look up internet-connected devices and websites using ZoomEye search.
This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to ZoomEye, a search engine for internet-connected devices and websites. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI in plain words what is out there online, and it will run the search for you. It is handy for people who need quick answers about servers, devices, and websites without learning ZoomEye's own search language.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to ZoomEye, so it can search ZoomEye's database of internet assets when you ask. You do not need to understand how it works under the hood; you just talk to your AI like normal.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question about internet-connected devices or websites, like which servers run a certain piece of software. Your AI sends that request to this helper program. The helper turns your question into a ZoomEye search, sends it to ZoomEye, and waits for the answer. ZoomEye sends back a list of matching assets with details like IP addresses, ports, and locations. Your AI then shows you those results in the chat, often as a tidy list or summary.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Search for devices or websites that use a specific product or software
- Look up what services are running on a given IP address or port
- Find websites by words in their title, headers, or page content
- Filter results by country, city, or organisation
- Ask for only the fields you care about, like IP, port, and country
- Page through large result sets a bit at a time
Try asking your AI
- “Find servers running Apache Tomcat and show me the first 20 with their IPs and countries”
- “What services are exposed on this IP address 1.1.1.1”
- “Show me websites in Germany whose title contains the word bank”
- “List devices running OpenSSH and give me their ports and locations”
What it gives back to you
You get back a list of matching internet assets, each with details like IP address, port, service, country, and sometimes page titles or banners. Your AI usually turns that into a short summary or a table in the chat. If you asked for specific fields, only those appear. You can also see how many total matches exist, so you know if there are more to look at.
Before you start
What you need
- A ZoomEye account at zoomeye.ai
- A ZoomEye API key from your account profile (a kind of password for apps)
- An AI assistant that supports MCP, like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Zed
- Python 3.10 or newer, or Docker, depending on how you run it
Good to know
ZoomEye search results come from scanning the public internet, so treat them as sensitive and do not use them to probe or access systems you do not own or have permission to test.
Install it with your AI
Add ZoomEye MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed
You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.
Sign in to get the install prompt
Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check ZoomEye MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
Who it's for
Security analysts, IT staff, and anyone curious about what devices and websites are visible on the internet.
