Usage Guide
Basic Usage
Once the server is running, you can interact with it through your AI assistant or development environment. Here's how to use it:
- Start the server using one of the installation methods above
- Configure your AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed, etc.) to use the server
- Query network information using natural language

Search Syntax Guide
- Search Scope covers devices (IPv4, IPv6) and websites (domains).
- When entering a search string, the system will match keywords in "global" mode, including content from various protocols such as HTTP, SSH, FTP, etc. (e.g., HTTP/HTTPS protocol headers, body, SSL, title, and other protocol banners).
- Search strings are case-insensitive and will be segmented for matching (the search results page provides a " segmentation" test feature). When using == for search, it enforces exact case-sensitive matching with strict syntax.
- Please use quotes for search strings (e.g., "Cisco System" or 'Cisco System'). If the search string contains quotes, use the escape character, e.g.,"a"b". If the search string contains parentheses, use the escape character, e.g., portinfo().
You can see more detailed search syntax rules in prompts.py.
For more information on the ZoomEye Search API, refer to the ZoomEye API v2 documentation.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
-
ZoomEye API Key
- Register for an account at ZoomEye
- Obtain your API key from your account settings
- The API key will be used to authenticate your requests to the ZoomEye API
-
Python Environment
- Python 3.10 or higher is required
- Alternatively, you can use Docker to run the server without installing Python
Installation
Using PIP
Alternatively, you can install mcp-server-zoomeye via pip:
pip install mcp-server-zoomeye
After installation, you can run it as a script using the following command:
python -m mcp_server_zoomeye
Using Docker
You can also run the ZoomEye MCP server using Docker:
Pull from Docker Hub
# Pull the latest image
docker pull zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:latest
# Run the container with your API key
docker run -i --rm -e ZOOMEYE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:latest
Note: We provide multi-architecture Docker images that support
linux/amd64andlinux/arm64platforms and can run on Intel/AMD and ARM (such as Apple Silicon) processors.
Build from Source
Alternatively, you can build the Docker image from source:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zoomeye-ai/mcp_zoomeye.git
cd mcp_zoomeye
# Build the Docker image
docker build -t zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:local .
# Run the container
docker run -i --rm -e ZOOMEYE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:local
Using uv
uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver written in Rust. It's a modern alternative to pip that offers significant performance improvements.
Installation of uv
# Install uv using curl (macOS/Linux)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Or using PowerShell (Windows)
irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex
# Or using Homebrew (macOS)
brew install uv
Using uvx to run mcp-server-zoomeye
No specific installation is required when using uvx, which allows you to run Python packages directly:
Installing with uv
Alternatively, you can install the package using uv:
# Install in the current environment
uv pip install mcp-server-zoomeye
# Or create and install in a new virtual environment
uv venv
uv pip install mcp-server-zoomeye
Configuration
Environment Variables
The ZoomEye MCP server requires the following environment variable:
ZOOMEYE_API_KEY: Your ZoomEye API key for authentication
You can set this environment variable in several ways:
-
Export in your shell session:
export ZOOMEYE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here" -
Pass directly when running the container (for Docker):
docker run -i --rm -e ZOOMEYE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:latest
