A complete bug bounty framework. Battle-tested hunting methodology with concrete payloads, 7-Question Gate validation, autonomous hunt loops, A→B exploit chain building, persistent brain with endpoint tracking, optional semantic writeup search (bring your own index), automatic cost tracking via CC hooks, live platform integration, and a cross-IDE installer that emits the native format for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot.

Quick Start

# MCP servers are launched via `uv run --with mcp` — no global pip install required.
export HACKERONE_USERNAME=you HACKERONE_TOKEN=your_token
uv run python3 tools/scaffold.py hackerone tesla --type web-app
cd ~/bounties/hackerone-tesla && claude
/model opus             # Opus 4.6 [1M] — subagents inherit via model: "inherit"
/sync hackerone tesla
/brain init && /status
/hunt tesla.com

Install (Claude Code + 6 other AI coding tools)

pentest-agents ships a cross-IDE installer that emits each target's native format — agents, skills, commands, rules, and MCP configuration — so the same framework works everywhere.

# From a clone:
python3 -m tools.installer install --targets all --scope project

PyPI distribution is WIP. uv build produces a working wheel, but the installed CLI currently resolves source files relative to a repo clone layout (.claude/agents, .claude/skills, skills/, rules/, rules/payloads.md, mcp-*-server/). Running via pipx install / uvx pentest-agents will execute but install an empty manifest. Until this is fixed, run the installer from a clone.

Target	Agents	Commands	Rules	MCP	Scopes
Claude Code	native .claude/agents/*.md	.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md	CLAUDE.md	.mcp.json / ~/.claude.json	global + project
OpenAI Codex	native .codex/agents/*.toml	.codex/commands/*.md	AGENTS.md	[mcp_servers.*] in config.toml	global + project
Google Gemini	native .gemini/agents/*.md	TOML in .gemini/commands/	GEMINI.md	mcpServers in settings.json	global + project
Cursor	→ Skills	→ Skills	.cursor/rules/*.mdc + AGENTS.md	.cursor/mcp.json	global + project
Windsurf	→ Skills	Workflows	.windsurf/rules/*.md (≤12K / file)	~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json	global + project
VS Code Copilot	.github/agents/*.agent.md	.github/prompts/*.prompt.md	.github/copilot-instructions.md + .github/instructions/*	.vscode/mcp.json	project + global-MCP
OpenClaw	→ Skills	→ Skills	~/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md or <proj>/AGENTS.md	mcp.servers in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json	global + project (skills/rules only; MCP is user-level)

Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenClaw have no native subagent concept, so Claude-format agents are rendered as Skills for those three (the closest analogue). Every target's rule digest is a single canonical AGENTS.md-compatible file when supported.

OpenClaw specifics (verified against docs.openclaw.ai, April 2026): skills install into ~/.openclaw/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (global) or <project>/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (project — AgentSkills convention). MCP is always wired into the user-level ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under mcp.servers.*; project-scope installs emit a warning reminding you to run --scope global once if you need the MCP servers.

Management:

pentest-agents list                      # detect which targets are installed
pentest-agents install --targets claude_code,codex --scope global
pentest-agents install --dry-run         # preview every file + JSON merge
pentest-agents verify                    # check manifest vs. disk (drift)
pentest-agents uninstall                 # reverse, restore .pa-backup files

Every install records a manifest (.pentest-agents/manifest.json for project scope, ~/.config/pentest-agents/manifest.json for global). Uninstall only removes files we wrote and surgically strips only the MCP/JSON keys we merged — your other settings are never touched. Conflicting writes back up the original as <path>.pa-backup and are restored on uninstall.

Workflow

New program:   /new → /sync → /brain init → /analyze → /surface → /hunt
Returning:     /resume <target> → /hunt or /autopilot
After finding: /validate → /chain → /report → /dupcheck → /submit → /learn
Batch triage:  /triage (7-Question Gate on all findings)

MCP Servers (2)

bounty-platforms (16 platforms)

HackerOne (full API), Bugcrowd, Intigriti, Immunefi (public), YesWeHack + 11 stubs. 7 MCP tools: list_platforms, get_program_scope, get_program_policy, search_hacktivity, sync_program, draft_report, submit_report.

writeup-search (BYO index)

Searchable knowledge base agents query during hunting and validation. 4 MCP tools:

• search_writeups — semantic search (FAISS) or keyword search for prior art
• get_writeup — full writeup content by ID
• search_techniques — exploitation techniques by vuln class
• search_payloads — curated payloads from rules/payloads.md

The writeup index is not bundled. Bulk-redistributing scraped hacktivity violates most platform ToS, so this repo ships the server only. The search_payloads + search_techniques fallback works out of the box; the semantic/keyword layers activate once you point the server at your own index.

Three search modes (auto-detected, graceful fallback):

Mode	Requires	Searches
FAISS (semantic)	faiss-cpu, sentence-transformers, your metadata.db + index.faiss	Your writeup corpus via vector embeddings
SQLite (keyword)	Your metadata.db only	Your writeup corpus via LIKE over the text column
Local (default)	Nothing — zero deps	rules/payloads.md + skills/ shipped in this repo

Point the server at your index by dropping metadata.db (+ optionally index.faiss) into ~/.local/share/pentest-writeups/, or set WRITEUP_DB_DIR=/path/to/dir.

Expected schema (metadata.db): a SQLite file with at least one table containing columns id, title, url, and one text column (content / text / body / writeup). Row order in the table must match vector order in index.faiss when using semantic mode.

Build your own index — rag-builder/

The repo now ships a local RAG/FAISS builder under rag-builder/ that turns a list of GitHub / GitLab repositories into a metadata.db + index.faiss pair the writeup-search MCP server consumes. Destructive operations (clone, embed, write) are always gated behind --execute — running the CLI without it prints the plan and changes nothing, so you can never wipe an existing index by accident.

cd rag-builder

# 1. Inspect the plan — no network, no writes.
python3 build.py status
python3 build.py ingest                    # dry-run (the default)

# 2. Opt-in pre-flight: probe every URL with `git ls-remote` (network).
python3 build.py ingest --check-remotes    # ~5s for 141 repos at 16 workers

# 3. Actually clone + index every repo from repos.yaml into ./data/.
python3 build.py ingest --execute
python3 build.py ingest --execute --check-remotes   # skip unreachable first

# 4. Point the MCP server at the output.
export WRITEUP_DB_DIR="$PWD/data"
python3 ../mcp-writeup-server/server.py --test

rag-builder/repos.yaml ships with a 146-entry seed covering CTF archives, bug-bounty reports, payload collections, and research aggregators — edit freely. repos-skipped.yaml is loaded automatically as an exclusion list (override with --skip-list or --no-skip-list). config.yaml controls the embedding model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2 by default), host allowlist, clone size cap, and file-size ceiling. See rag-builder/README.md for the full reference.

CC Hooks (automatic cost tracking)

Configured in settings.json, fires automatically:

• SubagentStop → cost_hook.py logs agent name + session to cost-tracking.json
• Stop → logs session end
• SessionStart → welcome message

Statusline shows live cost from session token data: $0.57

Key Features

• Writeup search MCP: Agents query prior art during hunting — bring your own FAISS/SQLite writeup index, or fall back to the shipped payload/technique library
• CC hooks: SubagentStop/Stop auto-log costs, statusline shows live $X.XX from token data
• PreToolUse scope hook: Bash commands are matched (exact + wildcard) against scope.yaml; out-of-scope targets are blocked before the tool call fires
• 7-Question Gate: Every finding validated — first NO = KILL
• Depth Engine: /autopilot enforces an anti-shallow protocol — no claim of "exhausted" until the exhaustion matrix is complete
• Stacked-encoding mandate: /hunt and /autopilot require multi-layer encoding in every payload attempt before declaring a surface clean
• CVSS policy guard: HackerOne findings use CVSS 3.1; every other platform uses CVSS 4.0 — enforced by cvss_version_guard.py
• Circuit breaker: 5× consecutive 403/429 → auto-backoff 60s
• Endpoint tracking: Brain records every endpoint tested per target
• Hard validation gates: /report and /submit refuse without /validate PASS
• Never-submit filter: Pipeline auto-kills informational findings
• Incremental sync: Global brain hash-based, skips unchanged files
• Feedback loop: /learn auto-boosts paid techniques globally
• Session journal: JSONL log for /resume continuity

Requirements

• Python 3.10+, uv (MCP servers launch via uv run --with mcp)
• Optional: uv pip install faiss-cpu sentence-transformers (for writeup semantic search)
• Security tools: nmap, httpx, subfinder, nuclei, ffuf, katana, sqlmap
• GraphQL hunter tools: graphql-path-enum — cargo install --git https://gitlab.com/dee-see/graphql-path-enum (auto-installed by setup-mcp.sh if cargo is present)
• Evidence: grim/scrot, wf-recorder/ffmpeg
• jq (for statusline)
