MCP Integration

This server can be integrated with Claude or other MCP-compatible AI assistants. To add it to Claude Desktop or Claude.app:

1. Add the server to your MCP settings:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "shodan": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/shodan-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "SHODAN_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
         }
       }
     }
   }

2. Restart Claude to load the new MCP server.
