Discovers devices on your local network, identifies manufacturers, flags potential security concerns, and exports to Obsidian inventory format.\n\n## Why Use This?\n\nIf you're managing a home or small office network, this MCP server lets you:\n\n- **Discover all devices** - Find everything connected to your network via ARP table scanning\n- **Identify manufacturers** - Automatic MAC address to manufacturer lookup\n- **Flag security concerns** - Identify unknown or potentially risky devices (IoT from certain regions, etc.)\n- **Track changes** - Detect new or removed devices between scans\n- **Document your network** - Export to markdown for Obsidian or other documentation systems\n\n## Features\n\n| Category | Capabilities |\n|----------|-------------|\n| **Discovery** | ARP-based network scanning, ping sweep for comprehensive discovery |\n| **Identification** | MAC address manufacturer lookup, device categorization |\n| **Security** | Flag unknown devices, identify potential IoT risks |\n| **Change Detection** | Compare scans, track new/removed devices |\n| **Export** | Markdown and JSON formats, Obsidian-compatible inventory |\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js 18+\n- macOS or Linux (uses `arp` command)\n- Network access to local subnet\n\n## Installation\n\n### Using npm (Recommended)\n\n```bash\nnpx mcp-homescan\n```\n\nOr install globally:\n\n```bash\nnpm install -g mcp-homescan\n```\n\n### From Source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/aplaceforallmystuff/mcp-homescan.git\ncd mcp-homescan\nnpm install\nnpm run build\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\n### For Claude Desktop\n\nAdd to your Claude Desktop config file:\n\n**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`\n**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json`\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"homescan\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"mcp-homescan\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"HOMESCAN_SUBNET\": \"192.168.1\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### For Claude Code\n\nAdd to `~/.claude.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"homescan\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"mcp-homescan\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"HOMESCAN_SUBNET\": \"192.168.1\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Environment Variables\n\n| Variable | Description | Default |\n|----------|-------------|---------|\n| `HOMESCAN_SUBNET` | Network subnet to scan (e.g., `192.168.1`) | `192.168.1` |\n| `SHODAN_API_KEY` | Optional Shodan API key for vulnerability lookups | - |\n\n## Usage Examples\n\n### Network Discovery\n\u003e \"Scan my home network for devices\"\n\n\u003e \"What devices are on my network?\"\n\n\u003e \"Refresh the network scan and show all devices\"\n\n### Device Investigation\n\u003e \"What's the device at 192.168.1.34?\"\n\n\u003e \"Look up the manufacturer for MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff\"\n\n### Security Review\n\u003e \"Show me any flagged devices on my network\"\n\n\u003e \"Are there any unknown devices I should investigate?\"\n\n### Change Tracking\n\u003e \"Have any new devices appeared since the last scan?\"\n\n\u003e \"Show me what's changed on my network\"\n\n### Documentation\n\u003e \"Export my network inventory to markdown\"\n\n\u003e \"Generate a network report\"\n\n## Available Tools\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| `homescan_discover` | Discover all devices on the local network |\n| `homescan_device` | Get details for a specific device by IP |\n| `homescan_mac_lookup` | Look up manufacturer from MAC address |\n| `homescan_report` | Generate comprehensive network discovery report |\n| `homescan_export` | Export devices to markdown or JSON format |\n| `homescan_diff` | Compare current scan to previous, show changes |\n| `homescan_flagged` | List devices flagged for security review |\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\n# Watch mode for development\nnpm run watch\n\n# Build TypeScript\nnpm run build\n\n# Run locally\nnode dist/index.js\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### \"No devices found\"\nEnsure you're on the same network segment and the subnet is configured correctly. Try running with `refresh: true` to perform a ping sweep first.\n\n### \"Permission denied\" errors\nThe ARP table may require elevated permissions on some systems. Try running with `sudo` if needed.\n\n### Devices missing from scan\nSome devices may not respond to ARP queries. Use `homescan_discover` with `refresh: true` to ping sweep the network first.\n\n### Wrong subnet\nCheck your network configuration and update `HOMESCAN_SUBNET` to match your local network (common values: `192.168.1`, `192.168.0`, `10.0.0`).\n\n## Security Notes\n\n- This tool only scans your local network\n- No data is sent externally (unless Shodan API is configured)\n- Flagged devices are recommendations only - verify before taking action\n\n## Roadmap\n\n- [ ] Shodan integration for CVE lookups\n- [ ] Pi-hole DNS query correlation\n- [ ] Port scanning (nmap-lite)\n- [ ] Baseline storage and alerting\n- [ ] Router DHCP lease integration\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
