## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability shodan-open-port-intelligence-mcp-03cfd74f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check Shodan for open ports and exposed services on the IP address 93.184.216.34 — I want to know what's publicly visible on that host.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, passive network intelligence about a host's open ports and exposed services without active scanning. Ideal for security researchers, SOC analysts, or pen testers who want Shodan's indexed data on a specific IP or hostname without running their own active reconnaissance.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private IP address returns no results
- Shodan has no indexed data for the queried host
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the underlying Shodan API
- Malformed query string causes processing error
- Timeout if Shodan API is slow to respond

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns structured network intelligence data from Shodan including open ports, service banners, protocols, hostnames, and any detected vulnerabilities or CVEs associated with the queried IP or host.
