Security Considerations

⚠️ Important Security Warnings

1. Legal Compliance: Only use this tool on systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

2. Authorization: Ensure you have proper authorization before performing any security testing.

3. Environment Isolation: Use in isolated testing environments to prevent unintended access to production systems.

4. Data Protection: Be aware that SQLMap can extract sensitive data from databases.

5. Rate Limiting: Implement appropriate rate limiting to avoid overwhelming target systems.

6. Logging: Monitor and log all activities for audit purposes.

Best Practices

1. Test Environment: Always test in a controlled, isolated environment first.

2. Documentation: Document all testing activities and results.

3. Responsible Disclosure: If vulnerabilities are found, follow responsible disclosure practices.

4. Access Control: Restrict access to this MCP server to authorized personnel only.

5. Monitoring: Implement monitoring to detect unauthorized usage.

Adding New Tools

To add new SQLMap functionality with FastMCP:

1. Add a new function decorated with @app.tool()
2. Define the function parameters with proper type hints
3. Add a docstring describing the tool's purpose
4. Implement the SQLMap command execution logic

Example:

@app.tool()
async def my_new_tool(url: str, param: Optional[str] = None) -> str:
    """Description of what this tool does"""
    args = ["-u", url]
    if param:
        args.extend(["--param", param])
    result = await sqlmap_executor.execute_sqlmap(args)
    return result.output if result.success else f"Error: {result.error}"

Testing

# Test the server
python server.py

# Test with a simple MCP client
# (Use your preferred MCP client to test the tools)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. SQLMap not found: Ensure SQLMap is installed and accessible in your PATH
2. Permission denied: Check file permissions and ensure proper access rights
3. Timeout errors: Increase timeout values for complex scans
4. Connection issues: Verify network connectivity and proxy settings

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging by modifying the server configuration or adding logging statements.
