# MCP Recon
MCP Recon helps you **discover and catalog MCP-compatible servers** across your infrastructure by scanning defined IP ranges. It’s designed to give you visibility into all MCP endpoints available in your network so Akto can bring them into your security workflow.
***
### ⚙️ Setup
1. Open **Akto Argus Dashboard → Quick Start → MCP Recon**
2. Click **Connect**
3. Enter IP ranges in either format:
* CIDR: `192.168.1.0/24`
* Range: `10.0.0.1-10.0.0.255`
* Multiple ranges: `192.168.1.0/24, 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.255`
4. Click **Discover**
***
### 📊 What You Get
* A **catalog of MCP-compatible servers** found in your specified ranges
* Automatic registration of discovered endpoints in Akto
* Data ready for further scanning with other MCP features (e.g., Import, Proxy Gateway, Wrapper)
