Run a managed pentest of a web app, API, repository, or local workspace on the app.strix.ai platform with the `strix cloud` CLI or REST API — no local Docker or LLM key needed. Safely review and upload local source, register assets, launch and poll scans, triage vulnerabilities, export SARIF, download compliance reports, start PR reviews, buy credits, and set up schedules or webhooks. Use for managed, continuous, scheduled, team-tracked, or sandboxed-agent security testing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Strix Cloud (managed, no local infra) Use this when you want Strix's autonomous pentesting **without running Docker or an LLM yourself** — the scan runs on Strix's infrastructure and results are tracked in a team dashboard. This is the right choice in sandboxed/hosted agent and CI environments, for teams, and for scheduled/continuous testing (downloadable PDF/DOCX reports are an Enterprise-plan feature). For fully local, free, air-gapped, or BYO-LLM runs, use the open-source CLI in the **penetration-testing-with-strix** skill instead — both share the same engine and SARIF output, so you can mix them. There are two equivalent interfaces. Prefer the CLI: - **`strix cloud` CLI** — every REST operation has a command in the form `strix cloud <resource> <verb>`. Install with `curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash`. Run `strix cloud` to list all resources and `strix cloud <resource> help` (or `-h`) to list a resource's verbs; a bare resource with a safe read operation runs its documented default. …

How to install
mdr add usestrix/strix/managed-pentesting-with-strix@sha256:45e1432ea897e59eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.3de9471, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
