How to use PentAGI: what you can do with it

What is PentAGI? PentAGI is an open-source, self-hosted multi-agent system for autonomous penetration testing, for authorized testing only. You describe a target and goal in plain language; specialized agents plan the work, run 20+ tools such as nmap, Metasploit and sqlmap inside an isolated Docker sandbox, keep what they learn in PostgreSQL with pgvector, and produce a report. It works with 10+ cloud LLM providers or local models through Ollama or vLLM, and has REST and GraphQL APIs.

How do I use it? Install with the interactive installer (Docker Compose); then configure an LLM provider; log in to the web UI and start a flow with the target and goal in plain language. Full steps below.

  1. Check you have what it needs: Docker and Docker Compose (an interactive installer sets it up on Linux, macOS or Windows); An LLM provider key or a local model via Ollama or vLLM; Written authorization to test every target.
  2. Open vxcontrol/pentagi on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install with the interactive installer (Docker Compose)
  4. Configure an LLM provider
  5. Log in to the web UI and start a flow with the target and goal in plain language
  6. Watch agents run tools such as nmap and sqlmap in the Docker sandbox

These steps come from our top use case, Run an authorized pentest with a team of AI agents, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
