Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Domain threat checks, a 30-day domain watch, TLS/DNS/email-auth checks and a $2 site audit (x402).

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • validate_target

    Free. Check that a domain or URL is well-formed and get the normalized hostname, before calling a paid check. Offline: no network request, no payment. Rejects IP addresses, single-label names and URLs with credentials.

  • pricing

    Free. Return the price of every paid tool, the payment network (Base) and the receiving address, so you can budget before calling. No input, no network request, no payment.

  • check_cert

    Check the TLS certificate of one hostname: issuer, validity dates, days left, % of lifetime used, renewal cadence and a renewal-stall flag, plus a live HTTPS pass/fail probe. Use it when you only need certificate health; use site_health for cert + DNS + expiry together, or domain

  • check_dns

    Look up the live DNS of a domain: NS, A/AAAA/CNAME, MX, SPF, DMARC, CAA (climbing to the parent zone) and DNSSEC status, with plain-English findings. Use it for a DNS inventory or to debug resolution; use check_email_auth for a deeper SPF/DMARC/DKIM/MTA-STS review. Queries Cloudf

  • check_domain_expiry

    Check when a domain registration expires: registrar, registered and expiry dates, days left, EPP status codes and nameservers, from the registry's RDAP server. Use it for renewal risk on the registered domain (not the certificate; use check_cert for that). Some TLDs publish no RD

  • site_health

    Run check_cert, check_dns and check_domain_expiry together and return their raw results plus a short summary, the renewal-stall flag and the Let's Encrypt 64-day certificate note (from 2027-02-10). Use it for a full data dump in one call; use domain_grade if you want a single sco

  • check_email_auth

    Review the email authentication setup of a domain: SPF validity and DNS-lookup count (limit 10), DMARC policy, pct and reporting, DKIM on common selector names, MTA-STS mode, TLS-RPT and BIMI, with a rough 0-100 score and plain-English fixes. Use it before sending mail from a dom

  • check_security_headers

    Check the HTTP security headers of a website with one live HTTPS GET: redirect chain (up to 5 hops), final status, HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and COOP, with a simple A-F header grade and findings. Use it for web-hardeni

  • domain_grade

    Grade a domain's security posture A-F in one call, for vendor-risk or due-diligence checks. Runs the TLS, DNS (DNSSEC, CAA), registration-expiry, email-auth and HTTP-header checks and returns one letter, a 0-100 score, points per category (TLS 25, email 25, headers 20, DNS 15, re

  • full_site_audit

    Full site audit report for one domain, for client reports, vendor reviews or a pre-launch check. Runs every check (TLS from CT logs + live probe, DNS/DNSSEC/CAA, registration expiry and transfer lock, SPF/DMARC/DKIM/MTA-STS, security headers) plus HTTP->HTTPS redirect, www/apex c

  • threat_check

    Is this domain known-bad? Resolves the hostname (A/AAAA), matches the name, its parent domains and resolved IPv4 against ThreatCluster's high-confidence 30-day IOC feed (cached, refreshed about hourly), and looks up ransomware leak-site claims naming the domain (commercially reus

  • bulk_threat_check

    Check up to 100 domains or IPv4 addresses at once against ThreatCluster's high-confidence 30-day IOC feed; each domain is resolved and its IPv4 matched too. IOC only (no ransomware-claim lookups; use threat_check for one domain). Stale feed returns an error and is not charged. Co

  • expiry_batch

    Certificate and domain-registration expiry for 2 to 5 domains in one call: days left, expiry dates and an ok/warn/expired status per domain, plus the soonest date overall. Certificate dates come from CT logs, registration dates from RDAP. Partial results if some lookups fail; if

  • watch_status

    Free. Status of a paid domain watch (created with HTTP POST /v1/watch): items, expiry, last check, current DNS/IOC/claim state, last webhook delivery. Needs the webhook_secret from creation.

Common questions

Is OrionCMD Checks safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.5.0) reached the registry 21 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
