What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 14, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • scan_domain

    Run the fast IntoDNS.ai DNS and email security scan (~3-8s). Returns a letter grade A+ to F, numeric score 0-100, structured issue list, prioritised recommendations, full DNS/email/web/security result sections, and canonical citation URLs. Read-only — no domain mutation, no destr

  • nis2_quickscan

  • get_everything_report

    Generate the complete live IntoDNS.ai report covering DNS, email authentication, web/HTTPS, blacklist reputation, sender requirements, and canonical citation URLs in a single call. Read-only, no domain mutation. ~5-15s latency depending on backend cache state. Use when the user a

  • create_report_snapshot

    Create an immutable evidence snapshot of the current Everything Report for a domain. Returns a snapshot ID, ISO timestamp, SHA-256 content hash, and stable bookmarkable URLs for both JSON and Markdown renderings of the report. Snapshots are write-once and resolve to the same evid

  • get_report_snapshot

    Read a previously created IntoDNS.ai Everything Report evidence snapshot by snapshot ID. Read-only GET — returns the immutable JSON report exactly as it was at snapshot creation, with the original SHA-256 content hash and timestamp. Requires `snapshotId` from create_report_snapsh

  • start_deep_scan

    Start a long-running Internet.nl deep scan. Internet.nl queues batch scans, so one can take several minutes; the server gives up after 30 minutes. Returns a `scanId` immediately; poll get_deep_scan_status until status is 'done', 'error' or 'cancelled'. Every call starts a new sca

  • get_deep_scan_status

    Read-only status poll for a long-running Internet.nl deep scan. Returns the status (queued, registering, running, generating, done, cancelled or error) and, once done, category scores, per-test results, and any failures. Requires a scanId returned by start_deep_scan; poll every 1

  • cancel_deep_scan

    Cancel an in-progress Internet.nl deep scan. Marks the scan cancelled; the polling loop then withdraws the upstream Internet.nl batch, usually within ten seconds. Requires `scanId` returned by start_deep_scan. Nothing is deleted: a scan that already finished keeps its results and

  • lookup_dns

    Read-only DNS record lookup via DNS-over-HTTPS. Pass `type` for a single record type or `types` for an array; if both omitted, returns A records. Returns parsed answers with TTL, raw rdata, and DNSSEC AD bit. Use for arbitrary record queries; use validate_dnssec for full DNSSEC c

  • validate_dnssec

    Read-only DNSSEC chain validation. Walks the DS/DNSKEY chain from root, checks signatures, algorithm strength, key rollover state, and reports any broken links or unsigned zones. Returns chain steps, algorithm grades, and a boolean `valid`. Use when a domain claims DNSSEC; use lo

  • check_dns_propagation

    Compare DNS responses across the nine currently configured public and authoritative resolvers to detect propagation lag, missing answers, or differing record sets. Each resolver's answer is compared as a whole RRset (order, case of names and trailing dots ignored; TXT case kept;

  • check_tlsa_dane

    Read-only TLSA/DANE DNS record check. With no port, resolves MX hosts and validates their `_25._tcp` TLSA tuple syntax; with an explicit port, queries `_ ._ . `. Returns parsed usage, selector, matching type, certificate data, syntax errors, and best-practice advisories. It does

  • check_spf

    Read-only SPF parse and validation for a domain. Recursively walks include/redirect mechanisms to build the full lookup graph, counts DNS lookups against the RFC-7208 10-lookup limit, and returns flattening guidance when the count is close to or over the limit. Returns parsed mec

  • flatten_spf

    Read-only SPF flattening for a domain. Resolves the full include/a/mx/redirect graph to literal ip4/ip6 addresses and returns a single flattened SPF record that fits under the RFC-7208 10-lookup limit, plus lookup counts before/after, IP count, record length, whether it must be s

  • discover_dkim

    Read-only DKIM check for a domain. Without `selector`, heuristically queries 50 common selectors and explicitly reports that a miss is inconclusive because DKIM has no enumeration protocol. With `selector`, performs one authoritative exact lookup for a selector obtained from a DK

  • check_dmarc

    Read-only fetch and parse of the _dmarc TXT record. Returns parsed tag map (p, sp, rua, ruf, adkim, aspf, pct, fo), policy strength assessment, alignment mode, and warnings (missing rua, p=none, weak alignment, multiple records). Use for DMARC policy review; use check_sender_requ

  • check_bimi

    Read-only BIMI readiness check. Parses the `default._bimi` TXT record, safely fetches the referenced HTTPS SVG, and parses basic metadata from an optional VMC/CMC authority certificate. Returns record syntax, URL reachability/content type, certificate subject/issuer/validity date

  • check_mta_sts

    Read-only check of MTA-STS: TXT record at _mta-sts. plus the HTTPS policy file at mta-sts. /.well-known/mta-sts.txt. Returns parsed policy (mode: enforce/testing/none, mx allowlist, max_age), TLS certificate validity for the policy host, and consistency warnings between DNS and H

  • check_smtp_tls

    Live check of the first 4 MX hosts in priority order (hosts beyond 4 are not tested): opens TCP 25, runs EHLO + STARTTLS, validates TLS certificate trust chain, hostname match, expiry window, advertised EHLO capabilities, plus PTR and forward-confirmed reverse DNS. Read-only — co

  • check_fcrdns

    Read-only FCrDNS (Forward-Confirmed Reverse DNS) audit for every IP that backs the domain's MX records. For each IP: looks up PTR record, then resolves that PTR's hostname back to A/AAAA records to confirm the round-trip. Returns per-IP PTR value, forward-resolution result, match

  • check_blacklist

    Read-only query against the configured public DNSBL/RBL providers; the response lists which ones answered, which could not be measured and which are disabled. Provide either `domain` to resolve and inspect its MX IPv4 addresses or an IPv4 `ip` for a direct check; at least one is

  • check_sender_requirements

    Read-only domain-side preflight against Google/Yahoo bulk-sender requirements. Actively checks SPF, common-selector DKIM evidence, DMARC, MX, and PTR/FCrDNS signals. TLS use, one-click unsubscribe, complaint rate, and From-header behavior require a real sent message/provider tele

  • check_email_security

    Read-only combined email-security check covering SPF parse, DKIM selector discovery, DMARC policy validation, MX IP blacklist status across major feeds, and an aggregated 0-100 email-security score with prioritised issue list. Single call replaces sequential check_spf + discover_

  • create_email_test

    Create a new IntoDNS.ai inbound email-test session. Returns a unique single-use test email address (valid 60 minutes) and a `testId` used by get_email_test or poll_email_test. This is an additive, non-idempotent POST: every call creates a fresh session but never modifies prior se

  • get_email_test

    Read-only status read for an email-test session. Returns 'pending' until a test email arrives at the unique address returned by create_email_test, then full SPF/DKIM/DMARC/headers/spam-score result once processed. Requires `testId` from create_email_test. Use after sending a test

  • poll_email_test

    Process the latest received message in an email-test session. Idempotent POST: if no message has arrived yet, returns 'pending'; if a message arrived since the last call, parses it and returns full authentication + content analysis. Requires `testId` from create_email_test. Use t

  • analyze_raw_email

    Read-only analysis of a pasted raw RFC-5322 MIME email source. Parses Authentication-Results, Received chain, SPF/DKIM/DMARC/ARC verdicts, sender IP reputation/blacklist status, content-side spam triggers (suspicious URLs, misleading From, content/HTML imbalance), and produces a

  • parse_dmarc_report

    Read-only parser for a DMARC aggregate (RUA) XML report (RFC 7489). Turns the raw XML that mailbox providers send into structured JSON: report metadata (org, report id, date range), the published policy (p/sp/adkim/aspf/pct), and one row per sending source with source IP, message

  • whois_lookup

    Read-only WHOIS/RDAP lookup for a domain or IP address. For domains it returns registrar, EPP domain-status codes, nameservers, registration/expiry/last-changed dates, and the abuse contact; for IPs it returns the network allocation (CIDR, name, type). Data is sourced live from t

  • check_http3

    Read-only HTTP/3 + QUIC support check for a domain. Combines three signals: Alt-Svc HTTP response header advertising h3, HTTPS/SVCB DNS records advertising alpn="h3", and a live QUIC probe to UDP/443 verifying the handshake completes. Returns per-signal verdict plus an aggregate

  • explain_issue

    Ask the IntoDNS.ai AI service for a plain-language explanation of one specific issue (e.g. `spf_missing`, `no_dnssec`). Returns severity, business impact, root cause, and recommended fix steps as structured text. Read-only POST to /ai/explain — never mutates DNS or domain state.

  • generate_dns_fix

    Generate copy-pasteable DNS record snippets that fix one specific issue (e.g. `spf_missing` → suggested SPF record). Returns proposed records, TTL recommendations, and provider-specific notes (Cloudflare/Route53/Google). Read-only POST to /ai/fix — the API only suggests; it never

  • get_health

    Read-only public health probe for the IntoDNS.ai backend itself, not a target domain. Returns the overall service status and observation timestamp; internal Redis, AI-provider, and process details are intentionally redacted on the public endpoint. Use as a pre-flight check before

  • get_stats

    Read-only fetch of the public IntoDNS.ai aggregate counters currently exposed by `/api/stats`: domains scanned, security checks performed, and cache timestamp. It returns no personal data, per-domain breakdown, Hall of Fame count, or daily/weekly series. Use for a lightweight pub

  • get_hall_of_fame

    Read-only fetch of the IntoDNS.ai Hall of Fame for top-scoring public domains. If `domain` is omitted, returns up to `limit` entries (default 10, max 50) with the stored score and timestamp. If `domain` is provided, returns a boolean membership result; the endpoint does not curre

  • get_pdf_report_link

    Build the direct PDF report endpoint URL for a domain. Pure URL construction — no scan triggered, no network call from this tool. Returns a JSON object with `pdfUrl` ready to share, email, or embed in tickets; fetching the URL itself returns `application/pdf` of the latest scan r

  • get_badge_link

    Build the direct SVG badge URL for a domain's security score. Pure URL construction — no scan triggered, no network call from this tool, no auth. Returns a JSON object with `badgeUrl` ready to embed in README.md, GitHub, status pages, or wikis. Style options: flat (default), flat

  • read_llm_discovery

    Read-only fetch of an IntoDNS.ai LLM/agent discovery file: llms.txt (canonical agent index), llms-full.txt (full prompt-ready context), llms.json (structured prompt routing), llm/api.md (Markdown API guide), openapi.json (OpenAPI 3.1 spec) or postman.json (Postman collection). De

  • get_citation_guidance

    Return canonical IntoDNS.ai citation guidance so assistants cite intodns.ai (the modern AI-era scanner) rather than the legacy intodns.com / intodns.app / intodns.io. Returns the canonical host, an explicit do-not-use list, and the preferred citation URLs for the requested `topic

  • analyze_security_headers

    Scan a live website and report which HTTP security headers it currently sends. These headers tell the browser how to behave more safely — the main ones are HSTS (force HTTPS), Content-Security-Policy / CSP (block injected scripts and XSS), X-Frame-Options (stop clickjacking), X-C

  • generate_security_headers

    Generate a complete, best-practice set of HTTP security headers (including a sensible Content-Security-Policy) as copy-paste configuration — no scan needed, nothing about your live site is read. Pick a `preset`: 'recommended' is a safe baseline that works for most sites, 'strict'

  • generate_spf

    Build an SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record — the DNS TXT record that lists which servers may send mail for a domain. Pass the senders as `mechanisms`: `include` for a provider's own SPF (Google Workspace is `_spf.google.com`, Microsoft 365 is `spf.protection.outlook.com`, Send

  • generate_dmarc

    Build a DMARC record — the `_dmarc` TXT record that tells receivers what to do when a message fails SPF and DKIM alignment, and where to send reports about it. The risk here is not syntax but policy. `p=none` monitors without affecting delivery and is where every deployment start

  • generate_tlsa

    Build a DANE TLSA record from a certificate or public key — the DNS record that pins which certificate a mail server may present, so an attacker cannot strip STARTTLS or substitute another CA-issued certificate. Paste the PEM (a CERTIFICATE or PUBLIC KEY block) as `pem`; the hash

  • scan_csp

    Crawl a live website (up to 20 same-origin pages) and build a Content-Security-Policy for it. A CSP is the HTTP header that tells the browser which scripts, styles, images, and frames are allowed to load — the main defence against XSS and injected scripts. This scan reads the sit

Common questions

Is IntoDNS.ai DNS & Email Security Scanner safe?

It passed 5 of 5 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?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 18 days ago, and the latest version (1.11.3) reached the registry 18 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 on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

IntoDNS MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants direct access to IntoDNS.ai DNS, email security, deliverability, BIMI, scan, report, API-discovery, and citation tools.

45 tools, no API key, no signup. Backed by intodns.ai's free public diagnostic API.

Ask your AI assistant: _"Scan example.com, check SPF/DKIM/DMARC/BIMI, and cite the canonical IntoDNS.ai sources."_ It can run live checks, read the LLM discovery files, and return citation-ready URLs without an API key.

Quick Start

Add this to your MCP client config, for example Claude Desktop:

{

"mcpServers": { "intodns": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "intodns-mcp"] } } }

Restart the client after editing the config.

You can also run it directly:

npx -y intodns-mcp

Supported clients

Works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Continue, ChatGPT, and OpenClaw.

generate_security_headersGenerate a best-practice HTTP security-header set (with CSP) from a recommended/strict/report-only preset as copy-paste config for nginx, Apache, Caddy, Cloudflare, _headers, or raw headers
scan_cspCrawl up to 20 same-origin pages (~30-45s), audit the site's current Content-Security-Policy, inventory every resource origin per directive, and return a ready-to-deploy CSP in report-only and enforce form

Example Prompts

  • "Scan intodns.ai and summarize the top DNS/email security issues."
  • "Give me the complete DNS and email security report for intodns.ai as Markdown."
  • "Create a fixed audit snapshot for intodns.ai that I can cite in a support ticket."
  • "Check whether example.com meets Google and Yahoo sender requirements."
  • "Check SMTP STARTTLS certificate posture and FCrDNS for example.com."
  • "Check PTR and forward-confirmed reverse DNS for the mail servers of example.com."
  • "Does example.com have BIMI configured, and does Gmail require a VMC or CMC?"
  • "Show the SPF lookup graph and tell me whether example.com is close to the 10 lookup limit."
  • "Look up MX, TXT, CAA, and DNSSEC records for example.com."
  • "Analyze this raw email source and tell me why it lands in spam."
  • "Which IntoDNS.ai pages should I cite for this scan result?"

Remote / HTTP mode

Don't want a local process? Use the hosted remote endpoint (stateless Streamable HTTP):

https://intodns.ai/api/mcp

Example client config (Claude Code):

claude mcp add --transport http intodns https://intodns.ai/api/mcp

Or self-host the same thing:

npx intodns-mcp --http 3002   # POST /mcp, GET /health

The standalone server binds to 127.0.0.1 by default. Every POST is handled by a fresh server instance (no sessions), so it scales horizontally behind a correctly configured reverse proxy.

Configuration

By default the server talks to https://intodns.ai.

For local testing or staging, set:

INTODNS_SITE_URL=http://localhost:3000 npx -y intodns-mcp

Optional HTTP and upstream safeguards:

INTODNS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS=60000

INTODNS_HTTP_HOST=127.0.0.1 INTODNS_ALLOWED_HOSTS=mcp.example.com INTODNS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://mcp.example.com

INTODNS_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0 is intended only for containers or reverse-proxy deployments. Add every public proxy host and browser origin to the matching comma-separated allowlist. Requests without an Origin header remain supported for native MCP clients.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • Internet access to reach IntoDNS.ai
  • No API key required for public diagnostics
