Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Is it DNS? Audit a site or domain that isn't working: one call says if it resolves and why. No key.

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.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

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.

  • check_domain

    Check a domain that is not working: whether the name resolves in public DNS, then the eleven-check audit of its zone, each row ok, warn, fail or skipped with why. DNS only, not HTTP or TLS, and not for one record: dig. Measured from the isitdns edge and its probes, never the call

  • dig

    Dig one name and type at one board resolver, or at Cloudflare, Google, Quad9 and AdGuard side by side (resolver all): records, flags, rcode, EDE, latency. Not for a whole domain: check_domain. Asked over DoH from the isitdns edge. from moves the question to that region's probe as

  • trace

    Trace a delegation from the root to the authority, like dig +trace: each referral and its glue, the one server that answered at each zone cut and any dial that failed, the final answer and its TTLs. Not for every server of a zone: sweep_domain. Each hop is asked with RD=0 over TC

  • dnssec_chain

    Walk the DNSSEC chain from the root to one answer: DS and DNSKEY at each signed zone cut, key tags, signers, signature windows, the first link that breaks or goes insecure, and whether the zone where it goes insecure is itself signed (an island of security). Not for one signed re

  • sweep_domain

    Sweep a zone's nameservers: the same names and types asked at a sample of its authoritative addresses, reporting disagreements, lame or silent servers, serial and TTL differences, the CAA in effect, and each _acme-challenge TXT or CNAME. Not for a public resolver's answer: dig. A

  • registration

    Read a domain's registration from its registry's RDAP server: each status with what it means for resolution, the registration, expiry and change dates, the nameservers, whether the delegation is signed. Not for what DNS answers: check_domain. Read over HTTPS from the isitdns edge

Common questions

Is isitdns 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 (2026-10-25) reached the registry 13 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?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP
