Common questions

Is Idig Dns safe?

It passed 0 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 8 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 9 months 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 Business and above.

What can I use instead?

iDig DNS MCP Server

A remote MCP server exposing 19 professional DNS diagnostic tools from the iDig API — built by Kedar Bhave ( Softricks ).

Connect any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) to real DNS infrastructure. Diagnose outages, audit email security, validate DNSSEC, check SSL certificates, trace propagation across 16 global resolvers, and more — all in plain English.

Live endpoint: https://mcp.softricks.net/sse


Quickstart

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "idig-dns": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.softricks.net/sse" ] } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see idig-dns appear under Connectors.

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings:

{

"mcpServers": { "idig-dns": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.softricks.net/sse" ] } } }

Authentication

All tools require a token parameter. Get your token at api.softricks.net/idig/docs.
