Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Free live DNS, SPF/DMARC/MX, DKIM and WHOIS lookups for any domain. No key needed to start.

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: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

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

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http dnsai-free https://mcp.dnsai.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dnsai-free": {
      "url": "https://mcp.dnsai.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "dnsai-free": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.dnsai.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

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

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret HTTP header
    Optional: 'Bearer dk_free_...' free key for 100 lookups/day (the server's request_api_key tool emails one)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • dns_lookup

    Look up live DNS records for ONE domain. The default "common" view queries the standard set (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CNAME, CAA and more) plus a DNSSEC signed/unsigned verdict; types it did not query are listed in not_queried — request those explicitly (e.g. type="DNSKEY") to

  • email_security_check

    One call answers "is this domain's email properly secured?" — checks MX, SPF, DMARC and mail-gateway/provider detection for ONE domain. The differentiator vs a plain DNS resolver. Use when the user asks about email deliverability, spoofing protection, SPF/DMARC posture, or "is em

  • whois_lookup

    WHOIS / RDAP registration data for ONE domain or IP — registrar, status, creation/expiry, name servers. Returns publicly published WHOIS/RDAP data as-is. Use for "who owns", "when does it expire", "registrar", "when was it registered". One target per call.

  • spf_analyze

    Analyze a domain's SPF record for ONE domain — the include tree and the RFC 10-DNS-lookup-limit verdict. Use only when the question is specifically about SPF (include tree, lookup count, the `all` qualifier). For an overall "is email secure" grade, use email_security_check instea

  • dmarc_check

    Fetch and parse the DMARC policy for ONE domain — presence, p= policy, and the raw record. Use for DMARC-only questions ("does this domain have DMARC", "is it p=reject/quarantine/none"). For full email posture (SPF + DMARC + MX, graded), use email_security_check instead. One doma

  • validate

    Validate the SYNTAX of an SPF or DMARC record string (no DNS lookup) — returns valid/invalid, a score, a letter grade, and a parsed breakdown. Use when the user pastes an SPF/DMARC record and asks "is this correct?".

  • dkim_discover

    Discover the DKIM signing keys published for ONE domain. Returns the signing keys found, the mail providers they map to, and their selectors. Use when the user asks about DKIM, signing keys, or "does this domain sign its mail?". Note: a domain can publish DKIM under a private sel

  • blacklist_check

    Check whether ONE domain or IP is listed on major email blacklists / RBLs (Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, SORBS, UCEPROTECT and more). For a domain, checks the domain itself, its website (A-record) IP AND its mail-server (MX) IPs — each verdict names the IP and role it applies to,

  • search

    Search DNSai for a domain. Returns result items (id, title, url) covering that domain's DNS records, email-security posture, DMARC policy and WHOIS — pass a result id to fetch for the full data.

  • fetch

    Fetch a DNSai result document by id (from search). Runs the lookup and returns the data plus a summary.

  • request_api_key

    Get a FREE DNSai API key that raises the daily limit from the small shared anonymous allowance to 100 lookups/day. Pass the user's email; they receive a verification link and, once clicked, the key — no password, no signup. Call this AS SOON AS the user provides an email address,

Common questions

Is DNSai Free DNS Tools 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 5 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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Systemdox
