Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Website safety and trust analysis. Verify domain reputation and detect phishing with GridinSoft.

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 on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY

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

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

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

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inspector": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add inspector --env GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @gridinsoft/mcp-inspector

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": {
    "inspector": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY": "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": {
    "inspector": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY": "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 one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Values you fill in

  • GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY secret required env
    API key from inspector.gridinsoft.com/profile (100 free credits on signup)

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

Common questions

Is Inspector safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.7) reached the registry 15 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector

A Model Context Protocol server for domain reputation and URL analysis, powered by GridinSoft Inspector.

Requirements

  • Node.js 22 or newer, with npm/npx available to your MCP host.
  • A GridinSoft Inspector API key from your profile.

The npm package runs locally over stdio and calls the Inspector REST API over HTTPS. https://inspector.gridinsoft.com/mcp is the documentation page; /mcp/v1 is the REST bridge used by this package. Neither URL is a native remote MCP Streamable HTTP or SSE endpoint.

Connect an MCP client

Add this entry to your client's MCP server configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "gridinsoft": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector"], "env": { "GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

Use the configuration location and command transport supported by your MCP host. If it cannot find npx, supply the absolute path to your Node.js installation's npx executable.

URL scans may take up to 90 seconds. Where your client supports it, set its MCP request timeout to at least 120 seconds. The adapter's HTTP timeout defaults to 110 seconds and can be configured with GRIDINSOFT_TIMEOUT_MS (a positive integer in milliseconds). The adapter does not automatically retry requests, because a submitted scan may have already consumed credits. After a timeout, check the Inspector dashboard before submitting it again.

Tools

ToolInputPurposeCredits

get_balance{}Remaining credits and subscription statusFree

An Unknown verdict means no assessment is available; it does not mean the target is safe. Tool execution errors return isError: true, with an explanation in content. Discovery or prompt/resource failures surface as MCP errors.

Prompts and resources

  • check-website-safety requires the site argument (a URL or domain).
  • verify-domain-trust requires the domain argument.
  • gs://guide/threat-categories describes the security and content categories. A content category alone does not establish malware or fraud.

Example prompt arguments:

{

"name": "check-website-safety", "arguments": { "site": "https://example.com" } }

Command-line use

With GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY set in your environment:

npx -y @gridinsoft/mcp-inspector check example.com

npx -y @gridinsoft/mcp-inspector inspect example.com npx -y @gridinsoft/mcp-inspector scan https://example.com/login npx -y @gridinsoft/mcp-inspector --help

Commands print the JSON tool result and exit with a nonzero status on failure. Running without arguments starts the stdio MCP server when launched by a client.

Plans

New accounts receive 100 free API credits per month. See the Inspector dashboard for current plans and pricing.

Development

npm ci

npm test npm run build npm pack --dry-run

The tests cover MCP initialization, discovery, prompt argument forwarding, resources, tool aliases, authentication errors, HTTP failures, cancellation, timeouts, stdio framing, and CLI exit codes. An additional backend integration fixture can be run against an Inspector checkout with Composer dependencies installed:

INSPECTOR_TEST_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/inspector node --test test/php-integration.cjs

This fixture starts a temporary localhost PHP server, uses the real MCP routes/controller, and makes only public or unauthenticated requests. It does not load the application's environment file or perform paid scans.
