Common questions

Is Probeops MCP Server 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: PROBEOPS_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 (1.2.3) 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. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

ProbeOps MCP Server

MCP server for running infrastructure diagnostics from 6 global regions. SSL checks, DNS lookups, ping, whois, port checks, traceroute, latency tests, and more — each executed simultaneously from US East, US West, EU Central, Canada, India, and Australia.

Works instantly — no API key required. Run npx @probeops/mcp-server and get 11 diagnostic tools with 10 free calls per day. Add an API key to unlock all 21 tools, 6 regions, and higher limits.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any Model Context Protocol compatible client.

Quick Start

Option 1: Try It Now (No API Key)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add probeops -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server

Codex:

codex mcp add probeops -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline (add to .mcp.json or your client's MCP config):

"mcpServers": { "probeops": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"] } } }

That's it. You get 11 tools with 10 calls per day and 2 probe regions — no signup, no configuration.

Option 2: Full Access (Free API Key)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add probeops -e PROBEOPS_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server

Codex (add to ~/.codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.probeops]

command = "npx" args = ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"]

[mcp_servers.probeops.env] PROBEOPS_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline:

"mcpServers": { "probeops": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"], "env": { "PROBEOPS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Demo Mode vs Full Access

	Demo Mode (no key)	Free Tier (with key)	Professional
Tools	11	21	21
Calls per day	10	100	5,000
Regions per call	2	4	6
Geo-proxy browsing	—	3 hours/day	10 hours/day
Setup time	0 min	2 min	2 min

What You Get

21 infrastructure diagnostic tools, each running from up to 6 regions simultaneously. Plus geo-proxy browsing and account management.

Every diagnostic tool call returns per-region results and a quota footer showing remaining usage.

Diagnostic Tools (14)

Tool	What it does	Example input
`ssl_check`	SSL/TLS certificate validity, expiry, issuer, TLS version, SANs, cross-region consistency	`{ "domain": "example.com" }`
`dns_lookup`	DNS record lookup (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA, PTR) with multi-region propagation check	`{ "domain": "example.com", "record_type": "MX" }`
`is_it_down`	Website up/down/partial status from multiple regions	`{ "url": "https://example.com" }`
`latency_test`	HTTP latency (TTFB) from multiple regions, returns min/avg/max	`{ "target": "example.com" }`
`traceroute`	Network path tracing with per-hop latency. TCP, UDP, or ICMP	`{ "target": "example.com", "protocol": "tcp" }`
`port_check`	Port open/closed/filtered check from multiple regions	`{ "target": "example.com", "port": 443 }`

DNS Shortcuts

These call dns_lookup with a preset record_type so you don't have to remember record type names:

Tool	Equivalent to
`mx_lookup`	`dns_lookup` with `record_type: "MX"`
`txt_lookup`	`dns_lookup` with `record_type: "TXT"`
`ns_lookup`	`dns_lookup` with `record_type: "NS"`
`cname_lookup`	`dns_lookup` with `record_type: "CNAME"`
`caa_lookup`	`dns_lookup` with `record_type: "CAA"`

Geo-Proxy Browsing

Tool	What it does	Example input
`get_geo_proxy`	Get proxy credentials for a region. Use with Playwright or any HTTPS proxy client	`{ "region": "eu-central" }`
`geo_browse`	Browse a URL from a region using a real browser. Returns page content and/or screenshot	`{ "url": "https://example.com", "region": "ap-south" }`

Account

Tool	What it does
`account_status`	Current quota usage (minute/hour/day/month), subscription tier, active proxy token

Resources

URI	Description
`probeops://regions`	Probe regions with location, country, and node count
`probeops://proxy-regions`	Geo-proxy regions with FQDNs and proxy URLs
`probeops://usage`	Current API usage, remaining quota, active token status

Global Regions

All diagnostic tools run from these 6 regions simultaneously:

Region Code	Location	Country
`us-east`	Ashburn, Virginia	United States
`us-west`	Boardman, Oregon	United States
`eu-central`	Helsinki	Finland
`ca-central`	Montreal	Canada
`ap-south`	Mumbai	India
`ap-southeast`	Sydney	Australia

Geo-Proxy Token Management

The server manages proxy tokens automatically:

Token State	Action	Quota Cost
> 5 min remaining	Reuse cached token	0
0-5 min remaining	Auto-extend +1 hour	1 unit
Expired or no token	Generate new token	1 unit

A single token works across all 6 regions. Switching regions does not consume quota.
Daily quota = total hours of proxy browsing per day.
Quota resets at midnight UTC.

Development

git clone https://github.com/kumarprobeops/probeops-mcp-server.git

cd probeops-mcp-server npm install npm run build

Test locally:

PROBEOPS_API_KEY=your-key node dist/index.js

Requirements

Node.js >= 18.0.0
Playwright (optional) - only needed for geo_browse screenshots

  npx playwright install chromium

Without Playwright, geo_browse falls back to HTTP fetch (raw HTML, no screenshots).

FAQ

Q: How is this different from running `curl` or `dig` locally? Every check runs from 6 global regions simultaneously. You see DNS propagation, latency, and availability from the perspective of real users worldwide, not your local network.

Q: Do I need to install anything besides Node.js? No. npx -y @probeops/mcp-server handles everything. Playwright is optional (only for geo_browse screenshots).

Q: Can I use this in CI/CD pipelines? Yes. Set PROBEOPS_API_KEY as an environment variable and call the MCP server from any MCP-compatible tool.

Q: Is the API key sent securely? Yes. All communication uses HTTPS. The key is sent via the X-API-Key header, never in URLs or logs.
