Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.
Values you fill in
DNSFILTER_BASE_URLenvOptional: DNSFilter API base URL (default https://api.dnsfilter.com).- DNSFilter API token (bare token, no Bearer prefix), from Account Settings, API Tokens.
DNSFILTER_USER_AGENTenvOptional: override the User-Agent the CLI sends.DNSFILTER_MCP_READ_ONLYenvOptional: set to 1 so the MCP server offers DNSFilter reads only, without secret-bearing reads.DNSFILTER_NO_LOCAL_DATAenvOptional. Set to 1 to keep no local copy of API responses: reads go to the API and the response cache is off.- Bearer token callers must present when the server runs with --transport http; not used by stdio.
PRINTING_PRESS_CLIENT_PROFILEenvNot enforced by this connector (no tenant-gated profiles); leave unset. It does not limit access.
These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions
Is DNSFilter MCP 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: DNSFILTER_API_KEY, DNSFILTER_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN
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 (0.1.1) reached the registry yesterday.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.
What can I use instead?

DNSFilter + AI - for ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini, and any agent that speaks MCP
Unofficial. Community-built Claude Code Skill and MCP server for the DNSFilter
API. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by DNSFilter, Inc.
▶ Watch the 30-second demo - demo data is simulated; every command shown exists in the real CLI.
Every DNSFilter API operation, plus one-command answers to 'why is this site blocked for this client' and 'which clients are behind on the roaming agent'. Works with the AI you already use - ChatGPT (Plus/Pro+), Claude Desktop, Codex, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and GitHub Copilot - plus Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio and Google Gemini via the remote path. Free, open source, runs on your laptop. Built for MSP owners. No code required.
Works with your agent
The six agents MSP owners actually use (self-serve, works today):
| Your AI agent | How to install the DNSFilter skill |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Run installer, then Settings > Extensions to register dnsfilter-mcp (no JSON editing). |
| ChatGPT (paid plans) | Run installer, host dnsfilter-mcp over HTTPS with DNSFILTER_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN set, then register it as a Developer Mode connector if your connector settings can send the bearer token. |
| Codex CLI | Paste the install prompt below. |
| Claude Code | Paste the install prompt below. |
| Claude Cowork | Paste the install prompt below. |
| GitHub Copilot (VS Code) | Run installer, add dnsfilter-mcp to mcp.json under the servers key, then pick Agent mode. |
For ChatGPT, run dnsfilter-mcp --transport http with DNSFILTER_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN set, on an HTTPS host; every request sends that token. See mcp-install.md.
Also for the Microsoft and Google stacks
Big install base, but an honest heads-up: these are the remote / enterprise path, not the local binary you just installed.
| Agent | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio | Not self-serve. Host dnsfilter-mcp over HTTPS with DNSFILTER_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN set, then wire it into Copilot Studio (Tools > Add a tool > Model Context Protocol > Server URL) or a declarative agent, if it can send the bearer token. Needs a Copilot Studio license + tenant admin. See mcp-install.md. |
| Google Gemini | Gemini CLI is local - same as Claude Code. The Gemini app is remote - same HTTPS path as ChatGPT. See mcp-install.md. |
Skill-native agents (also covered): Hermes and OpenClaw read this skill's
SKILL.mddirectly *and* speak MCP - see their install sections below. Also works with Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue.dev, and Zed via MCP. Full per-tool wire-up: [docs/which-agent.md](../../docs/which-agent.md).
Run more than one agent? Install across all 51+ supported agents in one command:
npx skills add Servosity/msp-skills@latest(requires Node.js, then run the per-skill installer for the CLI/MCP binaries). See docs/which-agent.md.
Install in 60 seconds
Fastest for Claude Desktop - one-click .mcpb
Download DNSFilter MCP (.mcpb) - then open Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions and select the file. One click, no JSON, no shell. (Browse every DNSFilter release on the releases page.)
Prefer the Claude Code plugin? Add the marketplace once, then install - works immediately, no directory listing required:
/plugin marketplace add Servosity/msp-skills/plugin install dnsfilter@msp-skills
Path A - paste one prompt into your AI agent (recommended)
Copy this into Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Cowork:
Install the DNSFilter Skill and MCP server from Servosity/msp-skills in this agent workspace. If this workspace uses a POSIX shell (macOS, Linux, WSL, or Bash), run
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/dnsfilter/install.sh). If it uses Windows PowerShell, runiwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/dnsfilter/install.ps1 | iex. Then authenticate per the README and rundnsfilter-cli --helpto explore.
The same prompt works in any agent that can run shell.
Path B - run the installer yourself
Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/dnsfilter/install.ps1 | iexmacOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/dnsfilter/install.sh)The installer drops both dnsfilter-cli (the CLI) and dnsfilter-mcp (the MCP server) into your user bin path. Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork discover the Skill via SKILL.md in this directory.
Verify:
dnsfilter-cli --versionUpgrade to the latest version
The installer always fetches the current release - re-run it to upgrade:
macOS / Linux:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/dnsfilter/install.sh)Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/dnsfilter/install.ps1 | iexClaude Desktop .mcpb users: download the latest .mcpb (top of this section) and re-select it in Settings > Extensions. Claude Code plugin users: /plugin update dnsfilter@msp-skills.
Add to Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, or another MCP client
After the installer runs, see [mcp-install.md](./mcp-install.md) and [docs/which-agent.md](../../docs/which-agent.md) for the per-agent wire-up - one section per agent, including the GitHub Copilot servers key and the remote Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio path. Claude Desktop's Settings > Extensions panel is the simplest path; the MCP config block (for users who prefer editing JSON) is documented in mcp-install.md.
Install for Hermes
From the Hermes CLI:
hermes skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/dnsfilter --forceInside a Hermes chat session:
/skills install servosity/msp-skills/skills/dnsfilter --forceHermes speaks MCP natively, so it can also use the dnsfilter-mcp server directly - same install path, same env vars.
Install for OpenClaw
Tell your OpenClaw agent (copy this):
Install the dnsfilter skill from https://github.com/servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/dnsfilter. The skill defines how its required CLI (
dnsfilter-cli) can be installed via theopenclaw:frontmatter block.
OpenClaw isn't generally available yet; the frontmatter wiring is pre-shipped and will activate the moment OpenClaw launches.
Authenticate
Create an API token in the DNSFilter dashboard (in your MSP organization, so the cross-client commands see your client orgs) and set it as DNSFILTER_API_KEY. Use the token itself: DNSFilter expects the bare token in the Authorization header, with no Bearer prefix.
macOS / Linux:
DNSFILTER_API_KEY=<value> dnsfilter-cli doctorOn Windows (PowerShell):
$env:DNSFILTER_API_KEY = "<value>"dnsfilter-cli doctor
To save the token instead of setting it each session, pipe it to dnsfilter-cli auth set-token (it reads stdin, so the token never lands in your shell history as an argument):
printf '%s\n' "$DNSFILTER_API_KEY" | dnsfilter-cli auth set-tokenOn Windows (PowerShell):
$env:DNSFILTER_API_KEY | dnsfilter-cli auth set-tokendoctor checks config, paths and API reachability, and sends the token to DNSFilter's GET /v1/current_user, so a rejected token shows up as a Credentials: invalid row, a token that lacks access (HTTP 403) as WARN scope-limited, and a wrong base URL as an API: ERROR row. An answer that was redirected away from the DNSFilter API, or that is not a current-user record, never counts as proof (WARN not verified), and a cache whose last sync was incomplete is not fresh. It exits 0 even then, so scripts should add --fail-on error (or --fail-on warn, which also fails on a 403, an unverified probe or an incomplete sync). It also warns when a stored token starts with Bearer or Token .
What this skill does
| Question your MSP keeps asking | Command |
|---|---|
| Why is this domain blocked for this client, and which policy and rule did it? | dnsfilter-cli why-blocked "example.com" --org "Acme Dental" |
| Allow it on the policies that actually blocked it (preview first) | dnsfilter-cli allow "example.com" --org "Acme Dental" --note "TKT-4821" |
| What unblock requests are waiting across every client, grouped by domain? | dnsfilter-cli unblocks triage |
| Which clients have roaming clients behind the latest agent release? | dnsfilter-cli agents drift |
| Who is still on the roaming client build that got pulled? | dnsfilter-cli agents drift --bad-version 1.7.15 --agent-type windows |
| Which roaming clients stopped checking in, or are unprotected or bypassed? | dnsfilter-cli agents stale --older-than 7d |
| Which client policies already allow or block this domain or a parent domain? | dnsfilter-cli lists where "example.com" |
| Which allow-listed domains are now categorized as threats, and which policies leave security categories unblocked? | dnsfilter-cli policy-audit |

What makes this different
Most DNSFilter integrations and MCP servers proxy each question into a live API call. That's fine for one record. It dies at scale, when you're asking "which of my 60 client orgs still have Windows roaming clients on the build DNSFilter just pulled" or "why is this site blocked for this one client right now".
This skill syncs DNSFilter into a local SQLite mirror with full-text search, so agents drift, agents stale and lists where answer one local query across every client org, joining roaming clients to their sites, sites to their organizations and policies. agents drift reads DNSFilter's release feed live on every run, so a pulled release does not linger in a stale copy. why-blocked and allow work live: they resolve the client's current policy (scheduled-policy slot included), walk DNSFilter's documented rule order, read the Query Log, and say which rule types the API does not expose, which is the chain a stateless API wrapper leaves the AI to assemble call by call.
It complements the DNSFilter dashboard rather than replacing it: policies, deployments, reporting and the Query Log stay there.
The pain this closes
A blocked-site ticket is a chain, not a lookup: which policy the client's site or roaming client is using right now (scheduled policies switch by the quarter hour), that policy's allow list, block list and categories, and what the Query Log recorded. Then the fix has to land on the policy that actually blocked it, not a shared global one. A DNSFilter Community post, "Policy enforcement & reporting discrepancies with Roaming Client", describes a roaming client on a second site ign
