MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL / REMOTE SERVER
Reliable domain tools for AI agents.
Give a compatible agent structured, read-only tools for domain, web-security, SEO, reputation, and network investigations over Streamable HTTP MCP.
Current programmatic coverage: Every MCP tool is available on Free and Pro. Each invocation consumes one quota unit, including composite domain inspection and bounded port scanning.
01 /
A bounded diagnostic surface.
The server gives agents explicit tools instead of asking them to infer DNS state from web pages or unstructured command output.
- Look up A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SRV, SOA, and CAA records.
- Parse SPF policy and surface DNS-lookup pressure and configuration findings.
- Inspect DMARC policy, alignment, and reporting configuration.
- Check DKIM selectors and MX routing with structured results.
02 /
Designed for controlled agent workflows.
Every call is authenticated, quota-controlled, and limited to public targets. The interface is useful for support copilots, infrastructure assistants, onboarding agents, and domain-audit automations.
- No write access to DNS providers or customer infrastructure.
- The same account controls both REST and MCP usage.
- Stable tool inputs reduce prompt-specific parsing and brittle shell work.

}FAQ /
Operational detail.
Can an agent change my DNS records?
No. The NerdTools MCP tools are diagnostic and read-only; they do not connect to a DNS-provider account or modify records.
How is MCP usage billed?
MCP calls use the same API key, account plan, and quota as REST API requests.
