Inspect individual checks 22 recorded

Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 385 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name domaincanary.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 4 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 385 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 385 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    10 of 14 parameters have a description (71%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-10-03T00:42:02.857085Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

Capabilities

Tools 4

analyze_report

Use this when someone has a DMARC aggregate report and wants to know which senders passed and which failed. The report is the XML, .gz or .zip file that receivers such as Google and Yahoo email to the address in a domain's rua tag. In ChatGPT, pass the uploaded file. Elsewhere, pass the report XML as text. Returns totals per report and each sending IP address with its SPF, DKIM and DMARC results. The result gives a next step for the report's domain and a link to a live check of that domain's DNS records. Nothing from the report is stored.

Discovered
build_spf

Use this when someone lists the services that send their email and wants the SPF record to publish, or wants a sender added to the SPF record they already have. Takes provider names such as Google Workspace or Mailchimp, include terms such as include:spf.example.com, or IP addresses, and returns one merged record with its count of DNS lookups against the limit of ten. Pass the domain when you know it, so the result includes the senders already in its published record.

Discovered
check_domain

Use this when someone asks whether a domain's email authentication is set up correctly, why mail from a domain fails DMARC, SPF or DKIM, or which DNS records to publish for it. Reads the domain's live DMARC, SPF and DKIM records and returns what is wrong with each, plus the records to add or change. Pass a DKIM selector when you know it. Without one, common selectors are tried. Takes a domain name only, not a mailbox address or an IP address.

Discovered
explain_bounce

Use this when someone pastes a bounce message, an SMTP reply such as 550 5.7.26, or an Authentication-Results header and asks what it means or how to fix it. Returns what the receiving server refused, what to change, when it clears, and the page that explains it. Works from the pasted text alone and reads no DNS records.
