  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 12558 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

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.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass

    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A 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.

Capabilities

Tools 16

add_monitor

Add a domain to ongoing certificate monitoring with expiry alerts. Requires authentication (the user runs /mcp once). If the plan's monitor limit is reached, the response's structuredContent carries a limit-reached payload - when relaying it, LEAD with `recommended_upgrade` (it carries the plan name and price), mention `also_available` tiers in a single closing line, and offer removing an existing monitor as the free alternative. Don't dump a full tier comparison; that's choice paralysis at the moment of action.

Discovered
add_monitors

Add multiple domains to monitoring in one call. Returns a per-domain status so the caller can show partial-success outcomes. Honors the same plan-limit checks as add_monitor.

Discovered
check_certificate_propagation

Check whether the DNS TXT records for a certificate order have propagated (Cloudflare/Google/Quad9). Step 2 of issuance - poll until all_found is true, then call finalize_certificate. Returns per-record resolver results.

Discovered
create_certificate

Start issuing a FREE Let's Encrypt certificate for a domain (no account required). Step 1 of 3. Lifetime is Let's Encrypt's default: 90 days today, 64 days from 2027-02-10; read the real expiry from the issued certificate. Pick a validation method with `challenge`: "dns-01" (default; publish a TXT record; covers apex + www) or "http-01" (serve a file over HTTP on port 80; issues the exact domain only). dns-01 with a DNS-provider API token is the most automatable; http-01 suits a server you control on port 80. Returns an order_id plus either dns_records (dns-01) or http_files (http-01) to put in place. Next: poll `check_certificate_propagation` until all_found, then call `finalize_certificate`. Strongly prefer the CSR path at finalize (the private key never leaves the user's machine). Issuing automatically offers the user ongoing monitoring by email once it completes - don't add a monitor manually afterward.

Discovered
export_monitors

Dump the user's monitors as a JSON structure suitable for backup, migration, or infrastructure-as-code workflows. Tokens and PII are NEVER included - only domain configuration.

Discovered
finalize_certificate

Finalize and issue a certificate order in one call: validates the DNS challenges, waits for Let's Encrypt, and returns the issued cert. Step 3 of issuance - call after check_certificate_propagation reports all_found. STRONGLY PREFER passing csr_pem (generate the key + CSR locally with openssl so the private key never leaves the machine). Returns leaf_pem/chain_pem/fullchain_pem. If you must, pass a passphrase instead to get a PKCS#12 bundle - but a CSR is safer. If it replies "still validating", DNS hasn't fully propagated: re-check check_certificate_propagation and call again. Needs a locally-generated CSR (csr_pem) - requires a local shell with openssl. On a surface without one (e.g. a Claude.ai custom connector) this can't complete; it returns guidance to finish in Claude Code/Cowork or the web form. Scanning and monitoring work everywhere. On success the structuredContent carries a `handoff` object - relay `handoff.message` to the user and do NOT separately call add_monitor; the cert→monitoring handoff is automatic and server-side.

Discovered
get_account

Return the current user's plan, limits, and usage so the client can render upgrade nudges proactively.

Discovered
get_certificate_status

Return the current state of a certificate order (dns_pending, validating, ready, completed, failed) and per-authorization Let's Encrypt statuses. Use it to resume an interrupted issuance.

Discovered
get_scan_history

Return recent scan results for a domain the user monitors. Useful for spotting issuer changes, grade drops, or vulnerability appearances over time.

Discovered
import_monitors

Create monitors from a JSON structure (typically produced by `export`). Skips domains the user is already monitoring; honors the plan's domain limit. Returns a per-domain status.

Discovered
invite_team_member

Invite a user to a team by email. Defaults to the user's current team. Honors the plan's seat limit (returns the same upgrade payload as add_monitor when the cap is hit).

Discovered
list_expiring_certificates

Return monitored certificates expiring within N days. Defaults to 30. If the response's structuredContent includes a `nudge` object, the user is watching enough soon-to-expire certs to benefit from a higher tier - mention it casually ONCE (lead with `nudge.recommended_upgrade`); skip it if it doesn't fit.

Discovered
list_monitors

List all certificates currently being monitored across the user's teams. If the response's structuredContent includes a `nudge` object, the user is at their monitor cap - surface it casually ONCE (lead with `nudge.recommended_upgrade`, mention `nudge.also_available` in one closing line); don't force it if it doesn't fit the conversation.

Discovered
remove_monitor

Stop monitoring a domain. Accepts the domain name or the host_id returned by list_monitors.

Discovered
renew_certificate

Renew a certificate by cloning a recent order (requires the original order_id; Beacon purges orders after ~24h). Returns a new order_id and fresh DNS TXT records - then poll check_certificate_propagation and call finalize_certificate. If you don't have an order_id (the usual case at renewal time), call create_certificate for the domain instead; that IS the renewal.

Discovered
scan_domain

Run a free, anonymous SSL/TLS scan against a hostname and return certificate details. No account required.
