Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work

Inspect individual checks 22 recorded

Core

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

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 219 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.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    32 of 32 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    23 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Fail
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner does not match the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

Capabilities

Tools 23

bimi_check

Check only the BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) DNS record for a domain — faster than bimi_vmc because it skips the VMC certificate download and validation. Returns the BIMI record at default._bimi.<domain>, logo URL, and authority (VMC) URL if declared.

Discovered
bimi_vmc

Check BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) and VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) for a domain. Returns BIMI DNS record status, VMC certificate details, logo URL, trademark info, and expiry.

Discovered
dns_change_review

Review proposed DNS changes BEFORE applying them. Compares a domain's current public DNS with a proposed future state, returns a diff, deterministic rule-based findings (SPF/DMARC/MX/CAA/DNSSEC pitfalls, dangling records, mail breakage, etc.) with suggested fixes, and an overall 0-100 risk score. Stateless — nothing is stored.

Discovered
dns_health

Run a comprehensive DNS health audit on a domain — 39 checks across 7 categories: DNSSEC (chain of trust, algorithms, validation), MX & email (PTR, MTA-STS, redundancy), DNS hygiene (SPF conflicts, wildcards, apex CNAME), TTL & SOA configuration, nameserver setup (diversity, lame delegation, EDNS0), CAA certificates, and operational maturity (security.txt, abuse mailbox). Returns an overall severity-weighted score (0–100) plus per-category scores.

Discovered
dns_lookup

Look up all common DNS records (A, AAAA, NS, MX, TXT, CNAME, SOA) for a domain. Returns results from a specified DNS server.

Discovered
dns_propagation

Check DNS propagation for a domain across 18+ global DNS servers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS, regional servers, and authoritative nameservers). Shows if DNS changes have propagated worldwide.

Discovered
dns_record

Look up a specific DNS record type for a domain. Supports 53 record types including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, SOA, PTR, CAA, SRV, DNSKEY, DS, TLSA, HTTPS, SPF, and more.

Discovered
domain_scanner

Scan a domain's email security posture: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI configuration. Returns per-indicator scores and detected issues so you can see how well the domain is protected against spoofing and phishing.

Discovered
geo_checker

Check a domain's GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) score — how well the site is optimized for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. Returns three scores (Technical Readiness, Entity Readiness, Answer Readiness), AI crawler access status, structured data analysis, and prioritized recommendations.

Discovered
hosting_report

Find out who hosts a website. Returns the hosting provider, IP/ASN/network owner, server location, DNS/nameserver provider, CDN or proxy detection (Cloudflare, Fastly, etc.), SSL certificate issuer, and mail servers/provider for a domain in one combined report.

Discovered
my_certificates

Get an SSL certificate expiry overview for your monitored domains: per-alert-level counts (ok / warning / critical / expired) and every certificate sorted by soonest expiry, highlighting the ones expiring within 30 days. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Discovered
my_dns_changes

List recent DNS changes detected on your monitored domains, each with its DNS Change Review risk assessment (0-100 risk score, severity counts, added/removed/modified record counts), plus the latest risk per monitor. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Discovered
my_incidents

List incidents from your NsLookup.io monitoring (downtime, SSL expiry, DNS changes, propagation issues, VMC problems) — open ones by default, or the full recent history — plus a per-status/per-source summary. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Discovered
my_monitors

List all monitors in your NsLookup.io account across every type — uptime, API, DNS, WHOIS, DNS propagation, SSL certificates, and BIMI/VMC — with their configuration and latest known state. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Discovered
my_overview

Get an account health snapshot for your NsLookup.io monitoring: an aggregated 0-100 health score with per-subsystem breakdown (uptime, SSL, DNS, propagation, VMC, WHOIS) plus your current product limits/quota. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Discovered
my_uptime_history

Get uptime and response-time history for one of your NsLookup.io uptime monitors: availability stats plus hourly buckets over the requested window. Identify the monitor by id or by URL. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Discovered
rdap_lookup

Look up registration data (RDAP — the successor to WHOIS) for an IP address, AS number, or domain name. The query type is detected automatically. Returns the owning organization, network range/CIDR, RIR (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC), country, status, registration/last-changed dates, nameservers, and abuse/registrant contacts, plus the raw RDAP JSON.

Discovered
security_scan

Run a security scan on a domain to detect DNS misconfigurations, missing SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, cookie security issues, and other web security vulnerabilities. Returns findings with severity levels (critical, high, medium, low, info).

Discovered
ssl_certificate

Check the SSL/TLS certificate for a domain. Returns issuer, expiry date, days until expiry, certificate chain validity, cipher strength, SAN domains, fingerprint, and TLS protocol version.

Discovered
status_page

Read a public status page hosted on nslookup.io status pages. Returns the page name, overall status, per-component status and uptime, and active incidents/maintenance. Look up by slug (pages served at hosted.nslookup.io/<slug>) or by the custom domain the page is served on. Provide exactly one of slug or domain.

Discovered
uptime_check

Perform a one-time HTTP uptime check on a URL from a single location. Returns whether the site is up or down, HTTP status code, and response time in milliseconds. For multi-location checks, use uptime_check_multi instead.

Discovered
uptime_check_multi

Check if a website is up or down from 7 global locations simultaneously: Amsterdam, Sydney, London, Frankfurt, Delhi, Warsaw, and South Carolina. Returns status, response time, and HTTP status code for each location.

Discovered
webservers

Get the IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) for a domain by looking up A and AAAA records. Also returns the punycode and unicode domain representations.
