Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 60 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name desec-mcp.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 7 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 60 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 60 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

    21 of 21 parameters have a description (100%). 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.

  • 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.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-10T23:33:59.389257Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 7

desec_create_rrset

WRITE: create ONE new RRset (a set of DNS records of one type at one name) in a domain. It goes live in DNS immediately and a wrong record can take a site or mail offline. Fails if an RRset with this subname and type already exists (use desec_replace_rrset for that) or if a CNAME would conflict with other records. Never touches the apex NS or DNSSEC records and cannot delete anything. Subject to deSEC's write limits (15/min, 300/day per domain). POST /domains/{name}/rrsets/.

Discovered
desec_export_zonefile

The whole zone as a plain-text BIND-format zonefile (all RRsets except DNSSEC types). Handy as a backup before changing records. Counts as an expensive deSEC operation (300/min). GET /domains/{name}/zonefile/.

Discovered
desec_get_domain

One domain with its DNSSEC key material: the DNSKEY and the DS records to publish at the registrar for the chain of trust, plus minimum TTL and publication times. GET /domains/{name}/.

Discovered
desec_get_rrset

One RRset by subname and type, e.g. the A records of "www" or the MX records of the apex. GET /domains/{name}/rrsets/{subname}/{type}/.

Discovered
desec_list_domains

List the DNS domains (zones) in this deSEC account, newest first, with creation and last-published times and minimum TTL. DNSSEC keys are omitted here (see desec_get_domain). Use owns_qname to find which of your domains is responsible for a DNS name (for example before adding a record for www.dev.example.net). Up to 500 per page. GET /domains/.

Discovered
desec_list_rrsets

List the DNS records of a domain as RRsets (all records of one name and type, sharing one TTL), newest first. Filter by type and/or subname. Up to 500 per page. GET /domains/{name}/rrsets/.

Discovered
desec_replace_rrset

WRITE (overwrites): set ONE RRset to exactly the given TTL and records, creating it if it does not exist and REPLACING all its current records if it does. It goes live in DNS immediately; a wrong value can take a site or mail offline. The previous RRset is read first and returned as `previous` so the change can be undone with another call. An empty record list is refused (this tool never deletes), and the apex NS and DNSSEC records cannot be changed. Subject to deSEC's write limits (15/min, 300/day per domain). PUT /domains/{name}/rrsets/ with a one-element array.
