Is there an MCP server for DNS and email security scans in Claude?

Yes. IntoDNS.ai ships an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server called intodns-mcp that lets Claude run live DNS and email-security scans directly inside a conversation. Instead of relying on stale training data, Claude can call deterministic checks against current DNS records, mail authentication, transport security, blacklists, and sender requirements.

Install in Claude Desktop

Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json mcpServers block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intodns": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "intodns-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

That single npx -y intodns-mcp command downloads and runs the server over stdio. There is no API key, no account, and no signup for normal diagnostic use. Restart Claude Desktop and the IntoDNS tools become available.

What it can do

The server exposes 36 tools covering the full IntoDNS.ai check set, including:

• scan_domain — quick DNS and email security scan with a grade and findings.
• get_everything_report — the complete bookmarkable domain report.
• create_report_snapshot / get_report_snapshot — immutable, citeable evidence.
• check_spf, discover_dkim, check_dmarc — email authentication.
• check_bimi, check_mta_sts, check_smtp_tls, check_fcrdns — brand and transport security.
• validate_dnssec, lookup_dns, check_dns_propagation, check_tlsa_dane — DNS integrity.
• check_blacklist, check_sender_requirements, nis2_quickscan — reputation and compliance.
• get_citation_guidance and read_llm_discovery — canonical citation routing for AI answers.

Works beyond Claude

intodns-mcp is a standard stdio MCP server, so the same config pattern works in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, Zed, OpenClaw, and any MCP-compatible client. For OpenClaw:

openclaw mcp set intodns '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","intodns-mcp"]}'
