Summary generated from the project's README
About HTTPfy MCP server
HTTPfy provides a remote, read-only MCP server designed for network diagnostics and domain analysis. It allows developers to perform complex checks from external servers without needing local infrastructure or authentication. The service is accessible via a streamable HTTP endpoint, making it compatible with various clients including Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and Gemini CLI. Because it runs on httpfy.io servers, it can test reachability and DNS propagation from different global perspectives.
Users can access a wide range of specialized tools such as dns_lookup, ssl_certificate_check, and dmarc_check. The server handles tasks ranging from simple ping and traceroute commands to deep security audits like dnssec_check and bimi_check. To ensure fair usage, the service implements specific hourly limits per client, allowing for 100 lookups, 30 active checks, and 10 probes. No API keys or accounts are required to start using these diagnostic capabilities.
What you can do with it
- 1Verify DNS propagationCheck if a DNS change has reached different regions by querying multiple public resolvers.
- 2Audit email securityValidate SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to ensure email authentication is correctly configured.
- 3Analyze SSL certificatesInspect the certificate chain, validity dates, and subject details for a specific domain.
- 4Perform domain health gradingGet an automated grade from A to F based on multiple security and configuration checks.
Written from the project's README. Every use case is checked against a quote from it.

Tools
dns_lookup(domain, record_type): Look up DNS records of one type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, TXT, SRV) for a domain using public resolvers.dns_propagation_check(domain_name, query_type): Query a domain on about 40 public resolvers in different regions and report which ones return which answers, to see whether a DNS change has propagated.dnssec_check(domain): Validate the DNSSEC chain of trust for a domain from the root down (DS, DNSKEY, RRSIG) and report each zone as secure, insecure or broken.mx_lookup(domain): List the mail exchanger (MX) records of a domain with their preferences.spf_lookup(domain): Fetch the SPF record of a domain from its authoritative name server and list its mechanisms (ip4, ip6, include, redirect, all).spf_validate(domain): Validate the SPF record of a domain: syntax, single-record rule, DNS lookup count (limit 10), void lookups, includes and the all mechanism.domain_whois(domain): WHOIS registration data for a domain: registrar, dates, status and name servers (personal contact data is redacted by registries).domain_expiry(domain_name): Registration and expiry dates of a domain, with the time remaining before it expires.ssl_certificate_check(domain): Connect to a domain on port 443 and report the certificate chain: subject, issuer, validity dates, days remaining, SANs and chain details.ping(host): Ping a public host from httpfy servers (4 ICMP echo requests) and report packet loss and round-trip times. Useful to test reachability from outside your own network.traceroute(host): Traceroute to a public host from httpfy servers (up to 10 hops). Internal hops of httpfy's own network are masked.ip_whois(ip_address): WHOIS / registry data for a public IPv4 address: ASN, network range, owner organisation and registry.ip_blacklist_check(ip_address): Check whether a public IPv4 address is listed on common DNS-based blocklists such as Spamhaus, Barracuda and SpamCop.mac_vendor_lookup(mac_address): Identify the manufacturer registered for a MAC address prefix (OUI) using the IEEE registry.asn_lookup(query): Look up the autonomous system (ASN) for a public IP address, or details for an ASN such as AS15169: name, country, announced prefixes and address counts.bimi_check(domain): Check the BIMI record of a domain, whether DMARC meets BIMI requirements, and whether the SVG logo and certificate URLs are reachable and well formed.caa_check(domain): Find the CAA records that apply to a domain (climbing to parent domains per RFC 8659) and list which certificate authorities may issue certificates.certificate_transparency_search(domain): List certificates logged in Certificate Transparency for a domain (via crt.sh): issuer, validity window and names, with a summary by issuer.dkim_check(domain, selector): Check DKIM public keys for a domain. With a selector it checks that selector; without one it probes common selectors. Reports key type and RSA key length and flags weak or revoked keys.dmarc_check(domain): Find and explain the DMARC record of a domain (policy, pct, rua/ruf, alignment) and flag weaknesses such as p=none or missing external report authorization.dns_report(domain): Full DNS report for a domain: delegation from the root, every authoritative name server checked individually (reachability, recursion, TCP, consistency), SOA values, MX records and their reverse DNS, SPF, DMARC, DKIM and DNSSEC.domain_health_report(domain): Grade a domain A to F across 11 checks (name servers, SOA, DNSSEC, MX, SPF, DMARC, CAA, HTTPS certificate, HTTP to HTTPS redirect, HSTS, IPv6), with a reason and fix for each failed check.mta_sts_check(domain): Check MTA-STS (TXT record and the HTTPS policy file, mode and MX patterns) and the TLS-RPT reporting record for a domain.port_check(host, port): Check whether one TCP port on a public host is open, closed or filtered when tested from httpfy servers on the internet.
