Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security94
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1205 tokens (~150/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management30
- Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the DNSMint MCP server?
DNSMint is a hosted endpoint at https://dnsmint.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
diagnose_hostname Diagnose a hostname ~72
Why a hostname is or is not working: what the nameservers answer, what public resolvers see, and whether a certificate has been issued. Use this before assuming something is broken; a name minted moments ago may simply not have propagated.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | The hostname's id, from list_hostnames. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_hostname Get a hostname ~56
One hostname's status and certificate mode. Does not say where it points: DNS is the authoritative answer for that, so use diagnose_hostname or resolve the name.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | The hostname's id, from list_hostnames. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_plan Get the plan ~91
What this account's plan allows and how much of it is used: hostnames, dedicated domains, and whether a plan is active at all. Also says whether a checkout is outstanding, which is how you find out a payment link you were given has not been completed yet. Call this after handing someone a checkout URL, instead of retrying a mint to see if it worked. It costs nothing and changes nothing.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_hostnames List hostnames ~43
Every hostname this credential can see, with how many are active and the plan's cap. Check the cap before minting: a hostname is the unit the plan counts.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mint_hostname Mint a hostname ~245
Register an address and get back a stable hostname that survives the address changing. This is the tool to use when a machine or agent needs a name. The address class is fixed for the life of the name: mint with a public address and it stays public, mint with a private one and it stays private. Crossing later is refused, so pass the address the machine will actually serve on. A target fixes the class the same way, from whatever it resolves to. A hostname is one label above a domain. Names below a hostname are not hostnames and cannot be minted. Newly minted names report status 'pending' and go 'live' within about a minute.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | – | Which of the account's domains to mint on. Omitted, DNSMint picks when the account holds one. |
| ip | string | – | IPv4 or IPv6, public or private. |
| subdomain | string | – | The label to use. Omitted, DNSMint picks an opaque one. |
| target | string | – | A platform endpoint to mint on instead of an address, when the platform gave you a URL and no IP. Send either ip or target, not both. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
release_hostname Release a hostname ~158
PERMANENTLY give up a hostname. Read this before calling it. A released hostname is tombstoned and is never issued again, to anyone, including this account. There is no undo and it cannot be re-minted. This is not like deleting a DNS record. Only call this when the name is genuinely finished with and a human has asked for it. If the goal is to stop serving, repoint it or stop the machine instead. Pass the hostname in `confirm` exactly as it appears, so a name cannot be released by guessing an id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirm | string | yes | The full hostname, exactly. Must match the name behind that id. |
| id | string | yes | The hostname's id, from list_hostnames. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
repoint_hostname Repoint a hostname ~147
Point an existing hostname at a new address. This is what makes the name worth having: the machine moves, the name does not, and everything holding the URL keeps working. Repointing within an address class is free, including between IPv4 and IPv6. Crossing between public and private is refused, because one name resolving public then private is how DNS rebinding works.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | The hostname's id, from list_hostnames. |
| ip | string | – | The new address. |
| target | string | – | A platform endpoint to follow instead of a fixed address, when the platform gave you a URL and no IP. Send either ip or target, not both. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
start_checkout Start a checkout ~224
Get a payment link the account owner opens to raise this account's limits. Call this when minting fails because the account is at its hostname cap or has no plan. This charges nothing and buys nothing. It returns a URL, and the purchase only happens if a person opens it and enters card details. Give the URL to the human you are working with and say what it costs; do not try to complete it yourself, and do not call this repeatedly hoping the limit lifts. Nothing changes until somebody pays. Only for an account with no plan yet. If one already exists you get the billing page back instead, because changing a running plan charges a card on file and is a person's decision. Both numbers default to what the account already holds, so asking for hostnames alone keeps the domains. A plan smaller than what is in use is refused.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domains | integer | – | Dedicated domains the plan should include. Leave unset to keep the current count. |
| hostnames | integer | – | Hostnames the plan should include. Ask for the cap you need, not the extra. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
What is the DNSMint MCP server?
DNSMint is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.dnsmint/mcp. Mint a secure HTTPS endpoint for your agents. Each on its own dedicated domain. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://dnsmint.com/mcp).
Is the DNSMint MCP server safe to use?
DNSMint scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the DNSMint MCP server expose?
DNSMint exposes 8 tools: list_hostnames, get_plan, get_hostname, diagnose_hostname, mint_hostname, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,036 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the DNSMint MCP server require authentication?
Yes. DNSMint asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the DNSMint MCP server still maintained?
DNSMint is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
