MCP tools — 17 exposed · ~1,893 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens
add_monitor ~135

Add a domain to ongoing certificate monitoring with expiry alerts. Requires authentication (the user runs /mcp once). If the plan's monitor limit is reached, the response's structuredContent carries a limit-reached payload - when relaying it, LEAD with `recommended_upgrade` (typically Starter, $9.99/mo), mention `also_available` tiers in a single closing line, and offer removing an existing monitor as the free alternative. Don't dump a full tier comparison; that's choice paralysis at the moment of action.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringyesHostname to monitor (e.g. example.com). No scheme, no path.
NameTypeReqDescription
addressstring
host_idstring
scan_group_idstring
team_idstring

No examples provided.

add_monitors ~55

Add multiple domains to monitoring in one call. Returns a per-domain status so the caller can show partial-success outcomes. Honors the same plan-limit checks as add_monitor.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainsarrayyesList of hostnames to monitor
NameTypeReqDescription
addedintegeryes
requestedintegeryes
resultsarrayyesPer-domain add status.
scan_group_idstring
team_idstring

No examples provided.

check_certificate_propagation ~70

Check whether the DNS TXT records for a certificate order have propagated (Cloudflare/Google/Quad9). Step 2 of issuance - poll until all_found is true, then call finalize_certificate. Returns per-record resolver results.

NameTypeReqDescription
order_idstringyesThe order_id from create_certificate.
NameTypeReqDescription
all_foundbooleanTrue when every challenge record/file is in place.
recordsarrayPer-record propagation status.

No examples provided.

create_certificate ~322

Start issuing a FREE 90-day Let's Encrypt certificate for a domain (no account required). Step 1 of 3. Pick a validation method with `challenge`: "dns-01" (default; publish a TXT record; covers apex + www) or "http-01" (serve a file over HTTP on port 80; issues the exact domain only). dns-01 with a DNS-provider API token is the most automatable; http-01 suits a server you control on port 80. Returns an order_id plus either dns_records (dns-01) or http_files (http-01) to put in place. Next: poll `check_certificate_propagation` until all_found, then call `finalize_certificate`. Strongly prefer the CSR path at finalize (the private key never leaves the user's machine). Issuing automatically offers the user ongoing monitoring by email once it completes - don't add a monitor manually afterward.

NameTypeReqDescription
challengestringValidation method: dns-01 (default) or http-01.
client_idstringOptional anonymous install id from ~/.config/tlsradar/install_id (funnel attribution). If omitted, the response's install_id is a fresh one to save there.
domainstringyesApex domain, no scheme/www (e.g. example.com).
emailstringyesContact email for Let's Encrypt expiry notices and the monitoring handoff.
marketing_consentbooleanOnly true if the user explicitly opts in to a free account + reminder email. Default false.
NameTypeReqDescription
challengestringyes
dns_recordsarrayTXT records to publish for dns-01.
domainstringyes
http_filesarrayFiles to serve for http-01.
install_idstring
next_actionstring
order_idstringyes
resume_tokenstringSigned token to finalize past the backend's order TTL.

No examples provided.

export_monitors ~41

Dump the user's monitors as a JSON structure suitable for backup, migration, or infrastructure-as-code workflows. Tokens and PII are NEVER included - only domain configuration.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
exported_atstringyes
teamsarrayyes
versionstringyes

No examples provided.

finalize_certificate ~375

Finalize and issue a certificate order in one call: validates the DNS challenges, waits for Let's Encrypt, and returns the issued cert. Step 3 of issuance - call after check_certificate_propagation reports all_found. STRONGLY PREFER passing csr_pem (generate the key + CSR locally with openssl so the private key never leaves the machine). Returns leaf_pem/chain_pem/fullchain_pem. If you must, pass a passphrase instead to get a PKCS#12 bundle - but a CSR is safer. If it replies "still validating", DNS hasn't fully propagated: re-check check_certificate_propagation and call again. Needs a locally-generated CSR (csr_pem) - requires a local shell with openssl. On a surface without one (e.g. a Claude.ai custom connector) this can't complete; it returns guidance to finish in Claude Code/Cowork or the web form. Scanning and monitoring work everywhere. On success the structuredContent carries a `handoff` object - relay `handoff.message` to the user and do NOT separately call add_monitor; the cert→monitoring handoff is automatic and server-side.

NameTypeReqDescription
csr_pemstringPEM CERTIFICATE REQUEST covering exactly {domain, www.domain}. Preferred - key stays local.
max_wait_secondsintegerHow long to wait for validation server-side. Default 60, capped at 75.
order_idstringyesThe order_id from create_certificate.
passphrasestringFallback only: ≥8 chars, protects a returned PKCS#12 bundle. Omit when using csr_pem.
resume_tokenstringOptional. The resume_token from create_certificate; pass it to finalize an order whose row Beacon already purged (~24h).
NameTypeReqDescription
chain_pemstring
fullchain_pemstringFull certificate chain (PEM), present on success.
handoffobjectCert->monitoring handoff; relay handoff.message and do not call add_monitor.
leaf_pemstring
modestring
not_afterstring
statestring

No examples provided.

get_account ~28

Return the current user's plan, limits, and usage so the client can render upgrade nudges proactively.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
emailstringyes
planobjectPlan tier and limits.
usageobjectCurrent usage against the plan limits.

No examples provided.

get_certificate_status ~59

Return the current state of a certificate order (dns_pending, validating, ready, completed, failed) and per-authorization Let's Encrypt statuses. Use it to resume an interrupted issuance.

NameTypeReqDescription
order_idstringyesThe order_id from create_certificate.
NameTypeReqDescription
challengestring
fullchain_pemstringPresent once the order is completed.
statestring

No examples provided.

get_scan_history ~62

Return recent scan results for a domain the user monitors. Useful for spotting issuer changes, grade drops, or vulnerability appearances over time.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringyesDomain name as it appears in list_monitors
limitintegerMax results to return
NameTypeReqDescription
countintegeryes
domainstringyes
resultsarrayyes

No examples provided.

import_monitors ~69

Create monitors from a JSON structure (typically produced by `export`). Skips domains the user is already monitoring; honors the plan's domain limit. Returns a per-domain status.

NameTypeReqDescription
payloadobjectyesExport payload, version 1.0. Use the `export` tool to generate one.
NameTypeReqDescription
addedinteger
requestedinteger
resultsarrayPer-domain import status.

No examples provided.

invite_team_member ~94

Invite a user to a team by email. Defaults to the user's current team. Honors the plan's seat limit (returns the same upgrade payload as add_monitor when the cap is hit).

NameTypeReqDescription
emailstringyesEmail address of the person to invite
rolestringInvitee role: guest or admin. Defaults to guest.
team_idstringTeam UUID; defaults to the current team
NameTypeReqDescription
invited_emailstringyes
rolestringyes
team_idstringyes
team_namestring

No examples provided.

list_expiring_certificates ~93

Return monitored certificates expiring within N days. Defaults to 30. If the response's structuredContent includes a `nudge` object, the user is watching enough soon-to-expire certs to benefit from a higher tier - mention it casually ONCE (lead with `nudge.recommended_upgrade`); skip it if it doesn't fit.

NameTypeReqDescription
withinintegerDays from now to look ahead
NameTypeReqDescription
countintegeryes
entriesarrayyes
nudgeobjectPresent only when an upgrade nudge is warranted.
within_daysintegeryes

No examples provided.

list_monitors ~80

List all certificates currently being monitored across the user's teams. If the response's structuredContent includes a `nudge` object, the user is at their monitor cap - surface it casually ONCE (lead with `nudge.recommended_upgrade`, mention `nudge.also_available` in one closing line); don't force it if it doesn't fit the conversation.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
countintegeryes
monitorsarrayyes
nudgeobjectPresent only when an upgrade nudge is warranted.

No examples provided.

register_beacon_order ~147

OBSOLETE - do not call. The cert→monitoring handoff is server-side now (issue via create_certificate, which records the order itself). This tool is kept only so old plugin versions that still call it don't error; it remains idempotent and harmless.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringyesDomain the cert was requested for
emailstringyesContact email the user gave Beacon
order_idstringyesThe order_id from beacon.create_order
webhook_secretstringPer-order HMAC secret Beacon returned (used to verify the subsequent webhook). Optional - without it, this server can't verify webhooks for the order and will drop them.
NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringyes
has_webhook_secretboolean
order_idstringyes
registeredbooleanyes

No examples provided.

remove_monitor ~55

Stop monitoring a domain. Accepts the domain name or the host_id returned by list_monitors.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringDomain to stop monitoring
host_idstringUUID of the host (alternative to domain)
NameTypeReqDescription
removed_addressstringyes

No examples provided.

renew_certificate ~111

Renew a certificate by cloning a recent order (requires the original order_id; Beacon purges orders after ~24h). Returns a new order_id and fresh DNS TXT records - then poll check_certificate_propagation and call finalize_certificate. If you don't have an order_id (the usual case at 90-day renewal time), call create_certificate for the domain instead; that IS the renewal.

NameTypeReqDescription
order_idstringyesThe original order_id to clone. If you don't have one, use create_certificate instead.
NameTypeReqDescription
