Category Security
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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- 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
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability79
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 519 tokens (~173/item across 3 items; 2 tools + 1 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 Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
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
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 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
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

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 →
check_email_dns Check email DNS ~200
Use this when the user wants an email DNS check, a DMARC checker, an SPF record checker, a DKIM checker, or an MX lookup for a domain. Reads the live public DNS records through DNS-over-HTTPS and returns MX hosts, the SPF record with its DNS-lookup count against the limit of 10, the DMARC policy, reporting and alignment, DKIM keys for the selectors you give, and a pass/warn/fail findings list with a fix and a CSV report. Do not use for internal DNS server visibility, full deliverability tests, or reading or sending mail.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dkim_selectors | array | – | Up to 5 DKIM selector names to test, e.g. ["mail", "selector1"]. Ask the mail provider or check the DKIM signature header if the selector is unknown. |
| domain | string | yes | The domain to check, without http or a path, e.g. example.com. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

lookup_dns_records Look up DNS records ~189
Use this when the user wants a dns lookup, an mx record check, or a txt record lookup for a domain. Reads live public DNS records through DNS-over-HTTPS and returns A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, CAA, and SOA records with their TTLs, plus a CSV report. Do not use for internal DNS server visibility, reverse DNS of an IP address, or records outside the supported type list.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | The domain to look up, e.g. example.com or mail.example.com. |
| types | array | – | Record types to return, a subset of A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, CAA, SOA, e.g. ["MX", "TXT"]. Omit for A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, CAA, and SOA. |

How do I install the Zovo DNS Checker MCP server?
Zovo DNS Checker is a hosted endpoint at https://dns-checker.zovo.one/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.
