@apifreaks/mcp

The official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for APIFreaks. Add it to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client and your AI can instantly query live weather, domains, IPs, DNS records, SSL certs, currency rates, commodity prices, screenshots, and more.

What can you ask once it's connected?

🌦	"What's the 7-day forecast for Tokyo and should I bring an umbrella?"
🔒	"Check stripe.com's SSL cert — is it valid and when does it expire?"
🌍	"Who registered openai.com and when? Has the WHOIS record changed recently?"
💱	"Convert 2500 USD to EUR, GBP, and JPY at today's live rate."
🔍	"Check if these 20 domain names are available for registration."
📡	"What DNS records does github.com have? Show me the full MX and TXT records."
