iDig DNS MCP Server

A remote MCP server exposing 14 professional DNS diagnostic tools from the iDig API — built by Kedar Bhave ( Softricks ).

Connect any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) to real DNS infrastructure. Diagnose outages, audit email security, validate DNSSEC, check SSL certificates, trace propagation across 16 global resolvers, and more — all in plain English.

Live endpoint: https://mcp.softricks.net/sse

Quickstart

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idig-dns": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.softricks.net/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see idig-dns appear under Connectors.

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idig-dns": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.softricks.net/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Authentication

All tools require a token parameter. Get your token at api.softricks.net/idig/docs.
