MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for domain and URL security analysis powered by GridinSoft Inspector.

🛡️ Trust & Safety for AI

This MCP server allows your AI agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to verify any website or link. It helps answer the critical question: "Can I trust this site?"

✨ Key Features

Domain Reputation - Check if a site is well-known, safe, or suspicious.
Phishing Detection - Identify fraudulent pages designed to steal credentials.
Malware Scanning - Detect links hosting harmful files or scripts.
Real-time Engine - Access GridinSoft's global threat database.

🎁 Free Plan

Every new account gets 100 API credits per month for free. No credit card required.

🚀 Real-World Scenarios

Integrate GridinSoft's threat intelligence directly into your decision-making process:

Secure Development: Automatically audit third-party API endpoints, documentation links, and CDNs before adding them to your codebase.
Automated Documentation Review: Ask your AI to scan all external links in a README or technical specification to ensure no broken or malicious redirects exist.
Incident Response: Paste suspicious logs or email headers into your IDE and have the AI immediately categorize mentioned domains (e.g., C2 servers, phishing drops).
Proactive Security Layers: Instruct your AI agents to "never summarize content from domains with a reputation score below 70" to prevent accidental exposure to malicious content.
Competitive Intelligence: Safely explore new industry sites and verify the legitimacy of emerging platforms mentioned in market research tasks.
E-Commerce Safety: Before your AI agent recommends a product or uses prices from an unfamiliar online store, have it verify the shop's trust score first. Avoid scam sites that offer "too good to be true" deals.
