## Description
MCP server for domain and URL security analysis powered by GridinSoft Inspector, enabling AI agents to verify website and link safety.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **inspect_domain** — Comprehensive domain security profile. Essential for checking if a site is safe, trustworthy, or a scam. Returns reputation (0-100), security verdicts, hosting info, and risk tags. Use this tool when users ask about site reliability, trust, or safety.
- **check_domain_safety** — Semantic alias for inspect_domain. Quick check if a website is safe, malicious, or a scam. Returns reputation score and security verdict.
- **get_domain_reputation** — Semantic alias for inspect_domain. Get the trust and reputation score (0-100) for a domain.
- **scan_url** — Deep forensic URL analysis. Detects phishing, malware, and fraudulent redirects. Use this to verify specific links, login pages, or suspicious URLs. Provides forensic data including screenshots and network traffic analysis.
- **get_balance** — Check remaining API credits and subscription plan status

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-inspector": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector"],
    "env": {
      "GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

## Documentation

## What gridinsoft/mcp-inspector MCP server does

The gridinsoft/mcp-inspector MCP server connects an MCP-compatible AI client to GridinSoft Inspector’s domain and URL analysis service. It is intended for checking whether websites and links appear trustworthy, malicious, fraudulent, or otherwise risky.

Domain analysis returns a reputation score from 0 to 100, security verdicts, hosting and IP information, registrar history, and security or risk tags. URL analysis is aimed at deeper investigation of a specific link, such as a login page or shortened URL. Its results can include metadata, the effective destination, the complete redirect chain, DNS and SSL details, screenshots, network traffic, cookies, and console logs where the account plan supports those forensic fields.

## How it works

An MCP client sends a domain or URL to the relevant tool, and the server queries GridinSoft Inspector. `inspect_domain` provides the comprehensive domain profile. `check_domain_safety` and `get_domain_reputation` are semantic aliases for domain inspection, suited to prompts focused specifically on safety or the reputation score. `scan_url` performs forensic analysis of a URL, including phishing, malware, and redirect checks.

The service uses API credits for analysis. Domain inspection costs 3 credits, URL scanning costs 10 credits, and checking the account balance does not consume credits. The returned information can help an agent decide whether to summarize content, follow a link, review a third-party endpoint, or flag a domain for further investigation.

## Setup and configuration

The gridinsoft/mcp-inspector MCP server is distributed as the npm package `@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector`. Run it through `npx` and provide the `GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY` environment variable:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gridinsoft": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gridinsoft/mcp-inspector"],
      "env": {
        "GRIDINSOFT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Create an account through the GridinSoft Inspector website and retrieve the key from the profile page. Claude Desktop can use the JSON configuration above. Cursor and Windsurf can be configured with the command `npx -y @gridinsoft/mcp-inspector` and the same environment variable.

## Tools and capabilities

- `inspect_domain`: Retrieves a detailed domain security profile, including reputation, verdicts, hosting information, and risk tags.
- `check_domain_safety`: Provides a safety-oriented alias for domain inspection.
- `get_domain_reputation`: Provides a reputation-focused alias for domain inspection and returns the 0–100 score.
- `scan_url`: Examines a specific URL for phishing, malware, redirects, and forensic details.
- `get_balance`: Shows remaining API credits and the current subscription status without consuming credits.

## Limitations and notes

The service requires a GridinSoft API key and consumes credits for domain and URL analysis. The free plan includes 100 credits per month without requiring a credit card. Paid plans listed in the provided material include 1,500 credits per month on Basic and 5,000 on Standard; the current pricing page should be consulted for complete plan details.

Some forensic URL fields, including screenshots, network traffic, cookies, and console logs, are identified as available on paid plans. Results are security assessments from GridinSoft Inspector and should be treated as input to an agent’s decision process rather than as a guarantee that a site is safe.
