Kiprio MCP tools 27
validate_emailValidate an email address for deliverability and quality. Performs multi-layer validation: RFC-5322 syntax check, MX record lookup to confirm the domain accepts mail, disposable/temporary domain detection (against 50,000+ known throwaway providers), and role-address detection (e.g. admin@, noreply@). Use this before sending email campaigns, checking signups, or cleaning a mailing list to reduce bounce rates and spam complaints. Args: email: The email address to validate (e.g. 'user@example.com'). Returns: valid (bool): True if the address appears deliverable. reason: Human-readable explanation of the result. mx_found (bool): Whether the domain has working mail servers. is_disposable (bool): True if a known throwaway email provider. is_role_address (bool): True if a shared/role address (admin@, info@).dns_lookupLook up DNS records for a domain across multiple record types. Queries authoritative DNS servers for the specified record types and returns all matching records with TTL values. Useful for diagnosing email deliverability (MX records), verifying domain ownership (TXT), tracing CDN configuration (CNAME), and checking propagation status. Args: domain: Domain name to look up (e.g. 'example.com', 'mail.example.com'). record_types: Comma-separated record types to query. Supported: A (IPv4 addresses), AAAA (IPv6), MX (mail servers), TXT (verification, SPF, DKIM), NS (nameservers), CNAME (aliases), SOA (zone authority). Default: 'A'. Example: 'A,MX,TXT' to check all email-related records at once. Returns: records: List of DNS records, each with type, value, and ttl. query_time_ms: How long the DNS resolution took.whois_lookupRetrieve WHOIS registration data for a domain name. Returns publicly available registration details from WHOIS databases. Useful for domain due diligence, checking expiry before purchasing, identifying registrar, or investigating domain ownership. Note: Many registrars apply GDPR redaction to registrant contact details. Technical data (nameservers, dates, registrar) is always available. Args: domain: Domain to look up (e.g. 'example.com'). Supports most TLDs. Returns: registrar: Registrar name and IANA ID. registered_at: Domain creation date (ISO 8601). expires_at: Expiry date — domain may be purchased after this. updated_at: Last modification date. nameservers: List of authoritative nameservers. status: EPP status codes (e.g. clientTransferProhibited). registrant: Registrant contact (may be redacted under GDPR).ssl_checkInspect the SSL/TLS certificate for a host. Connects to the host on port 443 and retrieves the full certificate chain. Returns validity status, expiry countdown (critical for alerting), issuer details, Subject Alternative Names (SANs), and cipher suite information. Use to monitor certificate expiry, verify correct certificate installation, check SANs cover all required subdomains, or audit cipher strength. Args: host: Hostname to check (e.g. 'example.com', 'api.example.com'). Do not include https:// or path components. Returns: valid (bool): Whether the certificate is currently valid and trusted. subject: Common name on the certificate. issuer: Certificate Authority that issued it. issued_at: Certificate issuance date. expires_at: Certificate expiry date. days_remaining: Days until expiry (negative = already expired). sans: List of Subject Alternative Names (all covered hostnames). chain_length: Number of certificates in the chain.ip_lookupGeolocate an IP address and detect VPN, Tor, and datacenter usage. Returns geolocation data (country, city, coordinates, timezone, ISP) plus threat intelligence signals: whether the IP is a known VPN exit node, Tor relay, or datacenter/hosting provider. Includes a composite threat score. Use for fraud detection, access control, personalising content by region, or investigating suspicious traffic in server logs. Args: ip: IPv4 or IPv6 address to look up (e.g. '8.8.8.8', '2001:4860:4860::8888'). Returns: ip: The queried IP. country, country_code: Full country name and ISO-3166 code. region, city: Geographic subdivision and city name. latitude, longitude: Approximate coordinates (city-level precision). timezone: IANA timezone (e.g. 'America/New_York'). isp: Internet Service Provider name. is_vpn (bool): Known VPN exit node. is_tor (bool): Tor exit relay. is_datacenter (bool): Hosted in a cloud/datacenter AS. threat_score: 0.0–1.0 composite risk score.screenshot_urlCapture a screenshot of a web page and return it as a base64-encoded PNG. Renders the page in a headless Chromium browser with JavaScript execution, waits for network idle (all resources loaded), then captures the viewport or full page. Useful for visual regression checks, archiving page state, generating previews, or letting an AI model analyse page layout. Args: url: Full URL of the page to capture (must include https://). width: Viewport width in pixels (default 1280, range 320–3840). height: Viewport height in pixels (default 800, range 200–2160). full_page: If True, capture the full scrollable page height rather than just the visible viewport. May be slow for long pages.

get_drawing_guideReturn the drawing guide: XML format, layout, edge routing, style and editing rules. start_session already returns it; call this only if the guide is no longer in your context. With topic, returns a short XML reference for tables, layers or groups.get_shape_libraryGet the style syntax and shape names of a draw.io icon library. Call this BEFORE drawing with cloud, network or other icon shapes, and use the exact names it returns; never guess them. Libraries: - Cloud: aws4, azure2, gcp2, alibaba_cloud, openstack, salesforce - Networking: cisco19, network, kubernetes, vvd, rack - Business: bpmn, lean_mapping - General: flowchart, basic, arrows2, infographic, sitemap - UI/Mockups: android, material_design - Enterprise: citrix, sap, mscae, atlassian - Engineering: fluidpower, electrical, pid, cabinets, floorplan - Icons: webiconsstart_sessionStart a new diagram session, or continue a saved one with session_id, and open the browser for real-time preview. Starts an embedded server and opens a browser window with draw.io. The browser will show diagram updates as they happen. The result includes the drawing guide; follow it when drawing.list_saved_diagramsList the diagrams saved by earlier sessions (auto-save files), newest first, with their pages. Continue one with start_session session_id=<id>; the file path also works with load_diagram.create_new_diagramCreate a NEW diagram, REPLACING the whole document: every page and any unsaved user changes (the previous state stays in History). To add a tab use add_page; to change cells use edit_diagram. Before using icon shapes (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Cisco...), call get_shape_library first. Follow the drawing guide returned by start_session (call get_drawing_guide if it is no longer in your context). Pass screenshot: true on the last call of a complex diagram to check the result. Accepted xml: 1) Only the mxCell elements of one page (recommended). The server adds <mxfile>, <mxGraphModel>, <root> and the root cells "0" and "1": <mxCell id="2" value="Shape" style="rounded=1;" x="40" y="40" w="120" h="60"/> 2) A bare <mxGraphModel> with <root> (one page). 3) A full <mxfile> with one or more <diagram> pages. Every page's <root> must start with <mxCell id="0"/><mxCell id="1" parent="0"/>. Rules: cells are siblings (never nested), ids are unique per page and start from "2", parent only for shapes inside a container, no XML comments, and shapes stay within x 0 to 800 and y 0 to 600. A style used by several cells is defined once with <mxStyle name="..." value="..."/> before the cells and used by name (see the drawing guide); html=1 and whiteSpace=wrap are added automatically. To clear the canvas to one blank page, send only the two root cells <mxCell id="0"/><mxCell id="1" parent="0"/>; the previous diagram stays in History.load_diagramLoad a .drawio diagram into the current session, REPLACING the entire diagram (all pages). To change an existing file, load it here, edit with edit_diagram, then export_diagram to the same path; never rewrite the file by hand. Provide ONE of two mutually exclusive sources: 'path' (the server reads the file from disk — you do NOT need to read the file yourself or pass its XML through create_new_diagram) or 'xml' (the raw file content you already have — from another tool, a repository read, or an API response — so no temporary file needs to be written first). Both accept plain XML and draw.io's compressed save format. .drawio.svg (Editable SVG, the format export_diagram writes) is accepted too; .png files (also draw.io's editable PNG) and plain .svg files cannot be loaded. After loading from 'path' (or from compressed 'xml'), call get_diagram before edit_diagram — you haven't seen the file's cell IDs yet. Plain-XML 'xml' content you supplied yourself is already known and can be edited immediately.edit_diagramEdit a specific page in the current diagram by ID-based operations (update/add/delete cells). All-or-nothing: if any operation fails, nothing is applied and every failure is listed. Freshness: the server remembers the last diagram state you have seen, and rejects this call only if the user edited the diagram in the browser since then. You do NOT need to call get_diagram before every edit: a rejected call changes nothing and includes the current XML of the page, so you can rebuild your operations and retry. Call get_diagram first only when you don't know the current diagram content (cell IDs, structure) — e.g. the diagram wasn't created in this conversation, or you're unsure your memory of it is accurate. Multi-page targeting: - page_id / page_name / page_index are optional; when all omitted, the FIRST page is targeted - Use list_pages to discover what pages exist Operations: - add: Add a new cell. Provide cell_id (new unique id within the page) and new_xml. One cell per operation. - update: Replace an existing cell by its id. Provide cell_id and complete new_xml. - delete: Remove a cell by its id. Only cell_id is needed. Its children and connected edges are deleted too, so give only a container's id. For add/update, new_xml is the complete mxCell (inside its <object> wrapper when it has custom data, see the drawing guide) in the compact form (a shape with x, y, w, h; an edge with source and target). No XML comments. Every " inside new_xml must be escaped as \" in the JSON. Example - Add a rectangle on the default (first) page: {"operations": [{"operation": "add", "cell_id": "rect-1", "new_xml": "<mxCell id=\"rect-1\" value=\"Hello\" style=\"rounded=1;\" x=\"100\" y=\"100\" w=\"120\" h=\"60\"/>"}]} Example - Delete a cell on the default page: {"operations": [{"operation": "delete", "cell_id": "rect-1"}]}get_diagramGet the current diagram XML (fetches latest from browser, including user's manual edits). Call this when you don't know the current diagram content (cell IDs, pages, structure) — e.g. before editing a diagram you didn't create in this conversation, or after edit_diagram was rejected because the user changed the diagram in the browser. Returns the full <mxfile> by default. If a page selector is provided, returns just that page's <mxGraphModel> embedded in a one-page <mxfile> wrapper.get_selectionReturn the cells the user has selected in the preview: their ids and labels, for edges the source and target ids, for shapes the position and size, and the page they are on. Call this when the user refers to what they selected ("this box", "these arrows", "the selected shapes"), then act on the ids with edit_diagram. Says when nothing is selected. Needs the preview tab to be open.screenshot_diagramRender the diagram in the preview and return it as a PNG image, so you can see your own result. Call this once after drawing or heavily editing a complex diagram, then fix overlaps and edges that cross shapes. Without a page selector it shows the page on screen; with one it renders that page without changing what the user sees. Needs the preview tab to be open.export_diagramExport the current diagram to a file. Supports .drawio (XML), .png, .svg, and .drawio.svg (an SVG with the diagram embedded, which draw.io and load_diagram can open again). The format is auto-detected from the file extension, or can be specified explicitly. Images get a 20 px margin; a PNG has a white background (or the page's own background color) unless transparent is true. Multi-page behaviour: - .drawio with NO page selector: writes the full <mxfile> (all pages). - .drawio with a page selector: writes a single-page <mxfile> containing only that page. - .png / .svg with NO page selector: exports the currently active page in the browser. - .png with a page selector: renders that page without changing what the user sees. - .svg / .drawio.svg with a page selector: temporarily loads that page into the browser, captures it, then restores the full document (the user sees a brief flicker).list_pagesList every page (tab) in the current diagram. Returns each page's id, name, 0-based index, and cell count. Use this to discover what pages exist before targeting one with edit_diagram, get_diagram, export_diagram, rename_page, or delete_page.- +4 more on the listing page
