Pulsedive Tools (2)
pulsedive_indicator
Is this IP/domain/URL/hash malicious — risk score + threats. Looks up an indicator of compromise (IOC) in Pulsedive and returns its risk level, contributing risk factors, associated threats, and intel feeds. Example: pulsedive_indicator({ indicator: "8.8.8.8", _apiKey: "your-key" })
pulsedive_explore
Search Pulsedive threat DB with a query. Uses the Pulsedive Explore query language (boolean field filters) to find indicators matching criteria like type, risk, feed, or threat. Example: pulsedive_explore({ q: "type=domain and risk=high", limit: 20, _apiKey: "your-key" })
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Ignite UI MCP Server is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Pulsedive belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Ignite UI MCP Server when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Pulsedive when you require tools for developer tools.
