clipform_create_formCreate a new Clipform (interactive video-style form). Returns a viewer URL and form ID (an anonymous build's link is a private preview where answers are not saved). When connected via an authenticated MCP client (e.g. claude.ai), the form lands directly in the user's workspace. Anonymous sessions build into a temporary account of their own: forms stay drafts with a private preview link. Some results also include a one-time claim URL that signs the user into that account; relay it when present. If the user hasn't said what to build yet, offer to build their first form and suggest starting points: lead-gen, feedback, quiz, or something else. Node types (omit config to use defaults where shown): - choice: Single or multiple choice node with predefined options (supports options array). Config: choice ({enable_branching, show_answer_feedback, record_scores}), selection_mode ("single"|"multiple", default: "single"), allow_text_response (boolean, default: false), randomise_options (boolean, default: false), show_option_count (boolean, default: false), option_display ("list"|"letters", default: "list"). Defaults: {"selection_mode":"single","choice":{"enable_branching":false},"randomise_options":false,"show_option_count":false,"option_display":"list"} - open: Free-form text responses from users. Config: formats (array of {format, order}), max_recording_seconds (number, default: 120). Defaults: {"formats":[{"order":0,"format":"text"},{"order":1,"format":"audio"},{"order":2,"format":"video"}]} - details: Collect several fields on one screen - name, email, phone, address, date, and more. Config: title (string), fields (array of {id, type, label, order, required, is_custom}), description (string), consent_items (array of {id, name, label, order, type, document, require_scroll_to_accept}), Available field IDs: first_name, last_name, email, phone. Defaults: {"fields":[{"id":"first_name","type":"first_name","label":"First Name","enabled":true,"required":true},{"id":"email","type":"email","label":"Email","enabled":true,"required":true}],"consent_items":[]} - payment: Collect a payment from respondents inline, charged to a connected Stripe account. Config: amount (number), currency ("usd"|"eur"|"gbp"|"cad"|"aud", default: "usd"), provider ("stripe"|"paddle", default: "stripe"), workspace_integration_id (string), title (string), description (string). Defaults: {"amount":null,"currency":"usd","provider":"stripe"} - button: Simple button for acknowledgment or navigation (supports options array). Config: button_text (string, default: "Continue"), button_style ("primary"|"secondary"|"outline", default: "primary") - redirect: Redirect users to an external URL. Config: url (string), auto_redirect (boolean, default: true). Defaults: {"url":"","auto_redirect":true} - file_download: Provide a file for respondents to download. Config: files (array of {file_name, display_name, file_path, file_size, mime_type}), button_text (string, default: "Continue"), description (string) - end_screen: Final screen shown when form is completed. Config: title (string, default: "Thank you!"), message (string, default: "Your response has been submitted."), icon ("tick"|"trophy"|"star"|"crown"|"party"|"none", default: "tick"), show_share_button (boolean, default: false), cta_type ("none"|"restart"|"external_link", default: "none"), cta_text (string, default: "Continue"), cta_url (string). Defaults: {"title":"Thank you!","message":"Your response has been submitted."} All type definitions and config schemas are derived from @vid-master/config (node-types). Refer to the config descriptions above for the correct keys and shapes. AI-PROTECTED parameters have restrictions noted in their descriptions. Example: A form that asks a question, collects contact info, then finishes: { title: "Quick Survey", nodes: [ { type: "open", prompt: "What's your biggest challenge?" }, { type: "details", prompt: "Leave your details", config: { fields: [{ id: "first_name", required: true }, { id: "email", required: true }] } }, { type: "end_screen", prompt: "Thanks for your response!" } ] }clipform_import_formConvert a public Google Form, Typeform, or Tally form into a new Clipform. Supported URLs: Google Forms (docs.google.com or forms.gle - must be shared as "Anyone with the link"), Typeform (form.typeform.com/to/...), and Tally (tally.so - must be public). The source form must be publicly accessible; a private form's questions cannot be read. The new Clipform is created as a DRAFT - review it, then republish with clipform_update_form (is_live: true) once it's ready. Some question types don't map cleanly to a Clipform node and are skipped rather than guessed at; the result always reports exactly what was imported vs skipped, and why.clipform_list_formsList forms in your workspace with optional filtering. Returns paginated results (cursor-based). next_cursor is included when more results exist. To find or open a form by name, pass search with part of its title instead of paging through results. Needs a signed-in Clipform account (an anonymous session is asked to sign in).clipform_whoamiShow the current identity: auth mode (api key, oauth, session, or anonymous), active workspace, and plan limits. Needs a signed-in Clipform account (an anonymous session is asked to sign in).clipform_get_formRetrieve a form's details including all nodes in sequential order and their routing. Returns title, settings, and every node with its options, config, media status, and next node (from clipform_set_logic).clipform_update_formUpdate a form's title, publish status, settings, or tags. Only sends fields that are provided - omitted fields remain unchanged. AI-PROTECTED parameters have restrictions noted in their descriptions.clipform_delete_formMove a form and all its nodes to the trash. It stops accepting responses immediately and can be restored later. Requires user confirmation before it runs. Needs a signed-in Clipform account (an anonymous session is asked to sign in).clipform_get_resultsView response counts, choice/action answer breakdowns, and recent open-text answers for a form. Contact, file, draw, camera, and payment answers are counts only - use the dashboard for per-response detail. Needs a signed-in Clipform account (an anonymous session is asked to sign in).clipform_get_responsesList a Clipform form's individual responses (submissions) with time filtering - complements clipform_get_results (aggregates). Answers questions like 'what came in during the last 24 hours', 'what's the longest answer', 'what did people say'. Text answers plus a non-PII payment summary (amount and status); contact details, file uploads, and audio/video answers are redacted to placeholders and the customer's payment details stay in the dashboard (the responses URL from clipform_get_form). Responses are sorted newest first unless sort: 'oldest'. Needs a signed-in Clipform account (an anonymous session is asked to sign in).clipform_add_nodeAdd a new node to an existing form. Inserted before the end screen by default; after_node_id controls insertion position. Inserting into a linear flow automatically re-links the chain (the node before the insertion point points to the new node, which points to what followed) - you do not need clipform_set_logic for a simple insert. Branching still needs an explicit logic write. Node types and config schemas match clipform_create_form.clipform_update_nodeUpdate one or more existing nodes' text, type, config, or options. Pass multiple updates in one call instead of separate tool calls. Requires node IDs (returned by clipform_create_form, clipform_add_node, or clipform_get_form). Does not change node positions in the flow. All type definitions and config schemas are derived from @vid-master/config (node-types).clipform_delete_nodeDelete a node from a form. The logic chain is automatically re-linked (the previous node will point to the next one). Cannot delete the start node or the last end screen. Requires user confirmation before it runs.- +20 more on the listing page

dns_lookupQuery DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA) for a domain and validate email-related records, including DNSSEC presence and SPF/DMARC syntax, returning severity-rated diagnostics. Use this for a single authoritative answer about one domain. Use dns_propagation instead when you need to compare answers across multiple global resolvers (e.g., right after a change), or email_auth for a full SPF/DKIM/DMARC deliverability assessment. Read-only; requires no API key or authentication; subject to rate limiting. Returns a text report: status, KPI summary, detected issues, and recommended actions.ssl_checkInspect a host's served TLS/SSL certificate and connection: expiry date, issuer, SAN list, chain integrity, TLS version, and HSTS, returning an A+ to F grade weighted by certificate validity (40%), TLS version (25%), chain trust (15%), and HSTS (20%). Use this to diagnose certificate or HTTPS-handshake problems for one host. Use http_security instead to audit response security headers, or security_scan for an all-in-one domain report. Read-only: it completes a TLS handshake but sends no application data; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns a text report: grade, expiry/issuer KPIs, issues, and actions.http_securityFollow a URL's HTTP redirect chain and audit response security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, COOP, CORP, COEP, Permissions-Policy), grading A+ to F and flagging information leaks such as server-version disclosure. Use this for HTTP-layer/header posture. Use ssl_check instead for certificate or TLS-handshake issues, or security_scan for a full domain report. Read-only (an HTTP GET-style probe that sends no payload); requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns a text report: grade, header findings, redirect trace, issues, and actions.email_authAssess a domain's email authentication and deliverability posture: MX records, SPF, DMARC, DKIM (probes 15 common selectors), BIMI, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and DANE, plus a blacklist check across all MX hosts, returning a 0-100 deliverability score. Use this for a full sending/receiving readiness review of a domain. Use dns_lookup instead if you only need raw TXT/MX records, or email_header_analysis to diagnose a specific message that was already sent. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns a text report: score, per-mechanism KPIs, issues, and actions.port_scanProbe a host for a fixed set of common TCP ports (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, SMTP, DNS, and common databases) and report which are open, the service name, and the response time. BEHAVIOR: this makes an ACTIVE TCP connection to the target. It is non-intrusive — a connect probe only; it does not authenticate, send exploits, or transfer data — and changes nothing on the target (read-only), but the connection is visible in the target's logs, so only scan hosts you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Use this to confirm which services are exposed. Use ssl_check or http_security instead to assess a specific service's configuration. Requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns a per-port open/closed list with service names.dns_propagationQuery one DNS record across 8+ global public resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, OpenDNS, and more) simultaneously and report which resolvers return stale versus updated values. Use this after changing a record to confirm worldwide propagation. Use dns_lookup instead for a single authoritative answer with SPF/DMARC validation. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns per-resolver values and a consistency verdict.reverse_dnsResolve the PTR (reverse DNS) record for an IPv4 or IPv6 address and verify forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS) by checking that the PTR hostname resolves back to the same IP. Infers the hosting provider from PTR naming patterns. Use this to validate mail-server rDNS or identify a single IP's host. Use asn_lookup instead for network/BGP ownership of the IP. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns the PTR hostname, FCrDNS pass/fail, and a provider guess.asn_lookupLook up Autonomous System (ASN) / BGP information for an IP address or AS number: the network operator, announced prefixes, abuse contact, and a classification (cloud, CDN, ISP, hosting, or enterprise). Use this to identify who runs a network or whether an IP is cloud/CDN-hosted. Use reverse_dns instead for the host-level PTR name of a single IP. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns operator, prefixes, classification, and abuse contact.whois_lookupRetrieve domain registration data via RDAP (with WHOIS fallback): registrar, creation/expiry/update dates, nameservers, and EPP status flags, highlighting risk states such as clientHold and pendingDelete. Use this for ownership, lifecycle, and expiry questions about a registered domain. Use dns_lookup instead for live DNS records, or reverse_dns/asn_lookup for IP-level ownership. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns registrar, key dates, nameservers, and status flags.subdomain_discoveryEnumerate the subdomains of a domain from Certificate Transparency logs — fully passive (no packets are sent to the target; CT logs are public records of every TLS certificate ever issued). Flags operational-looking names (dev, staging, admin, vpn, legacy) and wildcard certificates, because forgotten subdomains are a common takeover path. Use this as the first recon step to map a domain's attack surface. Use dns_lookup to check whether a discovered name still resolves, or lookalike_domains for typosquat variants of the domain name itself. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns the subdomain count, risky-name count, wildcard flag, and the hostname list.lookalike_domainsGenerate the typosquat/lookalike variants of a domain that phishers actually register — homoglyph swaps (l→1, o→0, rn→m), TLD swaps (.com→.co), character omissions, transpositions, repetitions, hyphenations — and check which of them are currently registered (live NS delegation via DoH). Use this to assess brand-impersonation and phishing exposure for a domain the user is responsible for. A registered variant is NOT proof of abuse (it may be an unrelated legitimate site) — follow up with whois_lookup on each hit for its owner and registration date. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited. Returns generated/checked counts and the registered variants with the technique that produced each.ip_infoReport information about the caller's own public IP as seen by the server: IPv4/IPv6 address, ISP, ASN, approximate geolocation, and proxy/VPN heuristics. Takes no input — it reflects the egress IP of THIS MCP server's network, which is usually NOT the end user's IP. Use this to discover the server's outbound IP or test connectivity. To inspect a specific, known IP instead, use asn_lookup or reverse_dns. Read-only; requires no API key; rate-limited.- +8 more on the listing page
