It supports a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint and a local npx stdio package. Public tools work without an account or API key, while account tools require browser sign-in through the hosted endpoint. Use it to investigate domains, review DNS changes, audit email and TLS settings, or inspect your nslookup.io monitors.
Primary Use Cases for Nslookup:
- Inspect DNS records and propagation for a domain
- Review proposed DNS changes before applying them
- Audit SSL, email security, and DNS health
- Check website uptime from multiple locations
