DNSDumpster MCP Server
# DNSDumpster - MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with the DNSDumpster API, enabling AI assistants to perform detailed DNS reconnaissance through natural language requests.
## Features
- Query domain DNS records through AI assistants
- Retrieve detailed information about:
- A records (with associated IP and ASN information)
- CNAME records
- MX records
- TXT records
- NS records
- Banner information where available
- Support for pagination (Plus accounts)
- Rate limiting and caching

## Claude Desktop Configuration
Add to your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS or `%AppData%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"dnsdumpster": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-dnsdumpster"],
"env": {
"DNSDUMPSTER_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
```
## Usage
1. Set your API key:
```bash
export DNSDUMPSTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```
2. Run the server:

# Using uvx (recommended)
uvx mcp-dnsdumpster
# Or if installed from source
uv run server.py
```
### Example Prompts

Scored across 7 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific DNS record types or broader queries. The first five tools each handle a different record type (A, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT), while query_domain retrieves all records and search_subdomains focuses on subdomain discovery. There is no functional overlap between tools.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case naming. The pattern is perfectly uniform: get_<record_type>_records for specific queries, query_domain for comprehensive retrieval, and search_subdomains for subdomain discovery. No deviations or mixed conventions exist.
With 7 tools, this server is well-scoped for DNS reconnaissance. The count covers all major DNS record types plus comprehensive and subdomain queries, making each tool essential without redundancy. This aligns perfectly with typical DNS investigation needs.
The toolset provides complete coverage for DNS domain investigation. It includes all common record types (A, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT), a comprehensive query tool, and subdomain search functionality. There are no obvious gaps for the server's stated purpose of DNS data retrieval.
