Technitium Safe MCP

Technitium Safe MCP

by bgauger

Technitium Safe MCP

A focused, read-only MCP server for bounded reachability checks and explicit DNS lookups against allowlisted Technitium DNS servers. Alpha: tests are synthetic; compatibility with a live Technitium deployment is not certified.

Install and run

Requires Python 3.11+, uv, and dig.

uv sync --extra test
export TECHNITIUM_SAFE_SERVERS=primary=dns-primary.example.invalid
uv run technitium-safe-mcp

The process speaks MCP over stdio and does not load .env. Server aliases/hosts and probe ports are allowlisted configuration.

Safety

No Technitium API or mutation is exposed. Server count, port count/range, DNS names/types, subprocess duration, and output bytes are bounded. DNS names cannot begin with option syntax, and dig receives a fixed argument vector without a shell. Audit data is bounded but includes queried names; protect it accordingly. See security design.

Verify

uv run --extra test pytest
uv run python -m compileall -q src tests
uv build

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools, server_health and dns_lookup, have clearly distinct purposes: one checks server status, the other performs DNS resolution. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tool names follow a consistent lowercase_with_underscores pattern, using noun compounds ('server_health', 'dns_lookup'). The style is uniform and predictable, though a verb_noun pattern is not used, consistency is maintained.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 2 tools, the server is at the borderline of being too thin. While the tools are functional, they represent a minimal surface that may not justify a standalone MCP server for meaningful use.

    Completeness1/5

    For a DNS-related server, the tool surface is severely incomplete. Only health checking and basic DNS lookup are provided, with no support for managing zones, records, DNSSEC, or other essential DNS operations. This leaves major gaps for any typical DNS administration workflow.

      Enables AI agents to run reconnaissance tasks such as DNS, WHOIS, certificate transparency, TLS certificate, HTTP header, and limited port checks against explicitly authorized domains and IPs. Scope permissions, deny rules, default-deny resolution pinning, rate budgets, and append-only audit logging are all enforced inside the server so an out-of-scope request cannot be expressed.
