DMARKOFF MCP

DMARC analytics inside your AI assistant.

DMARKOFF MCP connects your DMARC monitoring data to AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf — through the Model Context Protocol. Instead of opening a dashboard and building filters, you ask a question and get an answer with real numbers behind it.

Endpoint: https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/mcp
Requires: an active DMARKOFF account and an API key from app.dmarkoff.com/account/mcp

What it looks like in practice

"Which domains dropped in compliance over the last 14 days?"

The AI checks health across all your projects and surfaces the ones that changed — ranked by how much.

"Why is SPF failing on acme-transact.com? Who's the problem sender?"

The AI checks return paths, finds the sending source (say, SendGrid using its own bounce domain instead of yours), and tells you what to fix.

"Anything unusual in email traffic compared to last week?"

The AI compares yesterday's stats against a 14-day baseline — compliance rate, unknown sender volume, message counts. The kind of check most teams skip because setting it up manually takes too long.

Claude Desktop

Click + in the chat window → Connectors → Manage Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL, complete the OAuth flow.

Or edit the config file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dmarkoff": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http dmarkoff https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor

Settings → Tools & MCP → Add new MCP server, select Streamable HTTP, enter the URL.

Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dmarkoff": {
      "url": "https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (Business / Enterprise / Edu)

Enable Developer Mode, then go to Settings → Apps → Create App:

• MCP Server URL: https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/mcp

• Auth type: OAuth

• Client ID: chatgpt

• Client Secret: your DMARKOFF API key

• Authorization URL: https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/oauth/authorize

• Token URL: https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/oauth/token

• Scope: leave empty — the server issues unscoped tokens

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dmarkoff": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.dmarkoff.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Windsurf uses serverUrl, not url.

Things to ask

Show me an overview of all my DMARC projects

Which domains have Critical severity right now?

Why is SPF failing on domain.com? Which senders are the problem?

Are there anomalies in email traffic over the last 24 hours?

Show me source details for domain.com grouped by ISP — only rows where SPF is failing

We publish p=reject on domain.com — why did some mail still get delivered?

Gmail is throttling us on domain.com. What are they actually complaining about?

Our SPF record is at 10 lookups — which includes still carry mail and which can go?

Compliance on domain.com dropped last week. Did the DMARC or SPF record change?

Live DNS checks — these work for any domain, monitored or not:

Check the SPF record for example.com — are there too many DNS lookups?

What DMARC policy does example.com have right now?

Look up the DKIM key for selector "google" on example.com

Onboarding a new domain — the assistant registers it and hands you the exact TXT record to publish:

Add example.com to my project and tell me what to put in DNS

We already have DMARC on example.com — add our reporting address without touching the rest of the record

Tools

Analytics (require API key)

Live DNS (API key, but no monitored project)

Onboarding (requires API key and owner access to the project)

Every tool is read-only (readOnlyHint: true per MCP spec) except add_domain. That one creates domains — it never updates or deletes anything — and each non-parked domain it adds consumes a paid domain slot on your plan.

Security

• API key auth — access is scoped to your DMARKOFF account

• OAuth 2.1 (RFC 8414, RFC 9728) — compatible with standard MCP flows used by Claude.ai and ChatGPT

• Project-level isolation — the AI only sees what your API key has access to

• Per-API-key rate limiting — protection against accidental overuse

• Nothing is modified or deleted — every tool is read-only except add_domain, which only creates domains in a project you own, and only when you ask for it

How this differs from other DMARC MCP tools

DNS checks tell you SPF is failing. DMARKOFF MCP tells you which specific sender is causing the failure, how many messages it affected over the last two weeks, and what the fix is. That data comes from your aggregate reports — the actual traffic — not just what's published in DNS.

It also answers the questions that come after: whether the problem is new (every domain report carries the previous period beside the current one), what a record looked like before someone edited it, why a receiver ignored the policy you published, and which parts of an oversized SPF record are still earning their DNS lookups.

Troubleshooting

Tools don't appear in the client
→ Confirm your client supports Streamable HTTP (not just SSE).
→ Some clients need a full restart after config changes.

401 Unauthorized
→ Check your API key at app.dmarkoff.com/account/mcp.

"No projects found"
→ The API key needs access to at least one project. Log into app.dmarkoff.com to verify.

OAuth errors
→ The Client Secret field takes your DMARKOFF API key, not your account password.
