MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for domain and URL security analysis powered by [GridinSoft Inspector](https://inspector.gridinsoft.com).

## 🛡️ Trust & Safety for AI

This MCP server allows your AI agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to verify any website or link. It helps answer the critical question: "**Can I trust this site?**"

## ✨ Key Features

- **Domain Reputation** - Check if a site is well-known, safe, or suspicious.
- **Phishing Detection** - Identify fraudulent pages designed to steal credentials.
- **Malware Scanning** - Detect links hosting harmful files or scripts.
- **Real-time Engine** - Access GridinSoft's global threat database.

## 🎁 Free Plan

Every new account gets **100 API credits per month for free**. No credit card required.

## 🚀 Real-World Scenarios

Integrate GridinSoft's threat intelligence directly into your decision-making process:

- **Secure Development**: Automatically audit third-party API endpoints, documentation links, and CDNs before adding them to your codebase.
- **Automated Documentation Review**: Ask your AI to scan all external links in a README or technical specification to ensure no broken or malicious redirects exist.
- **Incident Response**: Paste suspicious logs or email headers into your IDE and have the AI immediately categorize mentioned domains (e.g., C2 servers, phishing drops).
- **Proactive Security Layers**: Instruct your AI agents to "never summarize content from domains with a reputation score below 70" to prevent accidental exposure to malicious content.
- **Competitive Intelligence**: Safely explore new industry sites and verify the legitimacy of emerging platforms mentioned in market research tasks.
- **E-Commerce Safety**: Before your AI agent recommends a product or uses prices from an unfamiliar online store, have it verify the shop's trust score first. Avoid scam sites that offer "too good to be true" deals.
