ProbeOps MCP Server

ProbeOps MCP Server

npm version License: MIT Node.js MCP

MCP server for running infrastructure diagnostics from 6 global regions. SSL checks, DNS lookups, ping, whois, port checks, traceroute, latency tests, and more — each executed simultaneously from US East, US West, EU Central, Canada, India, and Australia.

Works instantly — no API key required. Run npx @probeops/mcp-server and get 11 diagnostic tools with 10 free calls per day. Add an API key to unlock all 21 tools, 6 regions, and higher limits.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any Model Context Protocol compatible client.

Quick Start

Option 1: Try It Now (No API Key)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add probeops -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server

Codex:

codex mcp add probeops -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline (add to .mcp.json or your client's MCP config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "probeops": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

That's it. You get 11 tools with 10 calls per day and 2 probe regions — no signup, no configuration.

Option 2: Full Access (Free API Key)

Sign up at probeops.com and create an API key from the dashboard. Then add it to your config:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add probeops -e PROBEOPS_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server

Codex (add to ~/.codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.probeops]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"]

[mcp_servers.probeops.env]
PROBEOPS_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "probeops": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "PROBEOPS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Resources

URI

Description

probeops://regions

Probe regions with location, country, and node count

Geo-proxy regions with FQDNs and proxy URLs

probeops://usage

Current API usage, remaining quota, active token status

Global Regions

All diagnostic tools run from these 6 regions simultaneously:

Geo-Proxy Token Management

The server manages proxy tokens automatically:

  • A single token works across all 6 regions. Switching regions does not consume quota.

  • Daily quota = total hours of proxy browsing per day.

  • Quota resets at midnight UTC.

Development

git clone https://github.com/kumarprobeops/probeops-mcp-server.git
cd probeops-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Test locally:

PROBEOPS_API_KEY=your-key node dist/index.js

Requirements

  • Node.js >= 18.0.0

  • Playwright (optional) - only needed for geo_browse screenshots

    npx playwright install chromium

    Without Playwright, geo_browse falls back to HTTP fetch (raw HTML, no screenshots).

FAQ

Q: How is this different from running curl or dig locally? Every check runs from 6 global regions simultaneously. You see DNS propagation, latency, and availability from the perspective of real users worldwide, not your local network.

Q: Do I need to install anything besides Node.js? No. npx -y @probeops/mcp-server handles everything. Playwright is optional (only for geo_browse screenshots).

Q: Can I use this in CI/CD pipelines? Yes. Set PROBEOPS_API_KEY as an environment variable and call the MCP server from any MCP-compatible tool.

Q: Is the API key sent securely? Yes. All communication uses HTTPS. The key is sent via the X-API-Key header, never in URLs or logs.
