What is MCP and why does DomainScan ship an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open specification from Anthropic that lets AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor call external tools with a consistent contract. DomainScan’s MCP server exposes every platform tool as a native function the AI can call — no scraping, no hand-rolled JSON parsing, no API wrapper code. Point Claude at the server, ask for a WHOIS or a DMARC audit in natural language, and the AI calls the tool directly.

DomainScan API + MCP: The Developer Guide
One JSON envelope across every tool. One API key. One MCP server. Everything the platform runs on is the same interface your code and your AI agent can hit — WHOIS, DNS, DMARC, SSL, blacklist, subdomain enumeration. Copy-paste examples in 8 languages, MCP config for Claude Code and Cursor, and the credit model explained in one page.
