How to install Dechonet MCP in Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic CLI
Add the server
bashclaude mcp add dechonet -e 'DECHONET_API_KEY=<DECHONET_API_KEY>' -e 'DECHONET_SESSION_COOKIE=<DECHONET_SESSION_COOKIE>' -- npx -y dechonet-mcpFill in your credentials

bashclaude mcp listSharing it with your team?
Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).
Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes (e.g. phishing_link_check, exposure_map, security_scan). It discovers them automatically.

What tools does Dechonet MCP expose? (33)
Taken from the project's README — the server itself was not queried, so check its docs for the exact schemas.
- phishing_link_checkIs this link a scam? — paste a text message or URL; follows shorteners, checks domain age, Korean brand impersonation, APK downloads, phishing feeds
- exposure_mapAdmin pages open to the internet? — subdomains from CT, each opened once: admin screens, staging, dev tools, VPN logins, default pages, directory listings (counts; per-host detail for the verified owner on the web report)
- security_scanComprehensive scan — 9 checks in parallel, 0-100 Health Score, A-F grade
- dns_lookupDNS records + DNSSEC + SPF/DMARC validation
- ssl_checkSSL/TLS certificate, chain, expiry, HSTS, CT history, A-F grade
- http_securityHTTP redirect trace + 10 security headers audit, A-F grade
- email_authSPF, DMARC, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, DANE + blacklist check
- port_scanOpen TCP ports with service identification
- dns_propagationDNS propagation across 6 public resolvers
- reverse_dnsPTR record + FCrDNS verification
- asn_lookupASN/BGP network identification + abuse contact
- whois_lookupRDAP/WHOIS domain registration data
- subdomain_discoveryPassive subdomain enumeration from CT logs, operational-name flags (dev/staging/admin), wildcard detection
- lookalike_domainsTyposquat variants that are actually registered — homoglyph, affix (brand-login), TLD swap, keyboard slips — with the domain's own defensive registrations separated out
- owasp_checkOWASP-mapped checks that can be observed passively (headers, TLS, exposed files), honest about what is out of scope
- impersonation_exposureBrand impersonation exposure grade: third-party lookalikes + exposed operational subdomains + wildcard certs
- golive_checkGo-live readiness — DNS, propagation, SSL, HTTP, registration in one READY / CAUTION / NOT READY verdict
- domain_historyPast nameservers, A/AAAA, MX, certificate issuer, registrar (and an IP's ASN/PTR) with first and last seen — from DechoNet's own observations, not passive DNS
- infrastructure_pivotOther domains DechoNet saw with the same nameserver, IP, MX, issuer or registrar. Needs a free API key (`DECHONET_API_KEY`); shared infrastructure returns a count only
- domain_changesWhat changed since the last check — status, grade, issuer, DNS, issues. Works from lookup history even without a watch
- pqc_readinessPost-quantum TLS readiness: hybrid X25519MLKEM768 key exchange, whether the origin server or a CDN edge provides it, certificate signature algorithms. External indicator, not a full PQC audit
- mcp_server_checkBefore you connect a remote MCP server: authentication and OAuth metadata, tools that act (commands, files, messages, payments, secrets), agent-steering text in tool descriptions, CORS/Origin, HTTPS. Initialize and tools/list only — no tool
- watch_domainRegister a domain for daily re-checks (SSL, DNS, HTTP, RDAP) so `domain_changes` accumulates a timeline. Writes a watch; idempotent
- set_expectationsState what a domain should show from outside (a header present, DMARC enforcing, an issue gone, a grade, certificate days, DNS records, HTTPS answering), check it now with fresh reads and every day after. Each result comes with a signed obs
- check_before_actionBefore logging in, paying, downloading or submitting: whether the page impersonates a brand, how new the domain is, whether it was flagged before, and — when the caller reports the page structure as host names — whether the card fields sit
- report_pageReport a page (phishing, fake payment window, hidden instructions for AI agents, malicious download, or a verdict that looks wrong), an MCP server whose tool descriptions steer agents, or a network anomaly (the certificate or addresses you
- verify_expectationsCheck a stored set (by id) or a one-off list from outside now — after a change, to see whether it is visible yet
- ip_infoPublic IP, ISP, ASN, proxy detection
- email_header_analysisEmail delivery route tracing + auth results
- subnet_calcCIDR subnet calculator (offline)
- asm_nuclei_startStart a limited active check (Nuclei) on a verified asset from your attack-surface report. Needs current DNS TXT ownership, the exact root URL from that report and `confirm: "asm-nuclei-v2"`. Automatically runs `asm_verify` before creating
- asm_nuclei_statusProgress, coverage and sanitized findings. Partial or failed is not a clean result; technology detection is not proof of a vulnerability. Never starts requests
- asm_nuclei_cancelStop new requests and end the job. Requests already sent cannot be recalled

[dechonet.com](https://dechonet.com) · Remote MCP (no install) · Phishing link check · Free web tools · HTTP API · Detection benchmark · Status
Domain security reconnaissance for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.
30 tools. No API key needed for non-commercial use. Phishing/smishing link checks, exposed admin page checks (admin screens, test servers, dev tools left open), DNS, SSL/TLS, post-quantum TLS readiness, HTTP security headers, email authentication, port scan, DNS propagation, reverse DNS, ASN/BGP, RDAP/WHOIS, subdomain discovery (CT logs), lookalike/typosquat detection, OWASP-mapped observable checks, brand-impersonation exposure, go-live readiness, MCP server checks before you connect one, domain change history — what changed since the last check — infrastructure history and pivots (past nameservers/IPs/issuers, and other domains seen on the same rare infrastructure), and a daily watch you can set from the agent.
Every result comes back interpreted, not just as raw JSON: a status, the key numbers, each issue with severity and confidence, and the concrete action to take. That is what an agent needs to tell a human what to do next.
Part of [DechoNet](https://dechonet.com). Every tool here is also a free web tool at [dechonet.com](https://dechonet.com) — no sign-up — backed by error-fix guides. This package brings the same checks to AI agents.
