MCP server for NetIntel — DNS, SSL, WHOIS, email security, OSINT via x402 micropayments

What is the Netintel MCP server?

Netintel MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP server for NetIntel — DNS, SSL, WHOIS, email security, OSINT via x402 micropayments.

What you get

MCP server for NetIntel — 108 network intelligence tools for AI agents. DNS, SSL, WHOIS, email security, cloud fingerprinting, OSINT and more. Pay-per-call via x402 — the NetIntel API accepts USDC on Base or Solana; this MCP server pays on Base. No API keys needed — just a wallet with USDC.

What the assistant can call

Once Netintel is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • netintel_dns_lookup — DNS lookup / nslookup / dig API — resolve the common DNS record types…
  • netintel_ssl_analyze — Performs a TLS handshake to inspect the certificate chain, probes…
  • netintel_redirect_trace — Follows a URL through its full redirect chain (up to 20 hops)…
  • netintel_security_headers — Fetches a URL and evaluates 10 security-critical response headers (CSP…
  • netintel_email_auth — Email deliverability & domain security check — validates SPF, DKIM…
  • netintel_cloud_fingerprint — Fingerprints a domain's cloud infrastructure by probing DNS records…
  • netintel_schema_parse — Extract structured data from any unstructured text into your own JSON…
  • netintel_asn_lookup — Resolves an IP address or domain to its Autonomous System Number (ASN)…
  • netintel_whois_lookup — WHOIS domain lookup via RDAP — registrar, creation/expiry/updated…
  • netintel_cert_transparency — Query the crt.sh certificate transparency log database to enumerate all…
  • netintel_subnet_calc — Calculates IPv4/IPv6 subnet details from CIDR notation —…
  • netintel_dns_propagation — Query a domain's DNS record across 10 geographically distributed public…

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Configuration and credentials

You will need one environment variable: EVM_PRIVATE_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • A wallet private key with USDC on Base mainnet - EVM_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable set

Choosing this one

Plenty of team communication servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Netintel's toolset — netintel_dns_lookup, netintel_ssl_analyze, netintel_redirect_trace and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by kjgueye; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Netintel.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the netintel mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Netintel to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (netintel_dns_lookup, netintel_ssl_analyze, netintel_redirect_trace, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Netintel directly.
