Probeops tools (24)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
account_statusShow your ProbeOps account status: subscription tier, diagnostic quota (minute/hour/day/month), proxy token quota, and active proxy token details. Use this to check remaining quota before running multiple tools.
api_healthCheck API endpoint health from multiple global regions. Sends an HTTP request and reports status code, response time, and availability.
banner_grabGrab the service banner from a specific port on a target from multiple global regions. Identifies service type and version.
caa_lookupLook up CAA (Certificate Authority Authorization) DNS records for a domain. Shows which certificate authorities are authorized to issue SSL/TLS certificates.
cname_lookupLook up CNAME (Canonical Name) records for a domain. Shows DNS aliases. Useful for verifying CDN configuration and subdomain routing.
dns_lookupLook up DNS records for a domain from multiple global regions. Supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA, and PTR record types. Useful for checking DNS propagation across regions.
geo_browseBrowse a URL from a specific geographic region using ProbeOps geo-proxy. Launches a real browser through a geo-located proxy and returns the page content and a screenshot. One-step tool — no manual Playwright setup needed.
get_api_keyGet instructions to set up your ProbeOps API key for full access to all 21 tools and 6 global regions.
get_geo_proxyGet geo-proxy credentials for a specific region. Returns a proxy JWT token with tier-based quota info. The token can be used with Playwright or any HTTPS proxy client to browse the web from that geographic region. A single token works across all regions.
is_it_downCheck if a website is up, down, or partially available from multiple global regions. Returns HTTP status and response time per region.
keyword_checkCheck if a keyword exists in a web page's raw HTML source from multiple global regions. Searches raw HTML — does not execute JavaScript, so content rendered client-side (SPAs, dynamic widgets) may not be detected. Useful for verifying static content delivery and geo-specific content.
latency_testMeasure network latency (ping) to a target from multiple global regions. Returns per-region latency plus average, min, and max.
mx_lookupLook up MX (Mail Exchange) records for a domain. Shows mail servers and priorities. Useful for verifying email configuration and troubleshooting email delivery.
nmap_port_checkCheck if multiple ports are open or closed on a target from multiple global regions using nmap. Checks specified ports (not a full scan).
ns_lookupLook up NS (Nameserver) records for a domain. Shows authoritative DNS servers. Useful for verifying DNS delegation and nameserver configuration.
pingICMP ping a target from multiple global regions. Returns packet loss and round-trip times. Useful for basic reachability and latency testing.
port_checkCheck if a specific port is open, closed, or filtered on a target from multiple global regions. Useful for verifying firewall rules and service availability.
reverse_dns_lookupPerform reverse DNS (PTR) lookup for an IP address. Finds the hostname associated with an IP. Essential for email deliverability verification and server identification.
ssl_checkCheck SSL/TLS certificate for a domain from multiple global regions. Returns certificate details (validity, expiry, issuer, TLS version, SANs) and checks consistency across regions.
tcp_pingMeasure TCP-level latency to a specific port on a target from multiple global regions. More reliable than ICMP ping for hosts that block ICMP.
tracerouteTrace the network path to a target from one or more global regions. Shows each hop with latency. Supports TCP, UDP, and ICMP protocols.
txt_lookupLook up TXT records for a domain. Shows SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain verification, and other TXT records. Essential for email authentication and domain ownership verification.
websocket_checkCheck WebSocket endpoint health and connectivity from multiple global regions. Verifies that a WebSocket server is accepting connections.
whoisLook up WHOIS registration information for a domain. Shows registrar, creation/expiry dates, nameservers, and registrant info.

Install Probeops in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @probeops/mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

ProbeOps MCP Server
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-serverCodex:
codex mcp add probeops -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-serverCursor / 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-serverCodex (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"
}
}
}
}Demo Mode vs Full Access
What You Get
21 infrastructure diagnostic tools, each running from up to 6 regions simultaneously. Plus geo-proxy browsing and account management.
Every diagnostic tool call returns per-region results and a quota footer showing remaining usage.
