About DNSDumpster - MCP Server
DNSDumpster - MCP Server connects AI assistants to DNSDumpster for domain reconnaissance, returning DNS records and related network details. It is intended for users investigating domain DNS infrastructure.
Key features
- 01Query domain DNS records
- 02Retrieve A records with IP and ASN details
- 03Retrieve CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records
- 04View available banner information
- 05Pagination, rate limiting, and caching
Use cases
- 01Inspect a domain’s DNS infrastructure
- 02Find a domain’s mail servers
- 03Review subdomains and associated network details
MCP support
Exposes DNSDumpster API queries as tools for MCP clients, allowing assistants to retrieve domain records and related information.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
