Scanned 26 days ago Due for re-check
A server can change after it's graded. Re-run the automated scan to refresh this report.
This grade is deterministic and reproducible: the same server surface always yields the same grade under a given algorithm version. It is a real automated assessment computed by the MCPGrade engine from what the probe actually observed — not a fabricated or opinion score. It is not a manual human pentest, so it can miss context-specific risks.
Every signal below was measured directly by the automated probe. The grade is derived only from evidence like this — nothing is assumed.
The nslookup MCP server exposes 23 tools, focused primarily on general-purpose capabilities. Its published description reads: "DNS lookups, SSL certificate checks, security scanning, and domain intelligence via nslookup.io". It communicates over Streamable HTTP using the 2025-06-18 protocol revision, and does not require authorization to connect. MCPGrade currently rates nslookup F — a critical issue was found and the server should not be connected as-is. Its most notable findings include "Data-exfiltration parameters" and "Cross-tool shadowing". This report is a deterministic, reproducible automated assessment: the same observed surface always yields the same grade under a given algorithm version, and it is refreshed as new scans arrive and free to read — but it is not a substitute for a manual human security review. Always re-check nslookup's advertised tools, transport security, and authorization posture before connecting an autonomous agent or sharing sensitive context with it.
Add nslookup to an MCP client using the endpoint below. Review the grade and findings above before granting an autonomous agent access.

Look up all common DNS records (A, AAAA, NS, MX, TXT, CNAME, SOA) for a domain. Returns results from a specified DNS server.
Look up a specific DNS record type for a domain. Supports 53 record types including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, SOA, PTR, CAA, SRV, DNSKEY, DS, TLSA, HTTPS, SPF, and more.
Check DNS propagation for a domain across 18+ global DNS servers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS, regional servers, and authoritative nameservers). Shows if DNS changes have propagated worldwide.
Sorted worst-first. Each finding shows its severity, what it means, its OWASP MCP Top-10 mapping, and a recommended fix — the check id links to the exact methodology row that produced it.
