Overview

DNSDumpster - MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to interact with the DNSDumpster API, allowing AI assistants to perform detailed DNS reconnaissance through natural language requests.

To use the server, install it via PyPI or from the source, set your API key, and run the server using the recommended command. You can then query DNS records using natural language prompts.

  • Query domain DNS records through AI assistants - Retrieve detailed information about A, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records - Support for pagination and domain map generation (Plus accounts) - Rate limiting and caching
  1. Querying subdomains for a given domain
  2. Retrieving mail server information for domains
  3. Generating visual maps of domain structures

Use these steps to connect DNSDumpster - MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-python-maxweeden"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.
