DNS Lookup API does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 30.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

network
network_lookup_dns
Use this when you need to look up DNS records for a domain. Returns all matching records in JSON via Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS. Returns: 1. records array with type, name, data, TTL 2. Supports A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, SRV 3. queryTime in ms 4. resolver info (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1). Example output: {"domain":"example.com","type":"A","records":[{"name":"example.com","type":"A","data":"93.184.216.34","ttl":3600}],"queryTime":12,"resolver":"cloudflare"} Use this FOR verifying DNS configuration, checking MX records before email setup, auditing TXT records for SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and debugging domain resolution issues. Do NOT use for SSL certificate check -- use security_check_ssl instead. Do NOT use for WHOIS domain info -- use domain_lookup_intelligence instead. Do NOT use for HTTP header analysis -- use network_analyze_headers instead.

DNS Lookup API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can DNS Lookup API do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: network_lookup_dns. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is DNS Lookup API working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 14 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists DNS Lookup API as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect DNS Lookup API?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does DNS Lookup API need an API key?
No. DNS Lookup API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is DNS Lookup API open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
