Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Dotmoose Tools every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

ipv6

check_ipv6_website

Check whether a site answers over IPv6 and compare the result with IPv4.

measure

measure_web_performance

Measure DNS, connect, TLS, and time to first byte for a URL from the DotMoose diagnostic node. This is a network timing sample. It is not a browser rendering benchmark.

mta

Dotmoose Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Dotmoose Tools do?

It exposes 40 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: audit_page_links, build_dmarc_record, build_spf_record, calculate_bandwidth, calculate_subnet, check_bimi and 34 more. 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 →

What is Dotmoose Tools mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around tls, looking and build. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Dotmoose Tools working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 593 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Dotmoose Tools?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Dotmoose Tools need an API key?

No. Dotmoose Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 40 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Dotmoose Tools?

It answers our handshake in 593 ms on average, which is faster than 21% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Dotmoose Tools open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in PowerShell, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.dotmoose.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
