What is the SecurityTrails MCP Server?
Connect your SecurityTrails account to any AI agent and empower your OSINT, bug bounty, and threat intelligence workflows with the world's most comprehensive domain and IP database.
What you can do
- Attack Surface Mapping — Instantly enumerate all subdomains for any target organization to map their external footprint
- Historical DNS Analysis — Look back in time at DNS records (A, MX, NS, TXT) to find hidden infrastructure, bypassed firewalls, or legacy systems
- Reverse IP Lookups — Find all domains hosted on a specific IP address to identify shared hosting or related corporate assets
- Advanced Threat Hunting — Use the SecurityTrails DSL (Domain Specific Language) to query the entire internet for specific tech stacks or vulnerable infrastructure
- Ownership Intelligence — Access current and historical WHOIS records to track domain ownership changes and unmask hidden threat actors
- Corporate Associations — Discover domains strongly associated with your primary target to expand your investigation scope
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Sign up at SecurityTrails to get your API key (Free tier available)
- Run intelligence queries directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security Researchers & Pentesters — accelerate recon and asset discovery during engagements
- Bug Bounty Hunters — find forgotten subdomains and out-of-scope assets associated with target companies
- Threat Intelligence Analysts — correlate IPs, domains and WHOIS records to track APT infrastructure
- Brand Protection Teams — identify typosquatting and malicious domains targeting your organization
- System Administrators — audit their own external attack surface and verify DNS propagation

Frequently asked questions
Is the SecurityTrails API free to use?
SecurityTrails offers a Free Tier API plan which allows 50 API requests per month. This is excellent for specific, targeted OSINT investigations. For automated or large-scale recon, you would need a commercial subscription.
What is historical DNS good for?
Companies often migrate infrastructure and hide behind WAFs like Cloudflare. Historical DNS reveals the original origin IP addresses used before the WAF was implemented, which might still be active and vulnerable to direct attacks. It's a critical tool in penetration testing.
How can I find related domains for a target company?
Use the get_associated_domains tool. It uses proprietary correlation to find other domains owned by the same entity. You can also use get_domains_by_ip to find what else is hosted on their IP space.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
