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
Built-in capabilities (10)
Check current SecurityTrails API quota usage
Great for expanding the scope of an investigation. Find other domains associated with a target domain
Useful for finding old IPs that might still be hosting vulnerable software, or tracking infrastructure migration over time. Retrieve historical DNS records for a domain
Essential for mapping out a target domain's existing infrastructure. Get complete domain intelligence and current DNS records
Get classification tags for a domain
Essential for understanding shared hosting environments or identifying hidden vhosts. Find all domains pointed to a specific IP address
Critical for attack surface mapping and asset discovery. Returns both active and inactive subdomains. Discover all subdomains for a given domain
Get current WHOIS information for a domain
Useful for OSINT investigations to uncover historical owners before privacy protection was enabled. Retrieve historical WHOIS records for a domain
Examples: `ipv4="1.1.1.1" AND mx="alt1.aspmx.l.google.com"` or `whois_email="admin@example.com"`. Check SecurityTrails docs for full DSL syntax. Advanced search using SecurityTrails DSL
Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, SecurityTrails becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call SecurityTrails tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

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 CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
