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 Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns SecurityTrails into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from SecurityTrails and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
