Scan.mx MCP server
Which MCP servers are Scan.mx's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

- Registry namemx.scan/diagnosticsverified in the MCP registry
The registry name sits under scan.mx. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-26 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 146 ms.
- Its tools do every use case we checked: Check SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for a domain; Find blacklist listings for a domain's mail servers.
- Checked on 1 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.
Once connected
- For "Check SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for a domain", the likely first call is check_domain.
- For "Find blacklist listings for a domain's mail servers", the likely first call is check_blacklist.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
check_domainRun the full email and DNS deliverability check for a domain: MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNS health, provider detection, and blacklists. Returns a letter grade (A+ to F, where specific weaknesses cap the grade), a 0 to 100 score, and every…
check_mxCheck the MX records of a domain: presence, hostnames, resolution, null-MX, and common misconfigurations.
check_spfCheck the domain SPF policy: presence, syntax, the all qualifier, and the 10-lookup limit.
check_dmarcCheck the domain DMARC policy at _dmarc: presence, policy strength (none/quarantine/reject), and reporting.
check_blacklistCheck whether the domain and its mail server IPs are listed on the Spamhaus (ZEN, DBL, ZRD, AuthBL), SpamCop, GBUdb and PSBL blocklists.
check_mta_stsCheck the domain MTA-STS policy (_mta-sts TXT and the HTTPS policy file, mode and MX coverage) and its TLS-RPT reporting record.
check_dnssecCheck DNSSEC validation and DNS health: delegation, nameserver count, SOA, and reverse DNS of the mail servers.
check_bimiCheck the domain BIMI record at default._bimi: the SVG logo URL, the VMC/CMC certificate, and the DMARC enforcement BIMI needs.
check_dkimCheck DKIM signing keys for a domain. Without a selector, common provider selectors are probed. Pass an explicit selector to look up that exact key at selector._domainkey.
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"diagnostics": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.scan.mx/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http scan https://api.scan.mx/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://api.scan.mx/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
