Gridinsoft MCP Inspector

You can use the GridinSoft MCP Inspector server to verify and analyze the trust and safety of websites and URLs in real time. It powers AI agents to assess domain reputation, detect phishing, and scan for malware, helping you decide which links to trust before you interact with them.

How to use

To use this MCP server, integrate it with your MCP client (such as Claude Desktop or Cursor/Windsurf IDE) so your AI can query domain safety, phishing risk, and malware status for any link. You will run an MCP command or configure a connection, then pass domains or URLs to the server to receive a structured safety verdict and accompanying details.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You will run commands to install and start the MCP client integration.

# If you already have Node.js installed, skip to the MCP integration step.
node -v
npm -v

# Install the MCP integration package via your MCP client as shown in the connection guide.
npx -y @gridinsoft/mcp-inspector

Additional configuration and usage notes

You can connect your AI client to either a remote MCP endpoint or a local runtime configuration. The remote endpoints provide a web-based checker, while the local configuration runs the MCP inspector as a subprocess via your MCP client.

Usage patterns you can accomplish

• Secure development: automatically audit third-party API endpoints and documentation links before adding them to your codebase.

• Automated documentation review: scan external links in READMEs or specs to ensure no malicious redirects.

• Incident response: paste suspicious logs or headers into your IDE and have the AI categorize domains (e.g., C2 servers, phishing drops).
