ProbeOps MCP Server
MCP server for running infrastructure diagnostics from 6 global regions. SSL checks, DNS lookups, ping, whois, port checks, traceroute, latency tests, and more — each executed simultaneously from US East, US West, EU Central, Canada, India, and Australia.
Works instantly — no API key required. Run npx @probeops/mcp-server and get 11 diagnostic tools with 10 free calls per day. Add an API key to unlock all 21 tools, 6 regions, and higher limits.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any Model Context Protocol compatible client.
Quick Start
Option 1: Try It Now (No API Key)
Claude Code:
claude mcp add probeops -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server
Codex:
codex mcp add probeops -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server
Cursor / Windsurf / Cline (add to .mcp.json or your client's MCP config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"probeops": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
That's it. You get 11 tools with 10 calls per day and 2 probe regions — no signup, no configuration.
Option 2: Full Access (Free API Key)
Sign up at probeops.com and create an API key from the dashboard. Then add it to your config:
Claude Code:
claude mcp add probeops -e PROBEOPS_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @probeops/mcp-server
Codex (add to ~/.codex/config.toml):
[mcp_servers.probeops]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"]
[mcp_servers.probeops.env]
PROBEOPS_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"
Cursor / Windsurf / Cline:
{
"mcpServers": {
"probeops": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@probeops/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"PROBEOPS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Demo Mode vs Full Access
| Demo Mode (no key) | Free Tier (with key) | Professional | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tools | 11 | 21 | 21 |
| Calls per day | 10 | 100 | 5,000 |
| Regions per call | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Geo-proxy browsing | — | 3 hours/day | 10 hours/day |
| Setup time | 0 min | 2 min | 2 min |
What You Get
21 infrastructure diagnostic tools, each running from up to 6 regions simultaneously. Plus geo-proxy browsing and account management.
Every diagnostic tool call returns per-region results and a quota footer showing remaining usage.
Diagnostic Tools (14)
| Tool | What it does | Example input |
|---|---|---|
ssl_check | SSL/TLS certificate validity, expiry, issuer, TLS version, SANs, cross-region consistency | { "domain": "example.com" } |
dns_lookup | DNS record lookup (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA, PTR) with multi-region propagation check | { "domain": "example.com", "record_type": "MX" } |
is_it_down | Website up/down/partial status from multiple regions | { "url": "https://example.com" } |
latency_test | HTTP latency (TTFB) from multiple regions, returns min/avg/max | { "target": "example.com" } |
traceroute | Network path tracing with per-hop latency. TCP, UDP, or ICMP | { "target": "example.com", "protocol": "tcp" } |
port_check | Port open/closed/filtered check from multiple regions | { "target": "example.com", "port": 443 } |
ping | ICMP ping with packet loss and round-trip times | { "target": "8.8.8.8" } |
whois | Domain registration info: registrar, dates, nameservers | { "domain": "example.com" } |
nmap_port_check | Check multiple ports open/closed using nmap (not a full scan) | { "target": "example.com", "ports": "80,443" } |
tcp_ping | TCP-level latency to a specific port (works when ICMP is blocked) | { "target": "example.com", "port": 443 } |
keyword_check | Check if a keyword exists on a web page from multiple regions | { "url": "https://example.com", "keyword": "pricing" } |

api_health | API endpoint health check (HTTP status, response time, availability) | { "url": "https://api.example.com/health" } |
DNS Shortcuts
These call dns_lookup with a preset record_type so you don't have to remember record type names:
| Tool | Equivalent to |
|---|---|
mx_lookup | dns_lookup with record_type: "MX" |
txt_lookup | dns_lookup with record_type: "TXT" |
ns_lookup | dns_lookup with record_type: "NS" |
cname_lookup | dns_lookup with record_type: "CNAME" |
caa_lookup | dns_lookup with record_type: "CAA" |
reverse_dns_lookup | dns_lookup with record_type: "PTR" (takes an IP address) |
Geo-Proxy Browsing
| Tool | What it does | Example input |
|---|---|---|
get_geo_proxy | Get proxy credentials for a region. Use with Playwright or any HTTPS proxy client | { "region": "eu-central" } |
geo_browse | Browse a URL from a region using a real browser. Returns page content and/or screenshot | { "url": "https://example.com", "region": "ap-south" } |
Account
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
account_status | Current quota usage (minute/hour/day/month), subscription tier, active proxy token |
Resources
| URI | Description |
|---|---|
probeops://regions | Probe regions with location, country, and node count |
probeops://proxy-regions | Geo-proxy regions with FQDNs and proxy URLs |
probeops://usage | Current API usage, remaining quota, active token status |
Global Regions
All diagnostic tools run from these 6 regions simultaneously:
| Region Code | Location | Country |
|---|---|---|
us-east | Ashburn, Virginia | United States |
us-west | Boardman, Oregon | United States |
eu-central | Helsinki | Finland |
ca-central | Montreal | Canada |
ap-south | Mumbai | India |
ap-southeast | Sydney | Australia |
Geo-Proxy Token Management
The server manages proxy tokens automatically:
| Token State | Action | Quota Cost |
|---|---|---|
| > 5 min remaining | Reuse cached token | 0 |
| 0-5 min remaining | Auto-extend +1 hour | 1 unit |
| Expired or no token | Generate new token | 1 unit |
- A single token works across all 6 regions. Switching regions does not consume quota.
- Daily quota = total hours of proxy browsing per day.
- Quota resets at midnight UTC.

Development
git clone https://github.com/kumarprobeops/probeops-mcp-server.git
cd probeops-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
Test locally:
PROBEOPS_API_KEY=your-key node dist/index.js
Requirements
- Node.js >= 18.0.0
- Playwright (optional) - only needed for
geo_browsescreenshots
Without Playwright,npx playwright install chromiumgeo_browsefalls back to HTTP fetch (raw HTML, no screenshots).
FAQ
Q: How is this different from running curl or dig locally?
Every check runs from 6 global regions simultaneously. You see DNS propagation, latency, and availability from the perspective of real users worldwide, not your local network.
Q: Do I need to install anything besides Node.js?
No. npx -y @probeops/mcp-server handles everything. Playwright is optional (only for geo_browse screenshots).
Q: Can I use this in CI/CD pipelines?
Yes. Set PROBEOPS_API_KEY as an environment variable and call the MCP server from any MCP-compatible tool.
Q: Is the API key sent securely?
Yes. All communication uses HTTPS. The key is sent via the X-API-Key header, never in URLs or logs.
