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.

Demo Mode vs Full Access

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)

DNS Shortcuts

These call dns_lookup with a preset record_type so you don't have to remember record type names:

Geo-Proxy Browsing

Account

Resources

Global Regions

All diagnostic tools run from these 6 regions simultaneously:

Geo-Proxy Token Management

The server manages proxy tokens automatically:

• 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.

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"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• Playwright (optional) - only needed for geo_browse screenshots
  Copy

  npx playwright install chromium

  Without Playwright, geo_browse falls 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.
