50 developer utility APIs as tools: SSL, DNS, WHOIS, email checks, HTML to PDF, sitemaps and more.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that gives an assistant 50+ Apixies developer utility APIs as tools: SSL, DNS, WHOIS, email checks, conversions, generators and more.

What you can do
Inspect domains and web endpoints: SSL certificates, security headers, DNS records and propagation, WHOIS, redirects, meta tags, robots.txt, link reachability, performance and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Validate and analyze: email format and MX records, URLs, JWT decoding, text statistics, HTTP status codes, cron expressions, regex tests and JSON diffs. Convert formats: HTML, Markdown and PDF, JSON, CSV, YAML, XML, Base64, URL encoding, timestamps, colors, phone numbers and hashes. Generate content: QR codes, UUIDs, passwords, Lorem Ipsum text and webpage screenshots.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to run quick web and domain diagnostics (SSL, DNS, email deliverability, security headers) or everyday developer conversions and generators without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx, so Node.js 18 or newer is needed. A required Apixies API key must be set in the APIXIES_API_KEY environment variable; without it every tool call fails. Network access to the Apixies API is required. The free tier allows 75 requests per day.
Before you install
The API key is a secret stored in the client config. Each tool call's arguments (a domain, URL or text) are sent to the Apixies API along with the key, and requests are logged for up to 90 days, though payload fields are redacted. Usage is quota-limited, and some tools such as screenshots and performance checks can be slow.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Apixies Developer API Suite in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

Apixies MCP Server

Connect 52+ developer utility APIs to Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.

Check SSL certificates, look up DNS records, validate emails, generate QR codes, convert HTML to PDF, and more. All through natural language.

Quick Start

Add this to your MCP client config:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apixies": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apixies/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APIXIES_API_KEY": "apx_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

Get a free API key at apixies.io/register. The server needs one. Without it every tool call returns a MISSING_API_KEY error.

Setup by Client

Claude Desktop

One click: download apixies.mcpb and double-click it. Claude Desktop asks for your API key and you're done.

Or by hand:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apixies": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apixies/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APIXIES_API_KEY": "apx_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Claude Code

Add to your project's .mcp.json or global config:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apixies": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apixies/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APIXIES_API_KEY": "apx_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apixies": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apixies/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APIXIES_API_KEY": "apx_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apixies": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apixies/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APIXIES_API_KEY": "apx_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apixies": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apixies/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APIXIES_API_KEY": "apx_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

Example Conversations

SSL check:

You: Check if stripe.com has a valid SSL certificate

Claude uses check_ssl tool, then responds with issuer, expiry date, protocol version, and chain health.

DNS lookup:

You: What are the MX records for github.com?

Claude uses dns_lookup with type "MX" and returns the mail server records.

Multi-tool workflow:

You: Do a security audit on mysite.com. Check SSL, security headers, and email authentication.

Claude calls check_ssl, check_headers, and validate_email_auth in sequence, then gives you a combined report.

API Key

The server needs an API key. It's free: register at apixies.io/register, create a key in the dashboard, and you get 75 requests a day.

Set it with the APIXIES_API_KEY environment variable in your MCP client config. The Claude Desktop extension asks for it when you install.

Privacy Policy

The server runs on your machine and sends only the arguments of each tool call (a domain, a URL, some text) to the Apixies API at https://apixies.io, together with your API key. It doesn't read your files, your conversations or anything else on your computer, and it has no telemetry of its own.

Apixies logs API requests for up to 90 days to enforce quotas and debug problems. Payload fields such as text, HTML and email addresses are redacted from those logs. Nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

Full policy: apixies.io/privacy. Questions: [email protected].

Development

bash
cd mcp-servernpm installnpm run buildnpm run inspect  # Opens MCP Inspector to test tools

For local development with auto-reload:

bash
npm run dev

To run against a local Apixies instance, set APIXIES_BASE_URL (for example http://localhost:8000). It defaults to https://apixies.io.

Troubleshooting

Tools don't appear in Claude Desktop

  • Make sure you restarted Claude Desktop after editing the config
  • Check the config file path is correct for your OS
  • Verify Node.js 18+ is installed: node --version

"APIXIES_API_KEY not set" warning

  • The server starts, but every tool call fails with MISSING_API_KEY
  • Add your API key to the env config and restart the client

Rate limit errors

  • Free tier: 75 requests/day with an API key, 20 without
  • Errors include a DAILY_QUOTA_EXCEEDED code

Connection timeout

  • Some tools (screenshot, performance check) may take a few seconds
  • If consistently timing out, check your network connection

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
