Domain Mail Check in Cursor
Email DNS and domain check. The MCP server is https://mailcheck.openkrill.app/mcp. No key. The steps below are only for Cursor. A call to check_email_auth was checked against that server on 2026-10-01.
What this server answers
Check how a domain is set up for email and who it is registered with, from public DNS and registry data.
Ask "is DMARC set up correctly for github.com?", "check SPF and DKIM for example.com", "which mail provider does acme.io use?" or "when does openai.com expire?".
The email check reads the domain's SPF record (following include and redirect, counting DNS lookups against the limit of 10), its DMARC policy, the MX records and, when you give a DKIM selector, whether the DKIM key is published. It returns a grade from A to F for protection against spoofing, the problems it found and a short list of fixes. The DNS records tool reads A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CAA and NS records with their TTLs, which also shows which mail provider a domain uses and which certificate authorities may issue for it. The registration tool reads the domain's registry record over RDAP: registrar, creation and expiry dates, status flags and name servers.
DNS answers come from Cloudflare's DNS over HTTPS service with Google Public DNS as a fallback, and registration data from the registry of the domain's ending, found through IANA's RDAP directory. Every answer names its source and the date it was read.
It does not send or test mail, read mailboxes, find subdomains, or return who owns a domain: registrant and contact details are never read or returned. It checks the exact domain you give, so a parent domain's SPF or DMARC record is not inherited. The domains you ask about are not stored; the only lasting record is a daily count of calls per tool.
What it can do
- Reads a domain's SPF record, counts its DNS lookups and flags weak or broken policies
- Reads the DMARC policy, percentage and report address
- Checks whether DKIM keys are published for up to 5 selectors you name
- Grades email spoofing protection from A to F with a short list of fixes
- Reads A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CAA and NS records with TTLs and names the mail provider from the MX records
- Shows registrar, creation and expiry dates, status flags and name servers from the registry over RDAP
- Never returns registrant or contact details; names its sources and dates
Tools
check_email_auth, Check email authentication. Use this when the user asks whether a domain's email is set up correctly, such as "is DMARC set up for github.com?" or "check SPF and DKIM for example.com". Pass the domain and, if known, up to 5 DKIM selector names. Returns SPF (policy, DNS lookup count, issues), DMARC (policy, percentage, report address, issues), DKIM per selector, the MX hosts and mail provider, a grade from A to F, a list of fixes, and the source and as_of date. It reads public DNS only: it does not send mail, test delivery or read mailboxes.check_dns_records, Look up DNS records. Use this when the user asks for a domain's DNS records, its mail provider or which certificate authorities may issue for it, such as "which mail provider does acme.io use?" or "show the MX and CAA records for github.com". Pass the domain and optionally up to 6 record types from A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CAA and NS (default: all). Returns each type's records with TTL, the mail provider named by the MX hosts, and the source and as_of date. It reads public DNS only; it cannot list subdomains or other record types.lookup_domain_registration, Look up domain registration. Use this when the user asks who a domain is registered with or when it expires, such as "when does openai.com expire and who is the registrar?". Pass the domain. Returns whether it is registered, the registrar, creation, update and expiry dates, days until expiry, registry status flags, name servers, and the source and as_of date. Registrant and contact details are never returned, so it cannot say who owns a domain.
Add Domain Mail Check in Cursor
Cursor reads MCP servers from mcp.json. A project file at .cursor/mcp.json applies to that project. A user file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere. These steps were checked against the Cursor MCP docs on 2026-10-01. Streamable HTTP is the transport: a url, not a shell command.
Create or edit the file so it contains this server. Merge it with servers you already have. Do not replace the whole file if other servers are listed.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mailcheck": {
"url": "https://mailcheck.openkrill.app/mcp"
}
}
}No headers and no auth block. Those are for servers that require a token or a pre-registered OAuth client. Domain Mail Check answers without either. Saving the file is the install. Open Cursor Settings, then MCP, and confirm Domain Mail Check is enabled. If it stays disconnected, reload the window. You should see check_email_auth, check_dns_records, lookup_domain_registration.
In Agent chat, ask: Is DMARC set up correctly for github.com? Cursor calls the tool over streamable HTTP and shows the arguments before it runs them, depending on your run mode. Approve the call the first time and read the result. The server is public and read-only. It does not see your repository unless the model puts repository text into the arguments, so do not paste secrets into the question.
A one-click Marketplace install does not exist for this server. The JSON above is the whole setup. Team admins can distribute the same url through a team marketplace, but that is an admin step, not something this page can do for you. OAuth redirect URLs in the Cursor docs matter only for servers that require sign-in. Skip them here.

github.com publishes SPF and DMARC. The grade is a reading of those records, not a security audit. The request below was posted to https://mailcheck.openkrill.app/mcp as tools/call. HTTP 200. Source: the Domain Mail Check server, read 2026-10-01.

Repeat the call yourself if you need a newer reading. Cached answers expire. A rate limit is not a result: wait and try again. Nothing in the call is a ranking, a filing, or advice.
