What you get

77 MCP tools with 18 scoring categories — SPF, DMARC, DKIM, DNSSEC, SSL/TLS, MTA-STS, NS, CAA, MX, BIMI, TLS-RPT, subdomain takeover, HTTP security headers, DANE, SVCB/HTTPS, subdomailing, brand discovery, and authoritative DNS infrastructure
Maturity staging — Stage 0-4 classification (Unprotected to Hardened) with score-based capping to prevent inflated labels
Trust surface analysis — detects shared SaaS platforms (Google, M365, SendGrid) and cross-references DMARC enforcement to determine real exposure
Guided remediation — generate_fix_plan produces provider-aware prioritized actions; record generators output ready-to-publish records; validate_fix confirms whether a fix was applied successfully
Supply chain mapping — map_supply_chain correlates DNS signals to build a full third-party dependency graph with trust levels and risk signals
Attack path simulation — simulate_attack_paths enumerates specific paths (spoofing, takeover, hijack) with severity, steps, and mitigations
Compliance mapping — map_compliance maps scan findings to NIST 800-177, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2, and CIS Controls
Self-tuning scoring — adaptive weights adjust category importance based on patterns seen across scans via Durable Object telemetry
Per-tier analytics — usage tracking by auth tier with operator API for tier summaries, key-level usage, and daily digests
Passive and read-only — all checks use public Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS; no authorization required from the target

Authoritative DNS infrastructure

check_authoritative_dns_infra scores authoritative DNS hosting behavior for a hostname. It is designed to consume raw UDP/TCP DNS, authoritative AA/RA behavior, zone-transfer refusal, DNSSEC, abuse-resistance, BGP/RPKI, and multi-vantage evidence from the BV_INFRA_PROBE service binding when that worker is provisioned.

check_root_server_set validates the DNS root-server set against the embedded official root hints. With BV_INFRA_PROBE, it also checks live root priming, glue, parent/child delegation, DNSKEY, and SOA serial evidence across roots.

Self-hosted or local deployments without BV_INFRA_PROBE still return structured partial results. The worker-only mode records the embedded root hints and marks live raw-DNS, routing, RPKI, and vantage capabilities as inconclusive rather than pretending they ran.

Quality & Reliability

The server is continuously validated using a comprehensive chaos test suite that covers all detected MCP client types:

Interactive clients: claude_code, cursor, vscode, claude_desktop, windsurf (auto-format: compact)
Non-interactive clients: mcp_remote, blackveil_dns_action, bv_claude_dns_proxy, unknown (auto-format: full)

The bv_load_test class identifies internal load/chaos/tranco-scan traffic so it stays out of real-client analytics segments.

The test suite ensures session stability, authentication precedence, format negotiation, and transport-specific edge cases across Streamable HTTP and Legacy SSE. Without an API key it exercises the public/free-tier path; with a valid key exported as BV_API_KEY, it also covers ?api_key= authentication, Bearer precedence, authenticated SSE bootstrap, and authenticated batch behavior.

Run the chaos tests locally: python3 scripts/chaos/chaos-test-clients.py

SSOT guardrails are enforced by focused audit tests:

Tool counts and public resource copy are derived from the TOOLS registry.
Domain-required validation is derived from each tool input schema.
Scan timeout budgets are resolved from shared runtime config.
WASM tool permissions are generated from MCP tool annotations.
Public quota copy is checked against runtime quota config.

Generic Scoring Engine: Runtime-agnostic, string-keyed three-tier scoring with configurable weights
Infra Probe Binding: Optional BV_INFRA_PROBE service binding supplies raw authoritative DNS, root-server, BGP/RPKI, and vantage evidence for the authoritative DNS infrastructure profile
WASM Policy Engine: High-performance permission and token checks via bv-wasm-core
Reliable Sessions: Hardened tombstone logic prevents race-condition revival of terminated sessions
Adaptive Scoring: Durable Object telemetry adjusts weights based on real-world distributions
Client Awareness: Automatic response formatting (compact vs full) based on client User-Agent

Brand-discovery modes (`discover_brand_domains` / `brand_audit_*`)

The discovery_mode argument accepts two values:

classic (the default everywhere this repo runs out-of-the-box) — the public, BSL-licensed signal-sweep pipeline. Uses only public-internet data sources (DNS, RDAP, CT logs, MX/TXT inspection). This is the only mode supported for self-hosted deployments and the only mode the open test suite covers end-to-end.
tiered — layers a portfolio-aware Tier 0 / infrastructure-graph Tier 1 / declared-evidence Tier 2 pipeline in front of the classic sweep. Tiered mode requires private BlackVeil-internal cross-Worker bindings (BV_INFRA_GRAPH, BV_INTEL_GATEWAY, BV_ENTERPRISE) that are not packaged with the open distribution — they live in BlackVeil's production deploy overlay (.dev/wrangler.deploy.jsonc) and call into proprietary Workers. Self-hosters cannot enable tiered mode without those bindings.

BlackVeil's hosted production at dns-mcp.blackveilsecurity.com flips its runtime default to tiered via the env var BRAND_AUDIT_DISCOVERY_MODE_DEFAULT="tiered" in the private overlay; the public schema default in src/schemas/tool-args.ts stays 'classic' permanently so anyone building from main gets the BSL-licensed behaviour unchanged. An explicit caller-supplied discovery_mode always wins over the env default.

Client setup

The free tier requires no authentication. Authenticated requests bypass per-IP rate limits and follow your tier's daily quota. Three authentication methods are supported:

Header: Authorization: Bearer <KEY>
Query Param: ?api_key=<KEY> (for clients that can't send custom headers — Smithery, Claude Code)
OAuth 2.1: optional authorization-code flow with PKCE, enabled only when operators set ENABLE_OAUTH=true; owner-key consent is separately gated by ENABLE_OWNER_OAUTH=true.

For full hosted setup examples, stdio usage, OAuth setup, and legacy fallback endpoints, see docs/client-setup.md.

Responsible use

This tool is intended for authorized security assessments of domains you own or have explicit permission to test. Do not use it for unauthorized reconnaissance, harassment, or any activity that violates applicable laws. Findings from attack simulation, spoofability, and subdomain discovery tools should be used to improve your own security posture, not to exploit others.

If you discover a vulnerability in a third-party domain, please follow coordinated disclosure practices.
