HttpStatus MCP

HttpStatus MCP gives Claude nine tools for debugging and inspecting HTTP endpoints, built by HttpStatus.com.

Tools:

• check_url_status: fetch a URL and report its status code, headers and timing
• trace_redirects: follow a redirect chain hop by hop
• check_ssl: inspect a site's TLS certificate, issuer and expiry
• dns_lookup: resolve A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and other records
• check_cors: test how an endpoint responds to cross-origin requests
• scan_security_headers: audit headers such as CSP, HSTS and X-Frame-Options
• decode_jwt: decode a JWT's header and payload
• generate_status_url: build a URL that returns any HTTP status code
• generate_dummy_response: produce free public test endpoints for API development

Typical uses: figuring out why a page returns a 404 or 502, finding redirect loops after a migration, checking a certificate before it expires, debugging CORS errors, and reviewing a site's security headers.

The tools are stateless and only make requests to public hosts. Nothing is stored. Sign-in uses standard OAuth with no account needed beyond approving access.
