01 · Install Ayn Ops

before you install - you'll need

Set ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY, HIBP_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add aynops-aynops -- uvx AynOps

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aynops-aynops": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "AynOps"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package AynOps - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.AynOps is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Ayn Ops can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can query crt.sh Certificate Transparency logs for a domain and extract certificate, subdomain, and wildcard information, check if an IP is flagged as malicious via AbuseIPDB (api key requied), run all core tools in parallel and return combined result, and fetch and parse robots.txt to reveal hidden directories and sitemaps.

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Ayn Ops lets an agent do.

Whois

1 tool - e.g. Domain registration data - owner, registrar, creation date, expiry, name servers

whois_lookup

Dns

dns_enumeration

Port

1 tool - e.g. Nmap-powered scanner with service/version detection and security warnings

port_scan

Ssl

1 tool - e.g. SSL/TLS certificate - issuer, expiry, cipher strength, SANs, TLS version

ssl_inspect

Email

1 tool - e.g. Checks SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records - returns a security_score, rating, and actionable recommendations for missing or weak configurations

email_security_check

Tech

1 tool - e.g. Web server, CMS, JS frameworks, CDN, and analytics

tech_stack_detect

Cert

1 tool - e.g. Query crt.sh Certificate Transparency logs for a domain and extract certificate, subdomain, and wildcard information

cert_transparency

Asn

1 tool - e.g. Autonomous System Number (ASN) and network ownership lookup via Team Cymru WHOIS - identifies ASN, BGP prefix, organization, registry, country, and allocation d

asn_lookup

Limitations (from the README)

AynOps is an MCP server, which means tool execution is orchestrated by your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.), not by AynOps itself. Some LLM clients perform safety checks before invoking MCP tools. As a result, requests such as:
