Give your AI assistant real tools
Connect ToolBox to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and your assistant can look up DNS records, convert Word or PDF files, remove image backgrounds, check certificates and hash passwords - on its own, mid-conversation.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant call external tools. Without it, a model can only tell you how to check a domain's mail records. With it, the model actually checks them and answers from the real result.
Our server exposes every endpoint in the catalogue as an MCP tool, complete with its input schema and its credit cost - so the assistant knows both how to call it and what it will spend.
You ask a question in Claude or Cursor
The model picks a tool and calls our server
We run it, charge credits and return real data
The model answers from the actual result
Connect in one step
Pick your client, paste the config, restart. That is the whole setup.
Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or edit the global one in Settings → MCP), paste this and reload. Cursor talks HTTP natively, so nothing is installed locally.

Tools your assistant gets
Full reference →Every tool below appears automatically once connected. Prices are per call and shown to the model, so it can prefer a cheap lookup over an expensive crawl.

Things to ask once connected
- “What are the MX records for example.com, and is the SSL certificate expiring soon?”
- “Check every link on this page and tell me which ones are broken.”
- “Trace what this shortened URL actually redirects to before I click it.”
- “Pull the Open Graph tags from this page and tell me why the preview looks wrong.”
- “Which country is this IP address in, and is it a hosting provider or a home connection?”
The assistant decides which tools to call and can chain several in one answer.
Costs and limits
Plus a welcome grant when you sign up. Enough to evaluate everything without paying.
Invalid requests are free, and anything that fails on our side is refunded automatically.
A cached DNS answer costs 1 credit; a crawl making 31 requests costs 10. Each price is published with its reasoning.
Purchased credits carry over indefinitely. No subscription and no minimum spend.
