1 check matched something in the tool definitions. No finding is not a safety guarantee. How the checks work.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

1 warn
  • Warnssl_check

    The server marks "ssl_check" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "open": a word for a change.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "open": a word for a change.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Opens its own TLS handshakes to one public host with openssl, using the URL's explicit port or 443 by default, and reports what they establish: which of TLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 and SSLv3 the server accepts, a protocol-support grade, and the certificate the server actually serves (subject, issuer, covered hostnames, hostname match, and validity dates). Reach for it on padlock, HTTPS, 'Not Secure', certificate-expiry and wrong-hostname questions, and to inspect which certificate is served after a renewal on the probed endpoint; this does not verify every load-balanced node. It does not fetch the page or establish whether plain HTTP is actually served or redirected, and it is not a browser trust decision: no chain-of-trust build, no revocation check, no cipher-suite inspection. Measured 0.05-1.5 seconds against real hosts; each probe is cut off at 12 seconds.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: SSL Certificate Check
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Install

Pinned to version 0.2.5. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http ssl-certificate-check https://powmcp.com/ssl-certificate-check/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__ssl-certificate-check__ssl_check"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. It assumes the server is installed as ssl-certificate-check. Review it before you use it.
