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
  • Warncheck_certificate

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

    Matched text

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

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "run": 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
    Run a live TLS handshake against host:port and audit the certificate the server presents. Returns an A/B/C/F grade and summary, expiry (days remaining), hostname match, chain completeness and trust against Mozilla's root store, negotiated TLS version and cipher suite, key type/size, findings, and a link to the full report. Revocation (OCSP/CRL) is NOT checked. Hosts on Cloudflare's own network cannot be checked live (result: isError with code live_check_unavailable, no grade); a failed handshake returns check_failed with no grade. Read-only: it only opens a TLS connection to the public host. Same engine, cache and limits as the CertGuard JSON API (GET /api/v1/check).

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Check SSL/TLS certificate
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true

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 0.2.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http certguard https://certguard.mike-tusa.workers.dev/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

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

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__certguard__check_certificate"
    ],
    "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 certguard. Review it before you use it.
