## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `domain-intel`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__domain-intel__ip_lookup",
      "mcp__domain-intel__site_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_profile",
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_trust",
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_dns",
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_whois",
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_age",
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_available",
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_tls",
      "mcp__domain-intel__domain_dnssec",

      "mcp__domain-intel__page_watch",
      "mcp__domain-intel__bot_observatory"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 13 tools that change things (13 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
