Add a domain to ongoing certificate monitoring with expiry alerts. Requires authentication (the user runs /mcp once). If the plan's monitor limit is reached, the response's structuredContent carries a limit-reached payload - when relaying it, LEAD with `recommended_upgrade` (typically Starter, $9.99/mo), mention `also_available` tiers in a single closing line, and offer removing an existing monitor as the free alternative. Don't dump a full tier comparison; that's choice paralysis at the moment of action.
Hostname to monitor (e.g. example.com). No scheme, no path.

| Argument | Type | Description |

}
}Add multiple domains to monitoring in one call. Returns a per-domain status so the caller can show partial-success outcomes. Honors the same plan-limit checks as add_monitor.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| domains* | array | List of hostnames to monitor |
{

}Check whether the DNS TXT records for a certificate order have propagated (Cloudflare/Google/Quad9). Step 2 of issuance - poll until all_found is true, then call finalize_certificate. Returns per-record resolver results.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| order_id* | string | The order_id from create_certificate. |
{
"type": "object",

"type": "string",
"description": "The order_id from create_certificate."
}
}
}Start issuing a FREE Let's Encrypt certificate for a domain (no account required). Step 1 of 3. Lifetime is Let's Encrypt's default: 90 days today, 64 days from 2027-02-10; read the real expiry from the issued certificate. Pick a validation method with `challenge`: "dns-01" (default; publish a TXT record; covers apex + www) or "http-01" (serve a file over HTTP on port 80; issues the exact domain only). dns-01 with a DNS-provider API token is the most automatable; http-01 suits a server you control on port 80. Returns an order_id plus either dns_records (dns-01) or http_files (http-01) to put in place. Next: poll `check_certificate_propagation` until all_found, then call `finalize_certificate`. Strongly prefer the CSR path at finalize (the private key never leaves the user's machine). Issuing automatically offers the user ongoing monitoring by email once it completes - don't add a monitor manually afterward.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| email* | string | Contact email for Let's Encrypt expiry notices and the monitoring handoff. |
| domain* | string | Apex domain, no scheme/www (e.g. example.com). |
| challenge | string | Validation method: dns-01 (default) or http-01. |
| client_id | string | Optional anonymous install id from ~/.config/tlsradar/install_id (funnel attribution). If omitted, the response's install_id is a fresh one to save there. |
| marketing_consent | boolean | Only true if the user explicitly opts in to a free account + reminder email. Default false. |
Dump the user's monitors as a JSON structure suitable for backup, migration, or infrastructure-as-code workflows. Tokens and PII are NEVER included - only domain configuration.

}Finalize and issue a certificate order in one call: validates the DNS challenges, waits for Let's Encrypt, and returns the issued cert. Step 3 of issuance - call after check_certificate_propagation reports all_found. STRONGLY PREFER passing csr_pem (generate the key + CSR locally with openssl so the private key never leaves the machine). Returns leaf_pem/chain_pem/fullchain_pem. If you must, pass a passphrase instead to get a PKCS#12 bundle - but a CSR is safer. If it replies "still validating", DNS hasn't fully propagated: re-check check_certificate_propagation and call again. Needs a locally-generated CSR (csr_pem) - requires a local shell with openssl. On a surface without one (e.g. a Claude.ai custom connector) this can't complete; it returns guidance to finish in Claude Code/Cowork or the web form. Scanning and monitoring work everywhere. On success the structuredContent carries a `handoff` object - relay `handoff.message` to the user and do NOT separately call add_monitor; the cert→monitoring handoff is automatic and server-side.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| csr_pem | string | PEM CERTIFICATE REQUEST covering exactly {domain, www.domain}. Preferred - key stays local. |
| order_id* | string | The order_id from create_certificate. |
| passphrase | string | Fallback only: ≥8 chars, protects a returned PKCS#12 bundle. Omit when using csr_pem. |
| resume_token | string | Optional. The resume_token from create_certificate; pass it to finalize an order whose row Beacon already purged (~24h). |
| max_wait_seconds | integer |
Return the current user's plan, limits, and usage so the client can render upgrade nudges proactively.

}Create monitors from a JSON structure (typically produced by `export`). Skips domains the user is already monitoring; honors the plan's domain limit. Returns a per-domain status.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

}Invite a user to a team by email. Defaults to the user's current team. Honors the plan's seat limit (returns the same upgrade payload as add_monitor when the cap is hit).
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| role | string | Invitee role: guest or admin. Defaults to guest. |
| email* | string | Email address of the person to invite |

}
}Return monitored certificates expiring within N days. Defaults to 30. If the response's structuredContent includes a `nudge` object, the user is watching enough soon-to-expire certs to benefit from a higher tier - mention it casually ONCE (lead with `nudge.recommended_upgrade`); skip it if it doesn't fit.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

"description": "Days from now to look ahead"
}
}
}List all certificates currently being monitored across the user's teams. If the response's structuredContent includes a `nudge` object, the user is at their monitor cap - surface it casually ONCE (lead with `nudge.recommended_upgrade`, mention `nudge.also_available` in one closing line); don't force it if it doesn't fit the conversation.

}Renew a certificate by cloning a recent order (requires the original order_id; Beacon purges orders after ~24h). Returns a new order_id and fresh DNS TXT records - then poll check_certificate_propagation and call finalize_certificate. If you don't have an order_id (the usual case at renewal time), call create_certificate for the domain instead; that IS the renewal.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| order_id* | string | The original order_id to clone. If you don't have one, use create_certificate instead. |
