Call this server's tools from your browser. Nothing to install.
Optional. 'Bearer <key>' (free cg_ key) for higher limits. Works without a key.
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

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).
Hostname or public IP to check, e.g. example.com. An https:// URL is accepted and reduced to its host (and port). Private, internal and reserved addresses are rejected.
TCP port (default 443). Allowed: 443, 8443, 465, 993, 995.
Also return the full /api/v1/check JSON (all chain certificates, SANs, handshake attempts) in structuredContent.raw. Larger output.
