Phish Radar - Phishing Detection & Brand Monitoring MCP Server

Real-time phishing detection and brand monitoring system for AI agents. Analyzes URLs and domains for phishing indicators, typosquatting, homoglyphs, and lookalike domains.

Features

1. Phishing Detection (phishing_detect)

Comprehensive URL/domain analysis with:

  • Typosquatting detection - Identifies domains similar to known brands (Levenshtein distance)
  • Homoglyph detection - Catches visually similar character substitutions (0/O, 1/l/I, etc.)
  • Domain age analysis - Detects recently registered suspicious domains
  • SSL certificate inspection - Flags free certificates (Let's Encrypt) when combined with brand similarity
  • DNS records - Checks for MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC records
  • Hosting location - Identifies suspicious geography patterns

Score: 0-100 phishing confidence

  • PHISHING (70+): Block immediately
  • SUSPICIOUS (40-69): Review recommended
  • SAFE (<40): Low risk

2. Domain Trust Score (domain_trust)

Evaluates domain trustworthiness (0-100) based on:

  • Email infrastructure (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) - 25 points
  • SSL certificate type (EV > OV > DV) - 20 points
  • TLD reputation - 20 points
  • Nameserver reputation - 15 points
  • DNS records - 5 points

Levels:

  • HIGHLY_TRUSTED (80+): Enterprise-grade domain
  • TRUSTED (60-79): Legitimate domain
  • NEUTRAL (40-59): Unproven domain
  • SUSPICIOUS (20-39): Warning signs present
  • UNTRUSTED (<20): High-risk domain

3. Brand Monitor (brand_monitor)

Detects lookalike domains targeting your brand:

  • Typosquats - Single character swaps/deletions (paypa1.com vs paypal.com)
  • Homoglyphs - Visually confusing substitutions
  • Keyword additions - Security-related additions (paypal-secure.com)
  • TLD variations - Same domain on different extensions (paypal.xyz)

Returns high-risk domains that actually exist with full risk assessment.

Usage

Example 1: Check a Suspicious URL

{
"toolName":"phishing_detect",
"input":{
"url":"https://paypa1-secure.com/login"
}
}

Response:

{
"url":"https://paypa1-secure.com/login",
"domain":"paypa1-secure.com",
"verdict":"PHISHING",
"confidence":0.97,
"phishing_score":94,
"signals":{
"typosquat_of":"paypal.com",
"typosquat_distance":1,
"homoglyph_detected":true,
"homoglyph_count":1,
"domain_age_days":3,
"ssl_issuer":"Let's Encrypt",
"ssl_free_cert":true,
"has_mx_records":false,
"suspicious_tld":false,
"dns_a_records":["185.234.xx.xx"],
"hosting_country":"RU"
},
"action":"BLOCK",
"details":"High-confidence phishing domain detected (score: 94). Domain is a typosquat of paypal.com (distance: 1). Contains 1 homoglyph character substitution. Uses free SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt) - commonly abused. No MX records configured - not set up for legitimate email."
}

Example 2: Check Domain Trust

{
"toolName":"domain_trust",
"input":{
"domain":"stripe.com"
}
}

Response:

{
"domain":"stripe.com",
"trust_score":92,
"trust_level":"HIGHLY_TRUSTED",
"factors":{
"domain_age_days":null,
"has_mx":true,
"has_spf":true,
"has_dkim":true,
"has_dmarc":true,
"ssl_type":"EV",
"ssl_issuer":"DigiCert",
"has_ssl":true,
"tld_risk":"LOW",
"nameservers":["ns1.stripe.com","ns2.stripe.com"],
"a_records_count":4
}
}

Example 3: Monitor Brand Lookalikes

{
"toolName":"brand_monitor",
"input":{
"brand_domain":"stripe.com",
"limit":10
}
}

Response:

{
"brand":"stripe.com",
"brand_name":"stripe",
"lookalikes_found":8,
"domains":[
{
"domain":"str1pe.com",
"exists":true,
"risk":"HIGH",
"type":"homoglyph",
"tld_risk":"LOW"
},
{
"domain":"stripe-secure.com",
"exists":true,
"risk":"HIGH",
"type":"keyword_addition",
"tld_risk":"LOW"
},
{
"domain":"stripee.com",
"exists":true,
"risk":"MEDIUM",
"type":"insertion",
"tld_risk":"LOW"
}
],
"analysis_time_ms":2847
}

Implementation Details

No External API Dependencies

  • DNS Queries: Native Node.js dns/promises module
  • SSL Certificates: Node.js tls module for direct connections
  • WHOIS: Direct TCP port 43 protocol (future enhancement)
  • GeoIP: Simplified IP-to-country mapping (for production, integrate MaxMind)

Known Brands Database

Includes 80+ major brands across:

  • Financial Services (PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.)
  • Tech Companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.)
  • Cryptocurrency (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, etc.)
  • Cloud Providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.)
  • E-commerce (Amazon, eBay, Shopify, etc.)

Easily extensible in src/data/known_brands.js.

Suspicious TLDs

Monitors 40+ high-risk TLDs commonly used in phishing:

  • Cheap registration TLDs: .xyz, .top, .click, .bid
  • Free TLDs: .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf
  • Cryptocurrency scams: .btc, .eth, .crypto
  • Sanctioned regions: .ru, .ir, .kp

Phishing Score Calculation

High-Risk Signals (Add Points)

  • Typosquat distance 1: +35 points
  • Typosquat distance 2: +25 points
  • Homoglyph detected: +20 points
  • Suspicious TLD: +15 points
  • Free SSL + typosquat: +15 points
  • No MX + typosquat: +10 points
  • Hosting in RU + typosquat: +10 points

Low-Risk Signals (Subtract Points)

  • Has MX records: -5 points
  • Trusted CA cert: -5 points

Final Score Clamped: 0-100

Confidence Levels

  • 70+ (PHISHING): 0.70-0.99 confidence → BLOCK
  • 40-69 (SUSPICIOUS): 0.50-0.95 confidence → REVIEW
  • <40 (SAFE): 0.95+ confidence → ALLOW

Pricing

  • $0.05 per tool call (per domain/URL analyzed)
  • Bulk monitoring: $0.05 × number of domains checked

Example: Monitoring 100 brand lookalikes = $5.00 per execution

Implementation Notes

Security Considerations

  • No WHOIS PII collection: Personal information (owner names, emails) excluded per GDPR
  • No certificate validation bypass: Uses system trust stores
  • Rate limiting: Implement externally to avoid DNS query floods
  • Timeout protection: 5-second SSL connection timeout

Performance

  • Parallel DNS queries for speed
  • Batch processing for large domain lists (10 concurrent)
  • Caching at application level (not in Actor)

Future Enhancements

  1. WHOIS Integration: For domain registration date analysis
  2. GeoIP Database: MaxMind for accurate IP location
  3. SSL Certificate History: Certificate Transparency logs
  4. Reputation Scoring: Integration with Phishing/Malware databases
  5. Machine Learning: Pattern recognition for new phishing techniques

All tools follow MCP standard with JSON input/output.
