Generator Labs now runs a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so that any MCP-aware AI tool can access your monitoring data. The server exposes tools across RBL monitoring, certificate monitoring, notifications, and account management.

What You Can Do

Once connected, you can ask your AI tool questions like:

  • "Which of my hosts are currently listed on any RBL?"
  • "Show me certificates expiring in the next 30 days."
  • "Run an RBL check on mail.example.com and tell me which sources flagged it."
  • "What alerts went out this week, and to which contacts?"

The AI translates requests into tool calls against your account, returns results conversationally, and chains follow-up queries without leaving your AI tool.

How to Connect

The MCP endpoint is at https://api.generatorlabs.com/4.0/mcp. Authentication supports both HTTP Basic (API key) and OAuth 2.1 with PKCE.

Claude Desktop (API key):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "generator-labs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.generatorlabs.com/4.0/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Basic <base64 of AccountSID:AuthToken>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude.ai / ChatGPT (OAuth): add a custom connector with the endpoint URL. The OAuth flow opens in your browser to approve scopes.
