# How to Verify SSL Setup with Claude

Claude turns DNS investigation into a deep, conversational security review where each finding leads naturally to the next check. Ask Claude to look up your records, chain that into an SSL verification, cross-reference with email authentication settings, and explain the security implications of every configuration detail it finds. Its analytical reasoning makes it ideal for thorough domain audits where understanding the "why" behind each record matters as much as seeing the data.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Check the SSL certificate for example.com using dns-domain"
3. Claude runs check_ssl and returns certificate details including expiry and chain status
4. Address any issues before they cause outages

## Example Prompt

```
Check the SSL certificate for example.com. When does it expire? Is the certificate chain valid?
```

## Tips

- Check certificates at least monthly to catch upcoming expirations
- Ask Claude to verify certificates for all your subdomains too
- Check after renewing or replacing a certificate to confirm the new one is active
