Security Headers Checker

Audit HTTP response headers for security compliance — parses the raw headers you paste (no network) and grades them against the OWASP secure-header set with value-level checks: HSTS max-age, CSP unsafe-inline/eval, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, COOP/COEP/CORP and more. Outputs a letter grade (A+ to F) plus per-header findings with copy-ready fix recommendations.

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "security-headers-checker",
    "arguments": {
  "headers": "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\nServer: nginx\ntype: text/html\nCache-Control: public"
}
