# Have I Been Pwned MCP — breach exposure lookup by email/domain

Queries the HIBP API to return breach data for a given email address or domain. Lets Claude reason over breach overlap, infer source breaches, estimate when an email was first compromised, and prioritize credential-stuffing risk.

## Install

```
npm i -g hibp-mcp-server
```

## Configuration

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hibp": {
      "command": "hibp-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "HIBP_API_KEY": "YOUR_HIBP_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## What it adds

Without this MCP, HIBP lookup is a manual browser step. With it, Claude queries HIBP mid-investigation and reasons over which breaches overlap with other findings — connecting a leaked email to a credential-stuffing campaign, or dating the first compromise against a timeline of events.
