Pi-hole MCP Server

L0· runs locally

Manage Pi-hole v6: DNS blocking, domains, clients, query analysis, DHCP, and multi-instance sync.

v0.9.0 · active · repository · website · descriptor JSON · versions

Runs on your machine: something must execute the package.Only local packages are published (npm, PyPI, OCI, …). The registry never executes them, so tools are unknown until you run it.

This is a local package: the command runs on your machine.

Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.
