Use Security Headers Analyzer three ways

The free Security Headers Analyzer on this page works in your browser. The same workflow is available via REST API for apps and via MCP for Cursor, Claude, and other agents — one API key, one plan, one quota. This tool is part of the security-apis module under Security Tools.

  • REST APICall from your server with X-Api-Key.
  • MCP for agentsConnect Cursor or Claude to ToolYour MCP with the same key.
  • 1. Get an API keySign in and open Dashboard → API Keys (works for REST and MCP).
  • 2. Call or connectUse the REST API from your server, or paste the MCP URL into your agent config.

What is Security Headers Analyzer?

You need a quick read on whether a site sends the headers that reduce XSS, clickjacking, and protocol downgrade risk. ToolYour Security Headers Analyzer fetches a public URL and scores Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy. Missing or weak values show as fail/warn with short fix advice. This is a response-header check on one URL — not a full penetration test. Same route via REST and MCP (/api/v1/security-apis/security-headers-analyzer). For http:// assets on HTTPS pages, use Mixed Content Checker under digital tools.

What are common questions about Security Headers Analyzer?

Which headers does the analyzer check?

CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy. Each row shows present/absent, severity, and advice.

Does a high score mean the site is secure?

No. Strong headers help, but auth bugs, vulnerable libraries, and misconfigured backends are out of scope. Use this as a hardening checklist, not a green light.

How do I call this via API?

GET /api/v1/security-apis/security-headers-analyzer?url=https://example.com with X-Api-Key, or POST with { "url": "..." }.

What are the key features of Security Headers Analyzer?

Merged header checklist

One page for CSP/HSTS/frame/MIME/referrer/permissions/COOP instead of thin single-header tools.

Score and grade

Weighted score from pass/warn/fail so agents and dashboards can sort results.

API and MCP

GET with url query or POST with body.url — same credit-backed path agents use.

How do you use Security Headers Analyzer?

Paste a public HTTPS URL

Use the live page you care about (homepage, login, or app shell).

Run the analyzer

Complete the bot check; we fetch headers and score each control.

Fix fails first

Prioritize missing CSP and HSTS, then frame and MIME sniffing controls.

When teams use security headers checks

Pre-launch hardening, vendor reviews, and CI smoke checks after CDN or reverse-proxy changes. Pair with TLS certificate and cookie flag tools in this category.
