Password Breach Checker

Security REST API MCP network tool

Return whether a password appears in known data breaches and how many times, using the Have I Been Pwned k-anonymity range API. Only the first 5 characters of the SHA-1 hash are sent upstream.

This page documents the MCP tool findutils:password_breach_checker. See the REST reference →

This tool fetches a fixed, hard-coded public upstream — never a private host. Results depend on that upstream.
