Overview

What changes for your security checks

You stop pasting addresses into a search box one by one. With the connector on, Claude can query HIBP while you talk: which breaches an address appears in, what a given breach exposed, what turned up for your verified domain, and what stealer logs recorded. Public breach data even works before you sign in.

Answer a worried colleague. Someone asks whether their work address leaked. hibp_get_breached_account returns the breaches tied to it, and hibp_get_breach details any one of them.

Audit your own domain. For a domain already verified in HIBP, hibp_get_breached_domain lists exposure across its addresses, and the stealer log tools show which sites were seen alongside them.

Prove you own a domain. Three tools handle verification: hibp_generate_domain_verification_dns_token prepares a DNS record value, hibp_verify_domain_verification_dns_token checks it, and hibp_send_domain_verification_email mails an authorised address. These are the steps that change your account.

What Claude cannot do here: reach subscriber data your HIBP subscription does not include, search a domain before it is verified, or recall a verification email once sent. Stealer log hits are historical and do not show current access. And nothing runs on its own: no tool alerts you when a new breach is loaded. Background monitoring belongs to an automation tool, a different job; the Integrations hub covers it.

Vocabulary

The vocabulary in one minute

Five words you will meet while connecting HIBP.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while answering you.
Tool
One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs by itself, and the directory lists each by name.
Authorization
The sign-in screen of the service itself, where you hand Claude its access. Granted once per person, and you can take it back.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes through with something that changes your account, shown right in the conversation.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service.
Connect

Connect HIBP to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find HIBP in Claude

    In Claude's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and look for the HIBP connector in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable the connector first, before each member can sign in.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    Click Connect on its row, then sign in to HIBP in the window HIBP opens itself. The access granted there is yours alone, given once per person. If the link breaks later, use Disconnect and connect again.

  3. 03

    Read the authorization screen

    Check the authorization screen before you accept. It belongs to HIBP, not to Claude, and it decides what the access covers. You can also withdraw that access later from your HIBP account.

Tools

What Claude reads (14)

14 tools

Fourteen lookups. HIBP flags each one as read-only with no side effects.

hibp_list_breaches

Fetches the public metadata of the breaches loaded in HIBP, so Claude can browse the catalogue without you signing in. HIBP states the lookup leaves its data untouched and acts on nothing for you.

When it helps
a security lead wants an overview of the breaches HIBP holds before a board briefing.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_breach

Brings up the details of a single breach by its name, from the existing record only. Claude can then explain what that incident exposed.

When it helps
a client mentions a well-known social network leak and you want to know which data types were in it.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_latest_breach

Returns the single breach most recently loaded into the HIBP corpus, with its published metadata, ready for Claude to summarise its impact and the kinds of data involved.

When it helps
your security digest opens with whatever HIBP added last.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_list_data_classes

Lists the categories HIBP uses to label exposed information in a breach, such as the kinds of personal data a leak contained.

When it helps
you need consistent wording before you draft an internal notice about what leaked, so every team describes the exposure the same way.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_pwned_passwords_range

Looks up anonymised password hash suffixes and their occurrence counts for a hash prefix, using the k-anonymity model. HIBP says it keeps no information about you, and the lookup is open before any sign-in.

When it helps
a developer checks whether a candidate password policy would still allow commonly breached passwords.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_breached_account

Gives the breaches associated with one email address, read from existing records. This is the classic HIBP check, run from the chat.

When it helps
an employee reports a suspicious login and you want to know where their address leaked.
Watch out
it needs you signed in to HIBP.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_breached_account_range

Matches the first six characters of an email's SHA-1 hash and returns suffixes with non-sensitive breach names; the comparison then happens on the caller's side.

When it helps
a privacy team wants to check an address without sending it in clear.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_paste_account

Retrieves paste records tied to an email address, the metadata of public text dumps where it appeared, without altering anything.

When it helps
an executive's address may have been dumped on a paste site and you want the trail before alerting them.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_breached_domain

Reports breach exposure for the addresses on a domain you have verified in HIBP, as an authorised domain search.

When it helps
the IT manager wants every company mailbox that shows up in known breaches.
Watch out
the domain must be verified first, or HIBP refuses the search.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_list_subscribed_domains

Shows which domains are attached to your signed-in HIBP account, from subscription information only; nothing is added or removed from that list.

When it helps
you inherited the security role and need to know which domains the account already covers.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_subscription_status

Reads the current subscription status of your HIBP account, without touching billing or account settings, so Claude can tell you what the account currently holds.

When it helps
a protected lookup was refused and you want to confirm what your subscription covers before retrying.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_stealer_logs_by_email

Lists the website domains historically observed in stealer logs for a given email address.

When it helps
you want to know which services a compromised employee should reset first.
Watch out
a hit is historical and does not show current access.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_stealer_logs_by_website_domain

Returns email addresses historically seen in stealer logs for a given website domain, read from existing records, which helps you see which of your users were caught.

When it helps
you run a customer portal and want to know which user accounts appeared in those logs for it.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_get_stealer_logs_by_email_domain

Surfaces aliases and their associated website domains historically observed in stealer logs for an email domain, so you see which addresses of yours were caught and where.

When it helps
a CISO needs the scope of infostealer exposure across the company domain.

What Claude changes (3)

3 tools

Three domain verification steps. No source describes a confirmation of their own: the general rule below applies.

hibp_generate_domain_verification_dns_token

Approval: see the rule

Creates, or reuses, the private HIBP records for a domain verification request and returns the DNS TXT value to publish. It changes account-related state, which is why HIBP does not treat it as read-only.

What Claude asks for
no source describes a confirmation of its own, so the general approvals rule applies.
When it helps
you are adding a new company domain and need the record for your DNS host.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_verify_domain_verification_dns_token

Approval: see the rule

Checks a previously generated token against live DNS and may mark the domain as verified in your HIBP account.

What Claude asks for
nothing specific is documented here; refer to the general rule below.
When it helps
the TXT record is live and you want domain searches unlocked.

Sourcehaveibeenpwned.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

hibp_send_domain_verification_email

Approval: see the rule

Emails an authorised recipient as part of proving you own the domain. HIBP flags it as destructive because the message cannot be recalled once delivered, and the recipient still has to act.

What Claude asks for
HIBP recommends that clients get the user's confirmation first; Claude's own behaviour here is covered by the general rule.
When it helps
DNS access sits with another team, but the security mailbox is yours.

Approvals

What Claude asks before acting

By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before each action it takes on an account for you. The request shows up in the conversation, when it matters.

On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether a member may let some actions through without being asked every time. They can also cap what a connector may do for the whole organization, keeping lookups open and closing the verification steps, and nobody overrides that from their own account. Claude works with your rights and nothing more: domain searches stay limited to domains your HIBP account has verified.

Plans

Which plans include it

None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. That answer is published nowhere, connector by connector: a real gap in the catalogue.

The general rule is published: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector for the organization before members can connect. For the current state, check the connector's sheet in the official directory, the only place that shows it.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing starts when HIBP loads a new breach or a domain shows up in one.

The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions that appear on no public sheet. The partner badge is not a security audit either, and Anthropic says so on every sheet: it does not choose the tools a publisher exposes and does not guarantee they behave as announced. Only HIBP's own documentation covers this connector, though it describes each tool unusually precisely.

FAQ

Questions about the Claude Have I Been Pwned connector

01What can Claude do with the Claude Have I Been Pwned connector?
Claude can run HIBP checks while you talk to it. Fourteen tools read: the breach catalogue and its details, data classes, Pwned Passwords ranges, breaches and pastes for an address, exposure for your verified domain, your subscribed domains and subscription status, and three views of stealer logs. Three more handle domain verification. Public breach, data class and password range tools work even before you sign in to HIBP. Signing in unlocks the rest.
02Can Claude change anything or send emails through HIBP?
Yes, three tools go beyond reading, all about domain verification. One creates the private records for a verification request and returns a DNS value. Another checks that value against live DNS and may mark the domain as verified. The third sends a verification email to an authorised recipient, which HIBP flags as destructive because it cannot be recalled. Every other tool is flagged read-only by HIBP, with no side effects.
03Does Claude ask before it acts in HIBP?
By default, yes: Claude asks for confirmation before each action it carries out on an account on your behalf. No source describes a confirmation specific to an HIBP tool, so that default rule covers the three verification steps. HIBP itself recommends that clients obtain the user's confirmation before sending the verification email. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether members may let some actions pass without asking, and can close writes for everyone.
04Which plans is it available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and no directory sheet shows it. The general rule says remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable a connector before members can sign in to it. Separately, HIBP's subscriber features follow your HIBP subscription. The directory sheet is the only place showing the connector's current state for your account.
05Can Claude search any domain or any address?
Not every lookup is open. Public breach metadata, data classes and Pwned Passwords ranges need no sign-in. Searching an address, a domain, pastes, stealer logs or your subscription requires HIBP authorisation. Domain searches only work for domains verified in your HIBP account, and subscriber-only data follows what your subscription includes. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an owner can also restrict what the connector may do for the whole organization.
06Why does a protected HIBP tool fail or return nothing?
HIBP lists a few causes. The signed-in account may lack an active subscription that includes the feature being called. A domain search fails until the domain is verified. If the client reports no tools at all, HIBP suggests removing the failed connection and reconnecting, since public tools load before sign-in is required. Requests can also be rate limited, in which case HIBP asks the client to slow down and retry after the reported reset time.
07Claude or an automation tool for Have I Been Pwned?
They answer different needs, so it depends on the task. Claude works inside a conversation: you ask, it runs the lookups and explains the results, and nothing else happens once you stop typing. It does not alert you on its own when HIBP loads a breach involving your domain. For monitoring that runs in the background on an event, that is the job of an automation tool. For investigations and one-off checks on demand, the connector is the right fit.
