Pay per scan, no subscription. Credits never expire. Failed or empty scans are refunded.

Troubleshooting

/mcp shows adradar as failed or I get 401
The key is missing or wrong. Run the command again with the correct key (the header must read Authorization: Bearer adr_...) and reopen Claude Code.
401 Unauthorized, or the tool says missing_api_key
No key reached the server. Add your key as Authorization: Bearer adr_YOUR_KEY (or ?key= on the URL for clients that only take a URL). OAuth connectors need a fresh sign-in: remove and re-add the connector.
invalid_api_key
The key is wrong or mistyped. Copy it again from your account page. Keys start with adr_.
insufficient_credits
The key is out of credits. Top up and retry. The same key keeps working after a top-up, and a new key starts at 0 credits.
Results are for the wrong country
Scans default to US. Name the country in your prompt (for example "in the UK" or "in Vietnam"); the tools take ISO country codes such as GB or VN.
A scan failed or returned nothing
Failed scans and scans with 0 results are refunded automatically (the tool result says refunded: true). Retry later.
