Use the sherlock tool with a username parameter to search 399+ platforms, or maigret for 3000+ sites with confidence scoring. For faster results, blackbird checks 581 sites in seconds. All are invoked as MCP tools through the AI assistant.

The server exposes seven tools: Sherlock and Maigret for username search, Holehe for email registration checks, GHunt for Google account intelligence, TheHarvester for domain reconnaissance, SpiderFoot for comprehensive scans, and Blackbird for fast username lookups.

Use the holehe tool with the email address as input. It verifies registration status across 120+ platforms including Google, Twitter, and Adobe, returning a list of registered and unregistered services.

Yes, but SpiderFoot requires separate installation to /opt/spiderfoot and takes 5-30 minutes per scan. Increase the subprocess timeout to 1800 seconds or set the OSINT_TIMEOUT environment variable to avoid premature termination.

The tool is not installed or not on the system PATH. Install it with pip install sherlock-project, verify with which sherlock, and add $HOME/.local/bin to PATH if the executable is missing.
