SSLMate Cert Spotter API for AI agents

Cert Spotter watches Certificate Transparency logs for a company's domains and flags any TLS certificate issued for them, including ones no one authorized. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
