domain-suite-mcp
MCP server for AI agents to autonomously manage domains and DNS — without human intervention.
domain-suite-mcp is an open-source MCP server written in TypeScript that enables AI agents to autonomously manage domains and DNS without human intervention. It acts as a unified abstraction layer over multiple domain registrar and DNS provider APIs, exposing a consistent set of 21 MCP tools that any MCP-compatible agent can call.
AI agents can now build and deploy full applications end-to-end — writing code, provisioning infrastructure, pushing to production. The remaining gap in the autonomous shipping pipeline is domain and DNS management. domain-suite-mcp eliminates that gap.
An agent can now complete the full domain lifecycle without human intervention:
check availability → register → configure DNS → provision SSL → set up email
Quick Start
No installation required. Domain availability checking works immediately with zero configuration via public RDAP/WHOIS protocols.
npx domain-suite-mcp
Add provider credentials via environment variables to enable registration, DNS management, SSL, and more.
Install globally
npm install -g domain-suite-mcp
domain-suite-mcp
Install Claude Code skills
Install five pre-built skills (/domain-check, /domain-register, /domain-dns-setup, /domain-email-setup, /domain-full-setup) into your Claude Code setup:
npx domain-suite-mcp install
This copies the skills to ~/.claude/skills/. Restart Claude Code to activate them.
Print MCP client config
npx domain-suite-mcp config
Prints the ready-to-paste JSON snippet for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client.
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"domain": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "domain-suite-mcp"],
"env": {
"PORKBUN_API_KEY": "pk1_...",
"PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY": "sk1_..."
}
}
}
}
Cursor / Windsurf / Kiro
Add to your MCP settings (varies by client):
{
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "domain-suite-mcp"],
"env": {
"PORKBUN_API_KEY": "pk1_...",
"PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY": "sk1_..."
}
}
Claude Code
Install the skills, then add the MCP server to your project settings:
npx domain-suite-mcp install # installs /domain-* skills to ~/.claude/skills/
npx domain-suite-mcp config # prints the MCP server config to add
Once configured, you can invoke skills directly in Claude Code:
/domain-check myapp.com io,dev
/domain-register myapp.com
/domain-email-setup myapp.com google
/domain-full-setup myapp.com
See docs/SKILLS.md for full workflow patterns and prompt templates.
Provider Support
| Feature | Porkbun | Namecheap | GoDaddy | Cloudflare |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domain availability check | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Domain registration | Yes | Yes | Yes | Enterprise only |
| Domain renewal | Yes | Yes | Yes | Enterprise only |
| DNS record CRUD | Yes | Yes | Yes* | Yes |
| SSL certificate management | Yes (full) | No | No | List/status only |

* GoDaddy DNS management requires 10+ active domains or Domain Pro plan (~$240/yr).
Recommended setup: Register on Porkbun or Namecheap, then point nameservers to Cloudflare for DNS. Best of both: easy registration + Cloudflare's fast DNS API.

Designed for AI Agents
Every error message tells the agent what went wrong, why, and exactly what to do next. No raw API error codes, no cryptic status numbers.
[IP_NOT_WHITELISTED] namecheap: Namecheap API authentication failed. Your server's IP
address must be whitelisted in your Namecheap account under Profile → Tools → API Access
→ Whitelisted IPs. → Log in to Namecheap and add your current IP address to the whitelist.
Format: [ERROR_CODE] provider: what went wrong → what to do
The server is fully stateless — no database, no persistent auth, no server to manage. Every call fetches fresh data directly from the provider API.
