dynadot-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Dynadot domain registrar API. Manage domains, DNS records, contacts, transfers, and more — all from your AI assistant.
When to Use
Tell your AI assistant things like:
- "Search for available domains" — bulk-check up to 100 domain names at once with pricing
- "Register a new domain" — register or bulk-register domains
- "Update DNS records for my domain" — set A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV records
- "Transfer a domain to Dynadot" — initiate inbound transfers with auth codes
- "Set up email forwarding" — configure email forwarding or MX records
- "Renew my domain" — renew before expiration
- "Lock/unlock domain for transfer" — manage transfer lock status
- "Check domain WHOIS info" — view and manage WHOIS privacy settings
AI Agent Integration: See `llms.txt` for a machine-readable summary, or copy `templates/CLAUDE.md` / `templates/AGENTS.md` into your project for automatic MCP discovery.
