Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted ClouDNS MCP server that lets an assistant list DNS zones and records, read failover and monitoring status, and add TXT records.

What you can do
  • List and search DNS zones, and get details of a single zone
  • List records of a master zone, filtered by host or record type
  • Add a TXT record to a master zone
  • Read DNS failover settings for a record
  • List monitoring checks with their status and state
  • Check monthly tool-call usage, request a feature, upgrade or cancel a plan
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to inspect your ClouDNS zones and records, check failover or monitoring status, or add a TXT record such as a domain verification or DMARC entry without opening the ClouDNS panel.
Requirements
Remote endpoint at cloudns.usefulapi.io, no local install. Sign-in uses OAuth; on first connect you supply the API user ID (auth-id) and API password (auth-password) of an API user created under API & Resellers in ClouDNS. No API key or Authorization header goes in the client config. Free plan allows 50 tool calls per month.
Before you install
The add-TXT-record tool changes live DNS, and repeating the same call creates a duplicate record; confirm before running it. Your ClouDNS API user ID and password are entered at the hosted login page and stored per user by the third-party service. Paid plans (Pro, Pro+) are billed through a Stripe Checkout link, and upgrading from Pro to Pro+ charges the price difference immediately with no refund on cancellation.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ClouDNS MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fcloudns/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

ClouDNS MCP by usefulapi

Use your ClouDNS account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read DNS zones, records, failover settings and monitoring checks, and add TXT records. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://cloudns.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://cloudns.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http cloudns https://cloudns.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "cloudns": {      "url": "https://cloudns.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your ClouDNS credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/cloudns/

On first connect you provide the API user ID (auth-id) and the API password (auth-password) of an API user that you create under API & Resellers in ClouDNS. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

Pricing

PlanPriceLimit
Free$050 tool calls / month
Pro (per user)$9/mo or $90/yr (2 months free)10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+ (per user)$39/mo or $390/yr (2 months free)100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run cloudns_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with cloudns_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with cloudns_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
