Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted DNSimple MCP server that lets an assistant inspect domains, DNS zones and records, check domain availability and prices, and create, update or delete…

What you can do
  • Identify the authenticated account and list domains, zones and registrant contacts
  • Read a single domain, zone record or zone listing with pagination and filters
  • Check whether a domain is available to register and fetch registration, renewal and transfer prices
  • Create, update or delete DNS records in a zone
  • Report monthly tool-call usage, request a missing feature, and upgrade or cancel the paid plan
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about your DNSimple domains and DNS records, look up availability and pricing before registering a domain, or make DNS record changes without opening the DNSimple dashboard.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install. Connect with the endpoint URL only and sign in through OAuth, pasting your DNSimple API token on first connect; the token is validated and stored per user. Do not add an Authorization header or API key to the client config.
Before you install
The server is operated by a third party and holds your DNSimple API token, so it can act on your account. Update and delete tools change or permanently remove live DNS records and affect real resolution; create adds records. Paid plans involve Stripe Checkout payments, and cancellation gives no refund for the current period. Free plan is limited to 50 tool calls per month.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open DNSimple 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%2Fdnsimple/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

DNSimple MCP by usefulapi

Manage your domains and DNS records from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your DNSimple API token.

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

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://dnsimple.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http dnsimple https://dnsimple.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": {    "dnsimple": {      "url": "https://dnsimple.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 DNSimple credentials.

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

On first connect you'll paste your DNSimple API token. It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you.
