Read NS1 zones, records, monitors, data feeds and usage; create or update one DNS record.
The publisher's own server: Ably MCP by usefulapi
Hosted MCP server for NS1 Connect managed DNS: read zones, records, monitors, data feeds and usage, and create or update a single DNS record.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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%2Fns1/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}Use NS1 from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — zones, records, monitoring jobs, data sources and feeds, usage, QPS and billing, plus single-record writes. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own NS1 credentials.

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 NS1 Connect credentials.

List zones
List the DNS zones in the account: name, id, TTL/SOA settings, primary/secondary setup, linked zones and tags. If next_page is not null, call again with its after/offset to get more. GET /v1/zones.
afterlimitoffsetGet zone
One zone with its settings and its record list (each record: domain, type, TTL, short answers, linked/tier info). Large zones are paged: if next_page is not null, call again with its after/offset to get the next records. TSIG secrets are redacted. GET /v1/zones/{zone}.
zonerequiredafterlimitoffsetGet record
One DNS record by zone, domain and type: TTL, answers (with per-answer metadata), filter chain (traffic steering), linked record and region settings. GET /v1/zones/{zone}/{domain}/{type}.
typerequiredzonerequireddomainrequiredSearch zones and records
Search the account's zones and records by name (substring match). Returns matching zones and/or records with their answers when expand is true. GET /v1/search.
maxtypequeryrequiredexpandList monitoring jobs
List the account's NS1 monitoring jobs (health checks that feed traffic steering): id, name, type, regions, frequency, rules, current status, active flag and notify list id. Request header values and credentials are redacted. GET /v1/monitoring/jobs.
Takes no parameters.
Get monitoring job
One monitoring job by id with its configuration, rules, regions and status. Header values and credentials are redacted. GET /v1/monitoring/jobs/{id}.
job_idrequiredList notifier lists
List the notifier lists that monitoring alerts are sent to: id, name and the notifier types and labels (email, Slack, PagerDuty, webhook). Notifier settings (webhook URLs, tokens, service keys, addresses) are redacted. GET /v1/lists.
Takes no parameters.
List data sources
List the data sources (connections to third-party monitoring or custom push sources used for traffic steering): id, name, source type, status and their feeds. Connection settings and credentials are redacted. GET /v1/data/sources.
Takes no parameters.
Get data source
One data source by id with its feeds. Connection settings and credentials are redacted. GET /v1/data/sources/{id}.
source_idrequiredList data feeds of a source
List the feeds of one data source (each feed is one monitored item, e.g. one server's health) with id, name and settings. GET /v1/data/feeds/{source_id}.
source_idrequiredGet data feed
One data feed of a source by id. GET /v1/data/feeds/{source_id}/{feed_id}.
feed_idrequiredsource_idrequiredGet account summary
The account's subscription, resources and utilization (queries, records, filter chains, monitors, ... against the plan limits). GET /v1/account/summary.
Takes no parameters.
Get query usage statistics
DNS query counts for the whole account, one zone, or one record (give zone, or zone + domain + type). period is 1h, 24h or 30d; aggregate, expand, limit and after apply to the account and zone levels only (a record takes just period). If next_page is not null, call again with its after/limit. GET /v1/stats/usage[/{zone}[/{domain}/{type}]].
typezoneafterlimitdomainexpandperiodaggregateGet queries per second
Current queries per second for the whole account, one zone, or one record (give zone, or zone + domain + type). GET /v1/stats/qps[/{zone}[/{domain}/{type}]].
typezonedomainGet records usage (billing)
How many DNS records the account uses against its plan limit in the current billing cycle. GET /billing-usage/v1/records.
Takes no parameters.
Get query usage (billing)
Billable DNS query usage between two Unix timestamps. GET /billing-usage/v1/queries?from=&to=.
torequiredfromrequiredCreate DNS record
WRITE: creates ONE new DNS record and CHANGES LIVE DNS for that name as soon as NS1 serves it; a wrong answer can take a site or mail offline. Plain records only (A, AAAA, ALIAS, CAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SRV, TXT; no NS/SOA, no traffic-steering filters or metadata). Refuses when the record already exists (use ns1_update_record). Answers are lists of rdata fields: A ["192.0.2.10"], MX [10, "mail.example.com."], TXT ["v=spf1 -all"], SRV [10, 5, 5060, "sip.example.com."], CAA [0, "issue", "letsencrypt.org"]. PUT /v1/zones/{zone}/{domain}/{type}.
ttltyperequiredzonerequireddomainrequiredanswersrequiredUpdate DNS record
WRITE: changes ONE existing DNS record and CHANGES LIVE DNS for that name immediately. Giving answers REPLACES all current answers of the record (send the complete new set); giving only ttl changes just the TTL. Plain records only (A, AAAA, ALIAS, CAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SRV, TXT): when answers are given, a record that uses traffic-steering filters, links or per-answer metadata is refused (edit it in the NS1 portal). Fails if the record does not exist. POST /v1/zones/{zone}/{domain}/{type}.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
