# NameSilo MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > NameSilo (Domain Registrar Developer API) lets you manage your entire domain portfolio and DNS records through an AI agent. You can register new domains, update records like A or MX, check availability, and manage transfers or renewals without switching tabs. It's the direct connection for anyone who needs to handle domain infrastructure at scale. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_WgKxkiOB9iaYcTqCBdZhMSHy0CUbugB4MXHq83E1/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** domain-registrar, dns-management, namesilo, whois, devops ## Description Managing a domain portfolio usually means jumping between different registrar dashboards, copy-pasting DNS records, and keeping a manual spreadsheet of renewal dates. This Connector changes that by giving your AI agent a direct line to your NameSilo account. Instead of hunting through menus, you can just tell your agent to find available names, register them with specific privacy settings, or update a batch of MX records across your portfolio. You can also keep an eye on your account balance or move domains from other registrars into your NameSilo account using just natural language. It's a huge time saver for anyone who treats domain management as a core part of their infrastructure. You'll find this useful because it puts your entire domain lifecycle into a single chat interface, making it much easier to keep your records accurate and your assets organized. It's one of the many high-quality integrations hosted on Vinkius to help you get more done with fewer clicks. You can handle everything from checking WHOIS data to initiating transfers without ever leaving your current workspace. This turns a tedious administrative task into a quick conversation, ensuring your digital assets stay organized and your records stay current. It removes the friction of navigating complex web forms and helps you maintain a clean, organized overview of your entire web presence. ## Tools ### dns_update_record Modify the values of an existing DNS record.
