Perplexity

Full domain lifecycle control for Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and your terminal to update DNS records. You can now use `create_domain`, `delete_domain`, and `list_domains` to audit your entire portfolio without leaving your workspace. Everything stays in sync. When you call `get_domain`, the server pulls live status updates so you know exactly what’s registered and what’s available.

Automated DNSSEC and email forwarding

Secure your zones instantly by invoking `enable_dnssec` or checking existing records with `get_ds_record`. It handles the handshake so you don't have to manually verify keys. You can also manage complex routing using `create_email_forward` and `delete_email_forward`. The MCP Server executes these requests against the API in real-time.

System state awareness and account management

Get immediate visibility into your setup with `get_whoami` and `list_accounts`. This lets you verify your current authentication scope before running batch updates. If you need to change delegation settings, use `change_domain_delegation` to point your nameservers correctly. All operations are logged through the server's standard transport.
