Direct domain manipulation in Cursor

Inject live domain data into your coding session by calling `list_domains` or `get_domain`. The agent uses these inputs to write configuration files based on your actual infrastructure. Stop guessing your zone settings. With `list_zone_records`, the agent reads your current setup and proposes accurate changes based on the live API response.

Programmatic DNS record management

Use `create_zone_record` and `delete_zone_record` to modify your infrastructure as you refactor your backend. The AI generates code that directly calls these tools, ensuring your DNS matches your deployment. Batch operations are just as simple. Use `batch_change_zone_records` to update multiple entries at once without creating drift between your environments.

Security and certificate automation

Automate your SSL workflow by using `issue_letsencrypt_certificate` directly from your editor. The agent handles the order and retrieval via the server tools. You can also manage security layers like WHOIS privacy. Toggle `enable_whois_privacy` or `disable_whois_privacy` while you're already focused on your security audit.

Setup guide

Set up DNSimple MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the DNSimple MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent DNSimple transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the DNSimple tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

Common questions about DNSimple MCP in Cursor

Define the server in your .cursor/mcp.json file. Once added, enable agent mode in your chat to start calling domain tools directly.

Yes. If your API token has write permissions, the agent can execute record changes. Always verify the AI's plan before confirming a write operation.

The agent treats each tool as a function call. It will analyze your request, pick the right tool, and show you the API output before finalizing the action.

No. The MCP server facilitates a direct connection. Your domain data stays within the local process and the API provider.

You provide the API token as an environment variable in your config. This token never leaves your local machine and is used solely for signing API requests.
