Live DNS Code Generation in Cursor

Stop writing code against mock DNS responses and pull actual zone configurations using `list_dns_records`. In Cursor, your AI agent can call this MCP server to pull actual zone configurations directly into your active workspace, allowing you to write integration scripts with real production data. When you need to automate a failover script, the editor can generate and test the logic using `update_dns_record` and `create_dns_record`. This ensures your code works against the actual Gandi API schema before you commit it.

Inline Domain Availability Checks

If you are building a domain search tool or an onboarding flow, you can test domain availability logic natively using `check_domain`. Cursor uses this tool to fetch live registration status directly into your editor, bypassing the need for manual curl tests. You can also inspect specific domain details using `get_domain` to verify contact info and expiration dates. This makes it easy to write clean, accurate domain management logic without leaving your code editor.

Managed Hosting and Mailbox Control via MCP Server

Setting up an app often requires matching mailboxes and hosting instances, which is easy when you can query your active server resources using `list_hosting_instances`. Cursor can list these resources and run `list_mailboxes` to ensure your deployment scripts align with your actual Gandi environment. If a mailbox is missing, the agent can call `create_mailbox` to provision it instantly. This keeps your workspace synchronized with your infrastructure, preventing configuration drift during development.

Common questions about Gandi.net (Domain Registration & Hosting API) MCP in Cursor

Add the server configuration to your global `~/.cursor/mcp.json` file or create a project-specific `.cursor/mcp.json` file. Once saved, Cursor's Agent mode will immediately gain access to tools like `list_domains` and `check_domain`.

Yes, if you grant it permission in the chat. The agent can invoke `update_dns_record` and `delete_dns_record` to modify your live zones based on your instructions.

It allows your AI agent to fetch live environment details using `get_hosting_instance` and write code that matches your actual production setup. You don't have to guess API payloads because the editor pulls live data.

The server accesses whatever domains are visible to the API key you provide. If you want to restrict access, use a Gandi API key that only has permissions for specific organizations using `list_organizations`.

Your credentials remain in your local config files and are only used to make direct, encrypted HTTPS requests to Gandi's API. This MCP server only transmits raw DNS records, mailbox names, and domain metadata to your local Cursor instance.
