What you can do with this MCP connector
This server puts your NameSilo account straight into your AI client. You don't gotta log into a dashboard; you just tell your agent what you need done, and it handles all the domain, DNS, and billing stuff for you.
Domain Control & Registration:
Want to grab a new site name or check if one’s already taken? Start by running check_register_availability—it tells you right away if that specific domain is free. If it is, use register_domain to buy the damn thing immediately with custom settings. You can also pull up all your existing domains using list_domains, or get deep into one site's history and technical data with get_domain_info.
Need to keep track of different groups of sites? Run list_portfolios to see what portfolios you got, then use portfolio_add to create a new grouping for your domains.
DNS Management:
You control every single record attached to any domain. If you're setting up web hosting or email, you need this. To start, run dns_list_records and it gives you the complete list of active records associated with that domain name. If you gotta make a new entry—like an A, CNAME, MX, or TXT record—you use dns_add_record.
Did the value change? No sweat; just fire off dns_update_record to change what an existing record points to. And if you’re done with a record and it's cluttering things up, dns_delete_record wipes it out entirely.
Domain Lifecycle & Maintenance:
Managing your domains means more than just registering them. If you need to move a domain from some other registrar over to NameSilo, use transfer_domain. Don't let anything expire; run renew_domain to extend an existing registration for multiple years. You can also manage large groups of sites by listing all available portfolios with list_portfolios, and creating new groupings using portfolio_add.
Account Billing & Contacts:
Keep track of your money and who owns the accounts. Use get_account_balance to pull up exactly how much cash you've got left. If you’re running low, run add_account_funds to put more money in the account balance.
You don't wanna lose track of people or contacts associated with your domains either. You can see every contact profile saved using contact_list. Wanna add a new person? Use contact_add to create and save their details. If someone moves, use contact_update to modify existing info, or run contact_delete to wipe out an old profile.
How NameSilo MCP Works
- 1 1. Subscribe to the server and provide your NameSilo API Key.
- 2 2. Your AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) calls a tool function using specific parameters (e.g.,
dns_add_record). - 3 3. The server executes the command against NameSilo's API and returns the status or required data.
The bottom line is: your AI client handles the authentication and calls the tools; you just tell it what domain action you need taken.
Who Is NameSilo MCP For?
This server targets anyone who manages web infrastructure but hates clicking through a registrar's dashboard. It’s for the DevOps engineer stuck on a deployment script, the web developer who needs to register staging domains fast, or the domain investor managing hundreds of names and needing programmatic oversight.
Runs scripts that automatically update DNS records during deployments or migrations. They use dns_update_record to point services.
Registers new domains for clients and configures nameservers directly from their IDE without leaving the codebase.
Checks domain availability across multiple targets using check_register_availability to quickly expand a large portfolio.
What Changes When You Connect
- Automate DNS Updates: Don't manually log in to update records. Use
dns_add_recordordns_update_recordso your agent can deploy changes immediately upon a code push. - Full Domain Visibility: Instead of clicking through multiple dashboards, use
list_domainsandget_domain_infoto pull a manifest of every domain you own in one query. This saves time. - Zero-Friction Registration: Need a staging environment? Check availability with
check_register_availability, then register it instantly usingregister_domain. All from your terminal. - Complete Lifecycle Control: Handle the entire process—from checking renewal status (
get_account_balance) to initiating transfers (transfer_domain)—without leaving your code editor. - Structured Organization: Use
list_portfoliosandportfolio_addto group domains logically. This helps large teams keep track of assets that belong together.
Real-World Use Cases
Deployment Scripting
A DevOps engineer pushes a new microservice endpoint. Instead of manually logging in, they prompt their agent: 'Update the A record for example.com to point to 192.0.2.4.' The agent uses dns_update_record and confirms the change. Deployment is faster and less error-prone.
Acquiring a New Brand Name
A web developer needs to secure three new domain names for a client's expansion. They use check_register_availability for all three, confirm they are free, and then run register_domain sequentially, logging the results.
Auditing Portfolio Health
A portfolio manager needs to know which domains expire next year. They ask their agent to list_domains, then request that any domain approaching renewal date be flagged and passed to a script for action.
Migrating Infrastructure
You are moving services from an old host. Instead of manually updating records, you tell your agent: 'Delete all existing MX records for example.com and add new ones pointing to the new mail server.' The agent executes dns_delete_record then dns_add_record.
The Tradeoffs
Manual DNS Updates
The developer has to log into NameSilo, navigate to 'DNS Management', find the correct record type (A/CNAME), input the new IP, and click save. This is slow and error-prone.
→
Use dns_update_record directly in your prompt or script. You just need to specify the domain, the record type, and the new value. The agent handles the rest.
Blind Registration
Trying to register a domain without checking if it's already taken leads to failed transactions and wasted time.
→
Always start by calling check_register_availability with your list of target domains. This confirms status before you call register_domain.
Ignoring Account Funds
Attempting to renew a domain or register a new one when the account balance is low, resulting in an immediate failure and service interruption.
→
Run get_account_balance first. If the funds are insufficient, use add_account_funds before attempting any purchase.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your workflow involves repetitive domain or DNS tasks that require API calls—think deployment pipelines, bulk renewals, or automated auditing. It's built for automation. Don't use it if you simply need to view a single record manually; then a simple text query is fine. You shouldn't use it if the required action falls outside core domain/DNS management (like advanced accounting). For financial checks, rely on get_account_balance. If you only want to see what domains exist, just run list_domains; don't try to combine this with portfolio management unless you specifically need a new grouping via portfolio_add.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 18 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Updating DNS records is usually a multi-tab nightmare.
Right now, updating critical DNS records—say, pointing your main widget URL to a new IP address—means logging into the registrar portal. You have to find the correct domain, navigate to the DNS section, locate the specific record (A, CNAME), make sure you're changing the right thing, and finally click 'Save'. It’s tedious.
With this MCP server, it changes. You tell your agent: 'Change the A record for example.com to 192.0.2.4.' The agent runs `dns_update_record`. Done. No dashboards, no clicks. Just the result.
NameSilo MCP Server: Manage domains and accounts.
Managing a large portfolio means tracking registrations, renewals, contacts, and DNS records across dozens of separate tools. Manually checking every domain's status or remembering which contact profile needs updating is a massive time sink.
The server consolidates these 18 functions. You can check balance (`get_account_balance`), list all assets (`list_domains`), update infrastructure (`dns_update_record`), and even add funds—all in one natural conversation with your agent.
Common Questions About NameSilo MCP
How do I find out what domains I own using the NameSilo MCP Server? +
Run list_domains. This tool retrieves a complete, structured list of every domain currently registered under your account.
Can I change an A record for my website's IP address with dns_update_record? +
Yes. The dns_update_record tool lets you modify existing DNS records, including changing the value of an A record to point to a new IP address.
Do I need to use add_account_funds before renewing a domain? +
It's best practice. Always run get_account_balance first. If the funds shown are low, use add_account_funds and confirm the balance before attempting a renewal.
What if I need to add multiple records for different domains? +
You'll run dns_add_record separately for each domain. The tool requires specific parameters (domain name, record type, value) per call.
When I run `get_account_balance`, how does the MCP server handle my private API keys? +
The credentials are handled securely by Vinkius. You input your unique NameSilo key once during setup, and the connection maintains it via encrypted tokens for every subsequent call.
What data points must I provide when initiating a transfer using `transfer_domain`? +
You must provide the target domain name, your account credentials, and the specific authorization code required by NameSilo. The tool validates these inputs before starting the transfer process.
If my registered organization details change, how do I use `contact_update`? +
You run contact_update and pass the existing contact profile ID along with all new data fields. The tool will overwrite only the specified fields to prevent accidental loss of information.
Can I check availability for multiple domains at once using `check_register_availability`? +
Yes, you can list several domain names in a single prompt request. The tool processes them sequentially and returns the status and pricing for every item checked.
Can I check the availability of multiple domains at once? +
Yes! Use the check_register_availability tool with a comma-separated list of domains. The agent will return the status for each one.
How do I update a specific DNS record? +
First, use dns_list_records to find the Record ID (rrid). Then, use the dns_update_record tool with that ID to modify the host or value.
Can I see my current account balance? +
Yes, the get_account_balance tool retrieves your current available funds in NameSilo.
