Perplexity

Edit DNS records directly inside Claude Desktop

The NameSilo DNS management tool lets you modify zone files without logging into a web console. Your agent calls `dns_add_record` and `dns_update_record` to configure A records, TXT verification keys, or MX servers instantly. When debugging a broken site, ask Claude Desktop to run `dns_list_records`. You get the exact zone layout in your chat window, allowing you to identify and fix bad configurations using `dns_delete_record` without leaving your workspace.

Register and transfer domains via Claude Desktop MCP

This MCP Server connects your local client directly to the registrar registration system. You check if a name is free with `check_register_availability` and buy it immediately using `register_domain` without opening a browser. To set up ownership details, the agent uses `contact_add` to build a registrant profile. If you have domains elsewhere, you trigger a migration with `transfer_domain` right inside the conversation thread.

Track domain portfolios and pre-funded balances

Financial control tools let you monitor your registration budget directly in Claude Desktop. The agent queries `get_account_balance` to make sure you have enough cash before triggering automated renewals. You organize assets by running `list_portfolios` or adding new groups with `portfolio_add`. If your balance runs low, the `add_account_funds` tool lets you top up the account so registrations never drop.
