How to Use the NameSilo (Domain Registrar Developer API) MCP in Cline

Q: How do I group domains for different clients in Cline?

Use the portfolio tools. Cline calls portfolioadd to create a new client group, then assigns newly registered domains to that specific portfolio. You view them later via listportfolios.

Cline uses the NameSilo API to buy domains, configure DNS, and map your local projects to live URLs directly inside VS Code.

End-to-End DNS Management in VS Code

The `dns_add_record` tool allows Cline to map the services it just built to actual public domains. You tell Cline to deploy a frontend, and it wires up the A and CNAME records automatically. It pulls the current state using `dns_list_records` to ensure it doesn't overwrite critical mail servers. When tearing down a staging environment, Cline cleans up after itself. It calls `dns_delete_record` to remove obsolete subdomains and uses `dns_update_record` to point traffic back to production. You never leave the editor.

Zero-Friction Domain Purchasing

The `register_domain` tool executes domain purchases right from your VS Code terminal. Cline takes your project name, finds an open TLD with `check_register_availability`, and buys it. It handles the billing logic too. Cline checks your wallet with `get_account_balance` and triggers `add_account_funds` if the purchase requires more capital. It attaches the required WHOIS data by pulling your default profile via `contact_list`.

Automated Expiration Tracking

The `list_domains` tool pulls every active domain in your NameSilo account into Cline's context window. The agent parses the expiration dates and identifies which assets need immediate attention. Instead of waiting for warning emails, you can ask Cline to audit your portfolio. It loops through `get_domain_info` for specific details and fires off `renew_domain` for anything expiring in the next 30 days.

Common questions about NameSilo (Domain Registrar Developer API) MCP in Cline

Open the Cline sidebar in VS Code and click the MCP Servers icon. You can install it via the Marketplace tab or manually add the server URL under the Remote Servers tab.

It handles the entire contact lifecycle. Cline reads your current profiles with `contact_list`, modifies addresses using `contact_update`, or builds entirely new profiles with `contact_add`.

Use the portfolio tools. Cline calls `portfolio_add` to create a new client group, then assigns newly registered domains to that specific portfolio. You view them later via `list_portfolios`.

Only if you instruct it to manage infrastructure states. If you tell Cline to tear down a deployment, it executes `dns_delete_record` for the associated subdomains alongside deleting the local code.

The MCP server accesses your raw DNS zone files, domain expiration dates, account balances, and personal WHOIS contact data. Cline keeps this information strictly within your local VS Code environment, sending it exclusively to NameSilo to execute requested changes.
