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

Q: How do I configure the NameSilo (Domain Registrar Developer API) in Windsurf?

Open your mcpconfig.json file in Windsurf or use the Settings UI under Cascade. Add the MCP server details to the mcpServers block and click Refresh in the MCP panel. Cascade will automatically discover the 18 NameSilo tools.

Q: Can Cascade renew domains before they expire?

Yes. The agent pulls expiration dates using the getdomaininfo tool. If a domain is nearing its drop date, Cascade executes renewdomain to extend the registration automatically.

Q: How does NameSilo (Domain Registrar Developer API) handle empty account balances in Windsurf?

Cascade monitors your available credit using the getaccountbalance endpoint. If a registration or renewal fails due to insufficient funds, the agent triggers addaccountfunds to top up the account before retrying the operation.

Q: Can I transfer domains from another registrar using this MCP Server?

The transferdomain tool initiates the inbound transfer process. You still need the authorization code from the losing registrar, which you pass to Windsurf in your prompt so the agent can submit the API request.

Windsurf connects directly to the NameSilo API to register domains and configure DNS records autonomously.

Autonomous Domain Provisioning in Windsurf

The `register_domain` tool gives Windsurf direct write access to your NameSilo account to claim available domains. Cascade checks availability using `check_register_availability` and immediately registers the domain if it fits your project parameters. You don't have to log into a web portal to complete the checkout. Cascade verifies your balance with `get_account_balance`, pulls the required funds if needed via `add_account_funds`, and associates the domain with a contact profile using `contact_add` in one continuous execution.

Automated DNS Zone Configuration

The `dns_add_record` tool writes A, CNAME, TXT, and MX records straight to the NameSilo nameservers. When you spin up a new server or configure email, Cascade queries your current zone file via `dns_list_records` to prevent duplicate entries. If an IP address changes, your agent automatically drops the old pointer with `dns_delete_record` and pushes the new one using `dns_update_record`. This keeps your infrastructure routing functional without manual DNS propagation checks.

Bulk Portfolio Organization

The `list_portfolios` tool reads your domain groupings so Windsurf can assign newly registered domains to the correct internal project. If a project doesn't exist, Cascade generates it using `portfolio_add`. Managing WHOIS details happens through the contact tools. Your agent pulls existing profiles via `contact_list` and patches outdated phone numbers or email addresses across your entire domain fleet using `contact_update`.
