How to Use the NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) MCP in AutoGen
Debate and execute DNS changes using AutoGen agents with the NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Agentic debates on DNS strategy
Configure a team of agents where one proposes a traffic shift via `update_record` and another reviews the potential impact. They negotiate the best path forward before the MCP Server executes the change. This process adds a layer of scrutiny to your infrastructure management. By having separate agents debate the change, you catch configuration errors before they hit your production DNS.
Secure monitoring with AutoGen
Use a dedicated security agent to monitor the output of `list_monitoring_jobs` for anomalies. If it detects an issue, it can initiate a conversation with an operations agent to resolve the problem. The agents work together to ensure that every `create_monitoring_job` call aligns with your security policies. They provide a consensus-driven approach to maintaining your infrastructure uptime.
Automated DNS zone negotiation
Let your agents deliberate on zone settings using `get_zone` and `update_zone`. They can compare your current settings against best practices and suggest modifications based on their collective findings. This setup is ideal for complex environments where DNS changes require approval from different technical domains. The agents document their reasoning during the debate, providing an audit trail for every change they decide to make.
Set up NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) MCP in AutoGen
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
autogen-ext[mcp]package - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install AutoGen with MCP
Run
pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includesmcp_server_toolsfor stateless tool access. - 2
Fetch tools from the MCP
Call
mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...))with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Run your agent
Pass the tools to
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) tools and returns structured results.
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
server_params = SseServerParams(
url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)
agent = AssistantAgent(
name="NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API)_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) data")
print(result.messages[-1].content) Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
autogen-ext[mcp]+autogen-agentchat - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies
Same packages as above.
McpWorkbenchis ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls. - 2
Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in
async with McpWorkbench(...)to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle. - 3
Run with workbench
Pass
workbench=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
server_params = SseServerParams(
url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
agent = AssistantAgent(
name="NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API)_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) data")
