DNS record manipulation in Cursor

Stop jumping between your editor and the browser. Use the agent to call `get_record` or `delete_record` while you refactor your backend code. This keeps your infrastructure state synced with your codebase. The AI agent handles the API interaction while you stay in the flow of writing your application.

Automated infrastructure steering

Bind your application health to your DNS routing using `push_data_feed`. Your agent can automate traffic shifts based on the logic you write in your IDE. It removes the latency of manual dashboard updates. You define the thresholds, and the agent executes the `update_record` calls when conditions change.

Complete zone lifecycle control

Manage entire DNS zones from the command palette. Use `list_zones` to find your targets and `update_zone` to change settings without leaving your workspace. Every action is logged in your chat, creating an audit trail of your infrastructure changes. It turns your DNS management into a repeatable, code-driven process.

Common questions about NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) MCP in Cursor

Add the server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file. Once saved, enable Agent mode to start calling the tools directly from your chat.

Absolutely. You can request changes to specific DNS records, and the agent will execute the corresponding tool call to update the NS1 platform.

It does. Agent mode allows the AI to plan and execute multiple tool calls, such as listing zones and then updating a specific record in one go.

The server only interacts with the records you explicitly query or modify. Your DNS data is handled through your authenticated API connection.

The server requires your API key stored in your environment. It uses this key to authenticate requests directly to the IBM platform, keeping your secrets out of the codebase.
