What you can do with this MCP connector
You're giving your agent full control over every domain and DNS record you own through Porkbun. Forget logging into a web console or messing with complex APIs—your AI client handles it all just by talking to you. It acts like a dedicated admin panel, letting you manage your whole digital life in one chat window.
Checking Your Domain Assets
Need to know what domains you've got registered? You can pull up a complete list of every domain currently managed under your account using the list_domains tool. If you hear whispers about squatters or want to expand, you can check if any specific domain name is available for immediate registration with check_domain_availability.
Before you commit, you'll also get current registration and renewal pricing info for supported Top-Level Domains (TLDs) via get_domain_pricing.
DNS Record Control: Build It or Break It
You never have to manually type out complex record structures again. The agent lets you manage all types of DNS records—A, MX, CNAME, and TXT—for any domain you own. You can add a brand new record using create_dns_record. If something changes on the fly, tell it to modify an existing entry; that's what edit_dns_record does.
And if a record is garbage or no longer needed? Just point it out, and the agent deletes it with delete_dns_record.
To audit everything—like figuring out why a site isn't resolving properly—you can use retrieve_dns_records. This tool gathers and displays every single existing DNS record for one specific domain name. It gives you a full picture of your setup.
Security & Certificates
For security, the agent handles SSL certificates. You can download the necessary bundle files required for SSL certs tied to your domains using retrieve_ssl_bundle. This means no more manual downloads or hunting down certificate keys—it brings them straight to you.
Your AI client uses these tools to execute everything instantly when you talk to it, letting you manage domain registration, DNS records, and security assets without touching a dashboard.
How Porkbun MCP Works
- 1 You subscribe to this server and provide your Porkbun API Key and Secret Key.
- 2 Your AI client connects these credentials, giving it permission to interact with your domain account.
- 3 You prompt the agent (e.g., 'Create a TXT record for example.com'). The agent executes the necessary tool call and reports success or failure.
The bottom line is that you use natural language prompts; the server handles all the API calls to Porkbun in the background.
Who Is Porkbun MCP For?
This is for anyone who deals with infrastructure setup and domain maintenance. Forget logging into web dashboards just to change a record. If you're the DevOps engineer who spends too much time clicking through DNS consoles, or the developer who needs to check 10 domain names before lunch, this saves your finger cramps.
Automates routine infrastructure tasks like deploying new TXT records for verification or running bulk checks across multiple domains.
Quickly verifies domain availability and gets pricing data when kicking off a new project without leaving their IDE or chat window.
Monitors large portfolios, listing all domains via list_domains and tracking TLD pricing trends to make acquisition decisions.
What Changes When You Connect
- Stop logging into separate web consoles. You can list all your assets using
list_domainsand manage them—from creating a record to retrieving the SSL bundle—all through one conversation with your AI agent. - Immediate domain checks are critical. Use
check_domain_availabilitybefore you commit to a project name, then useget_domain_pricingto confirm costs instantly. - DNS changes happen fast. Instead of manually building record types and values, just tell the agent what you need (e.g., 'I need an MX record for my main site'), and it runs
create_dns_recordcorrectly. - Troubleshooting is faster. If a domain isn't resolving, use
retrieve_dns_recordsto pull up all current settings immediately, bypassing the visual clutter of the web interface. - It covers the whole lifecycle. You can check pricing with
get_domain_pricing, list your entire portfolio withlist_domains, and then update records usingedit_dns_record—a complete workflow in chat.
Real-World Use Cases
Setting up a new client site.
A developer needs to set up three subdomains for a new client. Instead of visiting the Porkbun console multiple times, they prompt their agent: 'I need A records for dev.client.com and staging.client.com.' The agent runs create_dns_record twice in sequence, confirming both entries instantly.
Auditing a complex site migration.
An ops engineer suspects DNS settings are wrong after a migration. They ask the agent to 'Show me all records for example.com.' The agent runs retrieve_dns_records, providing a clean, consolidated list so the engineer can spot the incorrect entry.
Acquiring domain names in bulk.
A domain investor needs to check 20 potential TLDs and see their cost. They ask the agent to 'Check pricing for .info, .xyz, and .store.' The agent uses get_domain_pricing repeatedly, giving a quick price comparison list.
Cleaning up old records.
A developer finished a test project and needs to remove associated DNS records. They tell the agent: 'Delete all TXT records for old-test.net.' The agent uses delete_dns_record efficiently, preventing configuration clutter.
The Tradeoffs
Guessing record types.
Trying to manually construct a complex DNS entry (e.g., forgetting whether it should be a CNAME or an A record) and submitting incorrect data via the API client.
→
Let your AI agent handle the structure. Just tell it, 'I need my subsite pointing to this IP address.' The agent calls create_dns_record with the correct type (A) and value automatically.
Overlooking current domains.
Focusing only on new domain registrations without realizing you forgot 5 existing, critical assets that need updating or monitoring.
→
Start by running list_domains. This guarantees you see every asset in your portfolio before starting any changes.
Ignoring SSL requirements.
Setting up a website and forgetting to retrieve the required certificate bundle because it wasn't part of the initial DNS setup task.
→
After setting records, always run retrieve_ssl_bundle for that domain. This ensures you have the necessary security files ready.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP Server if your core workflow involves managing infrastructure: registering domains, changing DNS records (A, MX, CNAME), or auditing current settings. It's a direct replacement for logging into multiple domain registrar web consoles.
Don't use it if you just need to brainstorm ideas or write code logic that doesn't involve networking endpoints. For example, if your task is merely 'Write me an article about DNS,' this server does nothing. But if the task is 'Update the SPF record for my blog,' then edit_dns_record is exactly what you need. If you only want to check pricing without making changes, get_domain_pricing is all you require.

Available Capabilities
Changing a DNS record shouldn't require five different tabs and copy-pasting an API key.
Today, updating something simple—like changing a TXT record or checking domain availability—means navigating through the registrar's web console. You click to log in, find the correct domain, locate the DNS section, then manually input the record type, value, and TTL. It’s tedious, error-prone, and wastes time.
With this Porkbun MCP Server, you talk to your agent. You simply say, 'Update the SPF record for example.com.' The agent uses `edit_dns_record` instantly, handling all the API calls behind the scenes. You get confirmation in seconds—no web login required.
Porkbun MCP Server: Get full domain control via conversation.
Manually checking a large portfolio requires running multiple lookups, then comparing the results across spreadsheets. If you need to check availability for 30 names, that's 30 separate web sessions and manual logging of pricing data using `get_domain_pricing`.
Now, ask your agent to run bulk checks or list everything via `list_domains`. It pulls all the necessary raw data—the list, the pricing, the records—and presents it cleanly. You work off one screen, not 30 browser tabs.
Common Questions About Porkbun MCP
How do I update an existing record using edit_dns_record? +
You tell your agent exactly what needs changing. For instance: 'Edit the A record for my site to point to 192.0.2.1.' The agent runs edit_dns_record and handles the syntax.
Can I check domain availability before buying? +
Yes, use check_domain_availability. Just give it the name you want, and the server tells you if it's free to register. This saves time on guesswork.
What is the difference between list_domains and retrieve_dns_records? +
list_domains shows every domain you own (the names). retrieve_dns_records drills down into one specific domain to show all its technical records (A, MX, CNAME, etc.).
Does Porkbun MCP Server handle multiple record types? +
Yes. The system supports creating and managing common types like A, MX, CNAME, TXT, and more through the create_dns_record tool.
What does the `retrieve_ssl_bundle` tool actually give me? +
It pulls the actual SSL certificate files for a given domain. This function retrieves the full bundle needed for deployment, not just a link to it. It's essential when you need the raw keys and certificates for your application.
If I want to check prices for many different extensions, how do I use `get_domain_pricing`? +
You provide the list of TLDs or specific domains in the prompt. The tool returns current registration and renewal pricing data for those extensions. This helps you compare costs across various top-level domains before purchasing.
What are the risks when running `delete_dns_record`? +
Deleting a DNS record is permanent and immediate. You must confirm exactly which record (A, CNAME, MX, etc.) you want to remove from the specified domain. Double-check your records before executing this command.
Before running any commands like `list_domains`, what credentials do I need? +
You must provide your Porkbun API Key and Secret Key when setting up the connection. These are required to authenticate your AI agent with your account, allowing it to read and write data from your domain portfolio.
Can I see all DNS records for a domain at once? +
Yes! Use the retrieve_dns_records tool with your domain name. It will return a complete list of all active records including A, CNAME, MX, and TXT entries.
Is it possible to check if a domain is available for purchase? +
Absolutely. Use the check_domain_availability tool to query any domain name. The agent will tell you if it's available for registration.
Can I delete a DNS record if I made a mistake? +
Yes. Use the delete_dns_record tool by providing the domain and the specific record ID. This will permanently remove the record from Porkbun's nameservers.
