Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the DNSimple MCP Server?
Connect your DNSimple account to any AI agent to automate your domain infrastructure and DNS management through natural language.
What you can do
- Domain Management — List all domains in your account, create new ones, or retrieve detailed metadata for existing domains.
- DNSSEC Control — Enable, disable, or check the status of DNSSEC for any domain to ensure cryptographic security.
- DS Records — Manage Delegation Signer (DS) records with tools to list, create, retrieve, and delete them for advanced DNS configurations.
- Email Forwarding — List, create, and inspect email forwarding rules to manage your communication flow without leaving your agent.
- Account Identity — Quickly identify the authenticated entity and list all accessible accounts and their IDs.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your DNSimple API Token
- Start managing your domains from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI acts as a specialized DevOps assistant, handling complex DNS operations with precision and speed.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — automate domain provisioning and DNSSEC configurations directly from the terminal or chat.
- Web Developers — check domain statuses and manage email forwards without switching to the DNSimple dashboard.
- IT Administrators — audit multiple accounts and list domains across different organizational units efficiently.

Every tool call from Windsurf to the DNSimple MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I check if DNSSEC is enabled for a specific domain?
You can use the get_dnssec tool by providing the Account ID and the Domain name. The agent will return the current DNSSEC status and details.
Can I list all domains across all my DNSimple accounts?
First, use list_accounts to see all available Account IDs. Then, use list_domains with each specific Account ID to retrieve the domains associated with that account.
Is it possible to manage email forwarding rules through this agent?
Yes! You can use list_email_forwards to see existing rules or create_email_forward to set up a new one for a specific domain.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
