How do I connect this MCP to my NS1 account?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your NS1 API Key. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start interacting with your NS1 data.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I manage traffic steering with my agent?

Yes. You can configure filters and answers for advanced traffic management and global load balancing through your agent.

Does this MCP support monitoring?

Yes. You can list existing monitoring jobs, create new ones, and check available monitoring regions.

Is my NS1 API key secure?

Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages your credentials securely, so you don't have to manage the connection manually in every client.

Can I create a new DNS zone using this server?

Yes! Use the create_zone capability with the zone name (e.g., 'example.com'). You can also optionally set TTL, refresh, and expiry values during creation.

How do I add a record with specific answers for traffic steering?

Use the create_record capability. You can provide a JSON array of answers (e.g., IP addresses) and a JSON array of filters to define how NS1 should steer traffic between those answers.

Can I see my active monitoring jobs and their status?

Yes, the list_monitoring_jobs capability retrieves all configured monitoring jobs, allowing your AI agent to report on the health and status of your monitored endpoints.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.
