Connect KeyCDN to your agent to manage your content delivery network. You can build new zones and map domains without logging into a dashboard.

Short answer

How do I set up KeyCDN pull zones using AI?

You tell your agent which origin to use, and it handles the zone creation and domain mapping. This setup replaces manual dashboard entries with direct commands. You'll see the results of these actions immediately in your chat.

The outcomes

What happens when you run a command

Your agent performs the heavy lifting in KeyCDN based on your instructions.

ACTIVE

New pull zones live

The AI creates a new zone using your specified origin. Your content starts routing through the CDN right away.

MAPPED

Custom domains ready

The agent attaches your domain aliases to the new zone. This links your branded URL to the delivery network.

CONFIRMED

Setup verification

The AI checks that the zone and alias were successfully registered. You get a confirmation message in your client.

HUMAN

DNS configuration

The AI cannot modify your DNS records. You still need to manually point your CNAME to the KeyCDN addresses.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent translates your plain English into specific KeyCDN actions.

  1. Parse origin details

    The agent extracts the source URL or IP address from your message to prepare the zone.

    add_pull_zone

  2. Build the zone

    The AI sends the request to KeyCDN to register the new pull zone.

    add_pull_zone

  3. Attach domain aliases

    The agent maps your custom domain names to the newly created zone.

    add_zone_alias

  4. Report status

    The AI confirms the zone and alias are active and provides the details to you.

    add_zone_alias
