Short answer

Can I manage Porkbun DNS records with my AI?

Yes. You can add, change, or remove A, MX, and TXT records by giving instructions to your agent. This setup lets you bypass the Porkbun dashboard entirely. Here is how it works.

The outcomes

What your AI handles

Your agent takes care of the technical record management.

ADD

New records added

The AI uses create_dns_record to insert new entries. You get your new A, MX, or TXT records live without manual entry.

EDIT

Records updated

The AI uses edit_dns_record to change existing values. This lets you point domains to new IPs or mail servers instantly.

REMOVE

Records deleted

The AI uses delete_dns_record to wipe out old or incorrect entries. You keep your DNS zone clean and accurate.

MANUAL

Human control

You stay in charge of the logic. The AI only executes the specific changes you authorize in chat.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent translates your plain English into Porkbun API actions.

  1. Fetch current records

    The AI pulls your existing domain data to understand the current state of your DNS settings.

    retrieve_dns_records

  2. Create new entries

    When you need a new record, the AI submits the specific type and value you requested.

    create_dns_record

  3. Modify existing entries

    The AI finds the record you want to change and applies the new configuration.

    edit_dns_record

  4. Remove old entries

    The AI clears out the specific records you no longer need.

    delete_dns_record
