How to audit custom domains with your AI

Connect Vercel to your AI client once. From then on, your agent handles the heavy lifting of checking your domain health.

Short answer

How can I audit my custom domains using AI?

Your AI pulls your domain list and specific configuration details directly from Vercel. It identifies mismatched DNS records or SSL issues so you don't have to hunt through the dashboard. You get a clear list of what's working and what's broken.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI organizes its findings into these specific categories.

DNS

Record mismatches

The AI compares your intended setup against actual Vercel records. It flags any missing CNAME or A records.

SSL

Certificate status

Your agent checks if SSL certificates are active and valid. It catches expired or pending certificates immediately.

CONFIG

Settings errors

The AI looks for misconfigured domain settings. It finds issues with redirects or incorrect domain assignments.

HUMAN

Manual fixes

The AI identifies exactly which records need manual updates in your DNS provider. You decide when to push the changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit request arrives.

The AI uses Vercel's data to run a systematic check of your infrastructure.

  1. Inventory domains

    The AI pulls a full list of every custom domain attached to your Vercel account.

    list_domains

  2. Inspect specific domains

    Once it identifies a target, the AI pulls the deep configuration data for that specific URL.

    get_domain

  3. Validate records

    The AI compares the retrieved data against standard requirements for DNS and SSL.

    get_domain

  4. Report issues

    The AI summarizes the findings, highlighting broken links or invalid configurations.

    list_domains

  • List all my domains in Vercel and tell me if any have SSL issues.

  • Check the configuration for my domain 'example.com' and look for DNS errors.

  • Are there any domains in my Vercel account that aren't correctly configured?

  • Audit 'shop.myapp.com' to see if the DNS records match what Vercel expects.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my DNS records?

    No. The AI can only read your domain data. You must make any changes manually in your DNS provider or Vercel dashboard.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete a domain?

    No. This MCP only provides read access to your domain configurations.

  • 03

    How does it know if my SSL is broken?

    It uses the data from the domain configuration to check the status of the certificate and its validity.

  • 04

    Does it check every domain in my account?

    It can. If you ask it to audit all domains, it will loop through your entire list using the available tools.

  • 05

    Can it fix a broken redirect?

    No. It can identify that a redirect is misconfigured, but it cannot execute the fix for you.
