Before you connect
Questions about Gandi.net.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use the Gandi.net MCP to manage my email accounts?
Yes. You can use it to list all mailboxes for a domain, create new ones, and manage aliases directly through your AI client.
Does the Gandi.net MCP work for my existing hosting?
It works specifically for your Gandi.net Simple Hosting instances. You can retrieve technical details or list all your active hosting records.
How do I connect my Gandi.net account to my AI agent?
You just need to subscribe to the Connector on Vinkius and provide your Gandi.net API Key (v5). Your agent will then have the permissions to manage your assets.
Can I use the Gandi.net MCP to check if a domain name is taken?
Yes, you can ask your agent to check the availability of any domain name, and it will let you know if it's free for registration.
Is this Connector safe for my DNS records?
It uses your official Gandi.net API Key to perform actions. You have full control over what the agent does, and it only interacts with the services you authorize.
Can I manage multiple organizations with the Gandi.net MCP?
Yes, the Connector allows you to list and retrieve details for the various organizations and billing entities associated with your account.
Can I check if a domain is available for registration using this capability?
Yes! Use the check_domain capability with the FQDN you're interested in. The agent will return the availability status directly from Gandi's registry.
How do I update a DNS record for one of my domains?
You can use the update_dns_record capability. You'll need to provide the domain (fqdn), the record name (like 'www'), the type (like 'A'), and the new record data in JSON format.
Can I see my hosting instances and their status?
Absolutely. Use the list_hosting_instances capability to get an overview of all your hosting services, or get_hosting_instance for detailed information on a specific one.
