Porkbun MCP¶

The registrar's own MCP server, built for agents. Porkbun's official MCP server gives assistants direct, scoped access to a Porkbun account: domain availability and pricing, registration, renewal and transfers, DNS records, nameservers, glue records, DNSSEC, URL forwarding and static hosting. It is designed for agent safety: idempotent writes, dry-run first on risky operations, and stable error codes.

Server type: Remote (Streamable HTTP), plus local npx option
Auth: OAuth (Porkbun account sign-in) hosted; API keys for local use
Endpoint: https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp
Tools: grouped capability set from the listing (domains, DNS, hosting, safety nets)
Pricing: Porkbun account (domain costs apply)
Category: Business Operations
Built by: Porkbun (official)

Why This Matters for Operators¶

Domains and DNS are business infrastructure that breaks at the worst times, usually after a manual change. Porkbun's MCP server moves that surface into the assistant with guardrails built in: preflight a risky change to see what would break, roll a DNS zone back to an earlier restore point, and dry-run billable or destructive operations before they execute.

Writes are idempotent so a retry never double-charges or double-applies, money is handled in integer cents, and every error carries a stable code with a suggested next step. Operators who already manage Porkbun domains get this without a second vendor.

Tools & Capabilities¶

Capability group	What it covers
Domains	Check availability and pricing, register, renew and transfer domains, see renewal dates
DNS	Create, edit and delete records, change nameservers, manage glue records and DNSSEC
Safety nets	Preflight a risky change to see what would break, roll a DNS zone back to an earlier restore point
Hosting	Set up Porkbun Secure Static Hosting and deploy a site straight from the assistant
More	URL forwarding, domain contacts, webhooks, and domains connected to your own Cloudflare account

Installation¶

claude mcp add porkbun --transport http https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp

Local option for coding agents that manage their own keys:

npx -y @porkbunllc/mcp-server

Set PORKBUN_API_KEY and PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY from the Porkbun API settings page.

Configuration¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "porkbun": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The hosted endpoint signs in with your Porkbun account and approves access; no API key is required for the hosted mode.

Business Relevance¶

Operators delegate domain renewals, transfers and DNS changes with dry-run safety
Web shops ship DNS records and static hosting deploys from one assistant session
Teams get a scoped, idempotent registrar surface instead of shared console logins
Agencies manage client domains with preflight checks before risky changes

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

Porkbun handles the domain plumbing around the assets CorpusIQ tracks. A composed workflow: CorpusIQ reports a store's health from Shopify or Stripe, the assistant drafts the fix, and Porkbun executes the DNS or hosting change with a preflight first - domain changes stay safe while business data drives the decision.

Limitations¶

Requires a Porkbun account; the server only reaches your own account
Listing does not publish a static tool table; capabilities above are the vendor's published groups
Local npx mode needs API key management on the client side
Domain and hosting costs remain standard Porkbun pricing

FAQ¶

What are the two connection modes?¶

Hosted: add mcp.porkbun.com/mcp as a custom connector and sign in with your Porkbun account, no API keys. Local: run npx -y @porkbunllc/mcp-server with PORKBUN_API_KEY and PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY.

How does it protect against mistakes?¶

Billable and destructive operations support a dry run first, writes are idempotent so retries never double-apply, and DNS zones can roll back to an earlier restore point.

Can it spend money without my approval?¶

The server performs the account operations you approve during sign-in. Its own safety design is dry-run first on billable operations, with money always in integer cents and stable error codes for every failure.
