Implementation Reference
- src/sherlock_mcp/server.py:182-195 (handler)The main handler function for the 'update_dns' MCP tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool() for automatic registration and schema generation. The function delegates the core logic to the external Sherlock library's _update_dns_record method, wrapped in handle_response.@mcp.tool() async def update_dns(domain_id: str, record_id: str, type: str = "TXT", name: str = "test-2", value: str = "test-2", ttl: int = 3600): """ Update an existing DNS record for a domain.
