# 🌐 Create domain and DNS records
await dns.create_domain("mysite.com", "192.168.1.100")
await dns.add_a_record("mysite.com", "www", "192.168.1.100")
await dns.add_mx_record("mysite.com", "@", "mail.mysite.com", 10)
# 🖥️ Deploy instance with smart naming

## 🎯 **Smart Identifier Resolution**
**Stop wrestling with UUIDs!** Vultr MCP's killer feature is **smart identifier resolution** - use human-readable names instead of cryptic UUIDs across all services.
### 🏷️ **Before vs After**
```bash
# 😤 The old way (UUIDs everywhere)
vultr instance stop cb676a46-66fd-4dfb-b839-443f2e6c0b60
vultr firewall rule add 5f2a4b6c-7b8d-4e9f-a1b2-3c4d5e6f7a8b --port 443
# 🎉 The Vultr MCP way (human names!)
mcp-vultr instances stop web-server
mcp-vultr firewall rules add web-servers --port 443
```
### 🧠 **Smart Resolution Across All Services**
| Service | Smart Identifier | Example |
|---------|------------------|---------|
| 🖥️ **Instances** | `label`, `hostname` | `web-server`, `api.company.com` |
| 🔑 **SSH Keys** | `name` | `laptop-key`, `ci-deploy-key` |
| 🔥 **Firewall Groups** | `description` | `web-servers`, `database-tier` |
| 📸 **Snapshots** | `description` | `backup-2024-01`, `pre-upgrade` |
| 🌐 **Reserved IPs** | IP address | `192.168.1.100` |
| 🐳 **Container Registries** | `name` | `my-app-registry` |
| 💾 **Block Storage** | `label` | `database-storage` |
| 🌐 **VPCs** | `description` | `production-network` |
| 📜 **Startup Scripts** | `name` | `docker-setup` |
| 🖥️ **Bare Metal** | `label`, `hostname` | `db-server-01` |
| 🌐 **CDN Zones** | Origin/CDN domain | `cdn.mysite.com` |
| ☸️ **Kubernetes** | `name`, `label` | `prod-cluster` |
| ⚖️ **Load Balancers** | `name`, `label` | `api-lb` |
| 🗄️ **Databases** | `name`, `label` | `postgres-main` |
| 💎 **Object Storage** | `name`, `label` | `media-bucket` |
| 🚀 **Inference Services** | `name`, `label` | `ml-api` |
| 🚪 **Storage Gateways** | `name`, `label` | `file-gateway` |
| 👥 **Subaccounts** | `name`, `email` | `dev-team` |
