DNS-DATA is a hosted **remote Model Context Protocol (MCP)** service. Connect a compatible AI client to computers you have registered and authorized. From your AI conversation, you can inspect systems, work with files, run supported commands, and automate your own workflows.

**Remote MCP URL:** `https://mcp.dns-data.com/mcp`  
**Transport:** Streamable HTTP · **Sign-in:** OAuth 2.0  
**Device launcher:** `@dns-data/remote@latest` (current stable release: `0.2.4`)

**Stable release update (2026-11-03):** Run `npx -y @dns-data/remote@latest` to use version `0.2.4`. Existing device pairings are preserved when updating the launcher. The internal Runtime identifier `dnsdata-native-0.2.1` is independent of the npm launcher version.

**Directory / integration note:** DNS-DATA is a **hosted Streamable HTTP MCP service** with **OAuth 2.0**. This public repository provides integration documentation and metadata; the hosted backend is proprietary. The `npx` launcher connects a user's explicitly paired computer to DNS-DATA—it is **not** the MCP URL entered in an AI client. Review [setup](docs/SETUP.md), [security](SECURITY.md), and the [official website](https://dns-data.com/) for configuration and access requirements.


> **Free monthly allowance:** 1 registered computer and **10,000 DNS-DATA MCP tool calls each month**. The allowance automatically resets for the next month (00:00 UTC on the 1st). [Set up DNS-DATA →](docs/SETUP.md)

## See what your AI can do

| Use case | Example request |
| --- | --- |
| Inspect your computer | “List my connected computers and check which ones are online.” |
| Work with files | “Show me the files in my project folder and summarize the README.” |
| Troubleshoot | “Check the running services and help diagnose why my development app stopped.” |
| Develop and automate | “Inspect the project, propose a change, and run the approved build command.” |
| Inspect your registered device | “On my connected computer, check running processes and report any unexpected errors.” |

Commands, file access, and privileged operations depend on the connected client's capabilities and the permissions granted on the selected device. **Review AI-proposed commands before allowing destructive or sensitive changes.** See [more practical examples](docs/USE-CASES.md).

## Connect in three steps

**1. Start DNS-DATA on the computer you want to use.** Install Node.js 18+ on a supported **Windows x64** or **macOS Apple Silicon** device, then run:

```bash
npx -y @dns-data/remote@latest
```

Sign in or register, follow the device pairing instructions, and confirm that the pairing code and computer details match. Keep the launcher window open while working; closing it disconnects the device.

**2. Add DNS-DATA to a compatible AI client.** In the client's remote MCP / Streamable HTTP settings, use:

```text
https://mcp.dns-data.com/mcp
```

Approve DNS-DATA OAuth authorization. The client may support automatic OAuth registration; setup details differ between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other MCP-capable applications.

**3. Try a safe first request:**

> Use DNS-DATA to list my registered devices and tell me which are online.

Then select an online device before asking the AI to perform an authorized operation. [Full setup instructions →](docs/SETUP.md)

## Free monthly allowance

The **Free** tier includes:

- **1 registered Windows or macOS computer**.
- **10,000 DNS-DATA MCP tool calls each calendar month**.
- **Automatic allowance reset next month**, at 00:00 UTC on the 1st.

With launcher version `0.2.4` or newer, exhausted Free quota triggers a bilingual notice in the running device launcher and opens the official [DNS-DATA Android app on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dnsdata.remote) for an optional subscription. Quota-limited calls can also resume after the next month's reset. Your DNS-DATA tool-call allowance does not increase the message, token or billing limits imposed by an AI provider.

## How access is controlled

- You sign in to your own DNS-DATA account and authorize the AI client through OAuth.
- Each target computer must be separately paired and registered to that account; an OAuth connection alone does not grant device access.
- The device-side runtime initiates the connection, so the standard workflow does not require exposing an inbound port on the computer.
- Operations are available only when the authorized device is online and the account's entitlements permit them.
- You can disconnect the runtime or unbind a registered device through the user console.

**Important:** An AI with terminal or file-writing access can make consequential changes. Only use computers you own or are authorized to administer; protect account credentials; verify commands and tool access. See [Security](SECURITY.md).
