Dynadot MCP

Model Context Protocol server for the Dynadot v3 API (api3.json). Lets Claude (or any MCP client) manage your Dynadot domains, DNS, contacts, nameservers, folders, and the aftermarket.

Tools

The server exposes tools across the following Dynadot API surface areas:

• Domains — search (single / bulk), register (single / bulk), renew, transfer-in, delete (grace), restore, list, get info, appraisal, lock, forwarding (HTTP / stealth / email), renew option, WHOIS contacts, folder, nameservers, hosting, parking, privacy, DNSSEC, DNS records (set/get/clear), push (request / send), notes, transfer status / auth code

• Contacts — CRUD plus EU / LT / LV TLD-specific settings, and the .CN audit flow

• Nameservers — register, add, set IP, list, delete (single / by-domain)

• Orders — list, get status, processing check, cancel transfer, authorize transfer-away, set transfer auth code

• Account — info, balance, default WHOIS / nameservers / parking / forwarding / stealth / hosting / renew option / DNS / email-forward, clear defaults, list coupons

• Folders — list, create, delete, rename, apply WHOIS / nameservers / parking / forwarding / stealth / hosting / DNS / email-forward / renew option, clear settings

• Aftermarket — backorders (add / delete / list), expired-domain auctions (open / closed / details / bids / place bid), backorder auctions, expired closeout (list / buy), public marketplace listings (browse / get item / Buy-It-Now), set-for-sale, Afternic / Sedo confirmations

• TLDs — pricing

All tool names are prefixed dynadot_. Domain names passed to any tool are automatically punycoded for IDN support (krämer.ai → xn--krmer-hra.ai).

Note on auctions: The auction-related endpoints (get_open_auctions, place_auction_bid, etc.) require Dynadot to grant your account auction-API access. Without it, those calls return 403 — contact Dynadot support to enable.

Install

From npm

npm install -g dynadot-mcp-server

From GitHub Packages

npm install -g @eyalm321/dynadot-mcp --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com

Configuration

Set the API key as an environment variable:

export DYNADOT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Get an API key from the Dynadot API Settings page.

Use with Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dynadot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "dynadot-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DYNADOT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test

Run the server against your local build:

DYNADOT_API_KEY=your_key node dist/index.js

Releasing

Pushing to main runs CI (tests + build on Node 20 and 22). Publishing to npm and GitHub Packages happens when a GitHub Release is published — bump the version in package.json, tag, and create a release; the Publish workflow takes it from there.
