Read-Only Mode (Default)

By default, porkbun-mcp runs in read-only mode for safety. Write operations (create, edit, delete) will return an error until explicitly enabled.

Enabling Write Operations

To let the pig get muddy and make changes:

Environment variable:

export PORKBUN_GET_MUDDY=true

CLI flag:

uvx porkbun-mcp --get-muddy

Usage

Run directly with uvx (no installation required):

uvx porkbun-mcp

SSE transport

uvx porkbun-mcp --transport sse
