dreamhost-mcp

MCP server for the DreamHost API. Currently exposes DNS management and API metacommands.

Authentication

DreamHost uses an API key (not OAuth). You generate it in the panel:

  1. Open DreamHost API Keys

  2. Add a comment so you can identify the key later

  3. Enable the commands you need (at minimum: dns-list_records, dns-add_record, dns-remove_record)

  4. Click Generate a new API Key now!

  5. Copy the key — it is shown once

Set it as an environment variable:

DREAMHOST_API_KEY=your_key_here

Optional:

DREAMHOST_ACCOUNT=123456   # account number from Manage Account page

Test without your own account

DreamHost provides a read-only demo key with list-only access:

    TDQS

    A3.8/5.0

    Scored across 5 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: API key management and DNS record management are separate groups with no overlap.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent 'prefix_verb_noun' pattern using snake_case, such as api_list_keys and dns_add_record.

    Tool Count4/5

    5 tools is a reasonable number for a focused set covering API keys and DNS, though the broader DreamHost domain could justify a few more.

    Completeness3/5

    The set covers core operations but lacks DNS record update and API key creation/deletion, which are notable gaps for typical management tasks.
