What it does

Official server for Porkbun's domain and DNS APIs. Check what a record points at, when a certificate or domain expires, whether the DNS change from last week actually landed. It can also spend money, which is exactly the scope to leave off the token.

Install

Terminal

npx -y @porkbunllc/mcp-server

Client configuration

Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any client that reads mcpServers), then restart the client.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "porkbun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@porkbunllc/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Checking a domain's DNS records and expiry

Skip it if

Registering or transferring domains; those need a human

When to use it

Reach for this when the task needs domains inside the agent loop. Skip it if a plain shell command or a one-off script is enough — every server you add costs context and adds a failure mode.

Other TypeScript servers

Filesystem — Gives an agent scoped read, write, and search access to directories you explicitly allow
Memory — A persistent knowledge graph stored in a local JSON file, exposed through entities, relations, and observations
Sequential Thinking — Gives the model a scratchpad for structured, revisable reasoning: numbered thoughts that can branch, revise, and conclude
