Porkbun

Q: Is Porkbun a remote or a local server?

Remote. Porkbun hosts it at https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

Q: What can Porkbun do?

It has 107 tools, including ping, check_domain and check_domains. You can check domain availability and pricing, singly or up to 25 at once, register, renew and transfer domains and create, update, delete and restore DNS records.

listing.about

Connects to the Porkbun v3 API. You can check domain availability and pricing, register, renew and transfer domains, edit DNS and DNSSEC records, fetch free SSL bundles, set nameservers and contacts, and provision and deploy static hosting or Cloud for WordPress. It also covers billing tools such as balance, invoices and account top-ups, plus API documentation search.

Runs as a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp with Porkbun sign-in through OAuth, so no API key is needed. A local alternative runs with npx -y @porkbunllc/mcp-server using PORKBUN_API_KEY and PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY. Documentation tools work without keys, and a free sandbox key is available for testing. Several tools spend account credit.

Claude Code

Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

claude mcp add --transport http porkbun https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp

Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick porkbun and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Porkbun sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
Name it Porkbun and paste this URL:

https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp

Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Porkbun asks.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

Add to claude.ai a11y.new_tab

Check that the URL reads https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp and click Add.
Click Connect and sign in when Porkbun asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
Paste https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Porkbun to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "porkbun": {
      "url": "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"porkbun","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "porkbun": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "porkbun": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add porkbun --url https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp
codex mcp login porkbun

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml

[mcp_servers.porkbun]
url = "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http porkbun https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth porkbun to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "porkbun": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/porkbun into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp, so your client talks to Porkbun directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Porkbun need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a Porkbun account. The first time your client connects, it opens Porkbun's sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is Porkbun a remote or a local server?

Remote. Porkbun hosts it at https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can Porkbun do?

It has 107 tools, including ping, check_domain and check_domains. You can check domain availability and pricing, singly or up to 25 at once, register, renew and transfer domains and create, update, delete and restore DNS records.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Porkbun's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
