# Porkbun MCP server > Register and manage Porkbun domains, DNS records, SSL certificates, URL forwards and static or WordPress hosting. - Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/porkbun - Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint. - Type: remote (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth sign-in - Category: [Cloud & DevOps](https://mcp.tc/c/cloud-devops) - Vendor: Porkbun - Homepage: - Docs: - Repository: - Package: npm `@porkbunllc/mcp-server` ## 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. ## What it can do - Check domain availability and pricing, singly or up to 25 at once - Register, renew and transfer domains - Create, update, delete and restore DNS records - Manage DNSSEC, glue records and URL forwarding - Retrieve free SSL certificate bundles - Deploy static sites and provision WordPress hosting - View balance, invoices and top up account credit - Search Porkbun API docs and test in a sandbox ## Tools (107) -

Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http porkbun https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp ``` 2. 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 1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **Porkbun** and paste this URL: ```url https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp ``` 3. 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 1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you: [Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings) 2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. 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 1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**. 2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server. 3. 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]() (opens Cursor) Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project): `mcp.json`: ```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]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash 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`: ```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 1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows): `mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "porkbun": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp" } } } ``` 2. 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 ```bash codex mcp add porkbun --url https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp codex mcp login porkbun ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.porkbun] url = "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp" ``` ### Gemini CLI ```bash 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. ```json { "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`. ## Details - Server version: 0.43.5 - Last checked: 2026-10-03 (reachable, asks for credentials) - Listed: 2026-10-03 - Updated: 2026-10-03 --- Source: https://mcp.tc/i/porkbun (mcp.tc is an independent directory, not affiliated with this server's publisher).
