porkbun-mcp 1.1.0

MCP server for Porkbun DNS API

porkbun-mcp

MCP server for the Porkbun DNS API.

Manage DNS records, domains, DNSSEC, SSL certificates, and more via the Model Context Protocol.

Configuration

Set your Porkbun API credentials as environment variables:

export PORKBUN_API_KEY="pk1_..."
export PORKBUN_SECRET_KEY="sk1_..."

Get your API keys from the Porkbun API Access page.

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
