Namecheap MCP Service
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) service for interacting with the Namecheap API, specifically focusing on DNS-related operations.
Overview
The Namecheap MCP service provides a standardized interface for AI models to interact with the Namecheap API. It allows for managing DNS settings, email forwarding, and host records for domains registered with Namecheap.
Setup
- Clone this repository
- Create a
.envfile with your Namecheap API credentials:SANDBOX=false # Set to true for testing API_KEY=your_api_key USERNAME=your_username CLIENT_IP=your_client_ip
Usage
Available Functions
The service exposes the following functions:
set_default_dns: Sets domain to use Namecheap's default DNS serversset_custom_dns: Sets domain to use custom DNS serversget_dns_list: Gets a list of DNS servers for a domainget_hosts: Gets host records for a domainset_hosts: Sets host records for a domainget_email_forwarding: Gets email forwarding settings for a domainset_email_forwarding: Sets email forwarding for a domain
Using with AI Code Editor
To use this MCP service with your code editor, add the following configuration to your code editor's MCP config file (typically located at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json):
"mcpServers": {
"Namecheap": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--with",
"mcp[cli]",
"mcp",
"run",
"namecheap-mcp/src/main.py"
]
}
}
After configuring the MCP service in your code editor, you can interact with the Namecheap API using natural language. For example:
- "Get the DNS records for example.com"
- "Set example.com to use Namecheap's default DNS servers"
- "Update the host records for example.com"
