Quick Start

Installation

# Using uv (recommended - fast and modern)
uv add vultr-dns-mcp

# Or using pip
pip install vultr-dns-mcp

Basic Usage

# Set your Vultr API key
export VULTR_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# List domains
vultr-dns-mcp domains list

# List DNS records
vultr-dns-mcp records list example.com

# Set up basic website DNS
vultr-dns-mcp setup-website example.com 192.168.1.100

# Run as MCP server
uv run python -m vultr_dns_mcp.server

Python API

import asyncio
from vultr_dns_mcp import VultrDNSClient

async def main():
    client = VultrDNSClient("your-api-key")
    
    # List domains
    domains = await client.domains()
    
    # Add DNS records
    await client.add_a_record("example.com", "www", "192.168.1.100")
    await client.add_mx_record("example.com", "@", "mail.example.com", 10)
    
    # Get domain summary
    summary = await client.get_domain_summary("example.com")
    print(f"Domain has {summary['total_records']} records")

asyncio.run(main())

MCP Integration

This package provides a complete MCP server that can be integrated with MCP-compatible clients:

from vultr_dns_mcp import create_mcp_server, run_server

# Create server
server = create_mcp_server("your-api-key")

# Run server
await run_server("your-api-key")

Error Handling

The package provides specific exception types for better error handling:

from vultr_dns_mcp import (
    VultrAPIError,
    VultrAuthError,
    VultrRateLimitError,
    VultrResourceNotFoundError,
    VultrValidationError
)

try:
    await client.get_domain("example.com")
except VultrAuthError:
    print("Invalid API key or insufficient permissions")
except VultrResourceNotFoundError:
    print("Domain not found")
except VultrRateLimitError:
    print("Rate limit exceeded, please try again later")
except VultrAPIError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status_code}: {e.message}")

Configuration

Set your Vultr API key via environment variable:

export VULTR_API_KEY="your-vultr-api-key"

Or pass directly to the client:

client = VultrDNSClient("your-api-key")
server = create_mcp_server("your-api-key")
