Porkbun Server

CI codecov OpenSSF Scorecard PyPI Release License: MIT Python 3.11+ pre-commit PRs welcome

Model Context Protocol server for Porkbun's API v3 — full coverage of domains, DNS records, DNSSEC, SSL bundle retrieval, glue records, URL forwarding, labels, domain registration/renewal/transfers, marketplace, account management, email hosting, and API key management.

Every mutation tool requires a reason argument and emits an audit row via a pluggable handler, so DNS changes are always traceable.

Install

pip install porkbun-mcp-server

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/Avicennasis/porkbun-mcp-server.git
cd porkbun-mcp-server
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Audit Handler

Every mutation tool emits an audit row. The handler is configured via PORKBUN_MCP_AUDIT_HANDLER:

Value	Behavior
unset or jsonl	Append JSONL to ~/.local/share/porkbun-mcp/audit.jsonl (default)
Absolute path	Shell out to the binary with --source, --category, --action, --service, --reason, --target, --payload flags
none	Disable audit (not recommended)

Audit failures are always swallowed — mutations are never blocked by logging issues.

JSONL format

{"ts": "2026-06-12T18:00:00+00:00", "source": "porkbun-mcp", "category": "dns", "action": "POST", "service": "example.com", "target": "A `www`", "reason": "point www to new server"}

Pricing Cache

get_pricing, get_pricing_for_tld, and list_supported_tlds are served from a disk cache at $XDG_CACHE_HOME/porkbun-mcp/pricing.json (default ~/.cache/porkbun-mcp/pricing.json). TTL defaults to 24 hours; override with PORKBUN_PRICING_CACHE_TTL. Pass force_refresh=true to bypass the cache. Mutable data (DNS records, domain inventory) is never cached.

Development
