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

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a .env file 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 servers
• set_custom_dns: Sets domain to use custom DNS servers
• get_dns_list: Gets a list of DNS servers for a domain
• get_hosts: Gets host records for a domain
• set_hosts: Sets host records for a domain
• get_email_forwarding: Gets email forwarding settings for a domain
• set_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"
