What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
gandi_list_domainsList the domains owned by the token's user, with status, registry dates, autorenew and nameserver type. Gandi API: GET /v5/domain/domains.
gandi_get_domainGet one domain with its status, life-cycle dates (registry_ends_at, renew_begins_at, hold_begins_at), autorenew and nameserver mode. Gandi API: GET /v5/domain/domains/{domain}.
gandi_list_expiring_domainsList domains whose registry end date falls within the next N days (or has passed), soonest first. Reads up to max_pages pages of 100 domains; check complete in the result. Built from GET /v5/domain/domains.
gandi_list_livedns_domainsList the domains whose DNS is hosted in Gandi LiveDNS. Gandi API: GET /v5/livedns/domains.
gandi_list_zone_recordsList all DNS record sets in a LiveDNS zone, with name, type, TTL and values. Gandi API: GET /v5/livedns/domains/{fqdn}/records.
gandi_get_zone_recordGet one DNS record set by zone, name and type. Returns 404 when the name and type pair does not exist. Gandi API: GET /v5/livedns/domains/{fqdn}/records/{rrset_name}/{rrset_type}.
gandi_create_zone_recordCreate a DNS record set in a LiveDNS zone. It changes live DNS for the domain. Fails when the name and type pair already exists; use gandi_update_zone_record to change it. Gandi API: POST /v5/livedns/domains/{fqdn}/records/{rrset_name}/{rrset_type}.
gandi_update_zone_recordReplace all values (and optionally the TTL) of one DNS record set. It changes live DNS for the domain and drops the old values. Safe to repeat with the same input. Gandi API: PUT /v5/livedns/domains/{fqdn}/records/{rrset_name}/{rrset_type}.

Common questions
Is Gandi MCP by usefulapi safe?
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed today, and the latest version (1.1.1) reached the registry today.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

Gandi MCP by usefulapi
Use your Gandi account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read domains and LiveDNS zones, and create or update DNS records. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://gandi.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://gandi.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http gandi https://gandi.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": { "gandi": { "url": "https://gandi.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Gandi credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/gandi/
On first connect you provide a Gandi personal access token (created in Gandi Admin, with domain and LiveDNS permissions). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
