Install

Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

List domains and expiry dates; read, create and update LiveDNS records in Gandi.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 8 things (tools) gandi_list_domains, gandi_get_domain, gandi_list_expiring_domains, gandi_list_livedns_domains …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • gandi_list_domains

    List the domains owned by the token's user, with status, registry dates, autorenew and nameserver type. Gandi API: GET /v5/domain/domains.

  • gandi_get_domain

    Get 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_domains

    List 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_domains

    List the domains whose DNS is hosted in Gandi LiveDNS. Gandi API: GET /v5/livedns/domains.

  • gandi_list_zone_records

    List 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_record

    Get 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_record

    Create 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_record

    Replace 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 3 of 3 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 –, and the latest version (1.0.1) 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?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

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 /mcp to 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.
