MCP guide
Manage PNTR DNS from Claude Code over MCP
PNTR exposes its product actions as MCP tools. Claude Code can use the hosted HTTP server, so you do not need to keep a local PNTR process running.

Add the hosted server
Run the command below from the project where you use Claude Code. HTTP is Claude Code's recommended transport for remote MCP servers.
- 2
Open Claude Code and authenticate
Run /mcp, select PNTR, and complete the GitHub sign-in in your browser. Claude Code stores and refreshes the OAuth credentials for the connection.
- 3
Confirm the tools are available
Use /mcp to check the connection. PNTR exposes tools for subdomains, DNS records, email inboxes, captured requests, and feature toggles.
- 4
Start with a read operation
Ask Claude to list your PNTR subdomains before making changes. This confirms the account and gives the assistant the IDs and current records it needs.
- 5
Review destructive requests
Deleting a subdomain or disabling capture can remove stored data. Read the proposed action before approving it and keep secrets out of prompts.
Before you ship
Claude Code also supports project and user scopes. The default local scope is appropriate when you want PNTR available only in the current project context.
