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.

Explore PNTR's mcp dns server

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http pntr https://api.pntr.dev/mcp

Setup

  1. 1

    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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
