# What is the OpusDNS MCP Server and what can I use it for?

### What is the OpusDNS MCP Server?

The OpusDNS MCP Server exposes the OpusDNS Domain API to AI assistants like Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of writing API calls yourself, you can work with your domain portfolio in plain language, for example "show me all .com domains expiring in 30 days" or "renew example.com for one year".

The server is hosted. There is nothing to install locally, you simply connect an MCP capable client to it.

Find all technical Details here: [developers.opusdns.com/mcp-server](https://developers.opusdns.com/mcp-server)

### What can I use it for?

The server provides nine tools, grouped into three areas.

#### 1. Explore the API and run single actions

- `search_operations`: searches the API catalog for a matching command, for example "renew domain"
- `describe_operation`: shows parameters and security notes for a found operation
- `call_operation`: actually runs the operation

#### 2. Bulk changes across many domains at once

- `bulk_preview`: shows, risk free, which and how many domains a filter (selector) matches, before anything happens
- `bulk_submit`: executes the change for exactly those domains, after approval
- `job_batch_status`: shows the progress of a running batch (queued, running, succeeded, failed)
- `job_batch_control`: pauses, resumes, retries, or cancels a batch

#### 3. Portfolio at a glance

- `portfolio_summary`: returns an overview of portfolio size and what is expiring soon, no arguments needed
- `portfolio_query`: returns filtered lists limited to specific fields, so even large portfolios do not blow up the model's context

### Typical use cases

- Renew a single domain: search with `search_operations` for "renew domain", then run it with `call_operation`.
- Find expiring domains: use `portfolio_query` filtered by TLD and expiry date, for example all .com domains expiring in 30 days.
- Lock many domains against transfer: first run `bulk_preview` with the selector (for example "all .com expiring in 30 days") to check the match, then `bulk_submit` with the same parameters to execute.
