Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check DNS Aid every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add dns-aid -- uvx dns-aid

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dns-aid": {
      "args": [
        "dns-aid"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.dns-aid]
command = "uvx"
args = ["dns-aid"]

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dns-aid": {
      "args": [
        "dns-aid"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dns-aid": {
      "args": [
        "dns-aid"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DNS_AID_BACKEND (DNS backend to use (route53, cloudflare, infoblox, nios, ns1, ddns, mock). Not required for discovery-only operations.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

DNS Aid — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for DNS Aid?

DNS Aid runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package dns-aid was installed 648 times last week.

How do I connect DNS Aid?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls dns-aid straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use DNS Aid?

The pypi package dns-aid was installed 648 times in the last week. Week over week that is -8%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is DNS Aid open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 67 stars on GitHub and 15 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
