What the code does

We read the source, 12 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Reaches cloud metadata service src/hosts.ts:16

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Hetzner DNS and you get told the day something new turns up.

Hetzner DNS — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Hetzner DNS?

Hetzner DNS 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 npm package hetzner-dns-mcp was installed 612 times last week.

How do I connect Hetzner DNS?

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 hetzner-dns-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Hetzner DNS?

The npm package hetzner-dns-mcp was installed 612 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Hetzner DNS open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
