How to Use Porkbun with Claude Code, Cursor and Other AI Coding Tools

Any tool that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in can connect to Porkbun's hosted server at https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user porkbun https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp

Then run /mcp in a session, select porkbun, and authenticate. Your browser opens the Porkbun page; sign in and click Allow Claude Code. --scope user makes it available in every project; leave it out to add it to one project only.

Cursor and other clients

Add the URL to the client's MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "porkbun": { "url": "https://mcp.porkbun.com/mcp" }
  }
}

The client opens the Porkbun sign-in page the first time it connects.

Prefer API keys, or need the sandbox?

You can run the same server on your own machine with an API key instead. See "How to Install the Official Porkbun MCP Server in Claude Desktop" for the local setup, which works the same way in other clients. The sandbox tools (a free test environment with fake credit) only work this way, with a sandbox key.
