move-dns-to-porkbun

move-dns-to-porkbun is a skill for Claude Code from oborseth/Porkbun-MCP. It costs 75 tokens per session (771 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving a domain's DNS, the records that direct web and email traffic, to Porkbun without an avoidable outage. It copies and checks existing records before changing the domain's nameservers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when moving DNS from Cloudflare, GoDaddy, another host, or a registrar to Porkbun, including during a domain transfer that needs DNS setup.
Why use it?
Switching nameservers before copying all records can take a website or email offline. The workflow reduces that risk by checking the current provider and preparing the destination zone first.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

move-dns-to-porkbun scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Move DNS to Porkbun without downtime

The risk in any DNS move is the gap: the moment nameservers point at Porkbun, only the records in Porkbun's zone exist. Anything not copied over first stops working (website down, mail bouncing). So the order is always copy, check, then switch.

1. See where things stand

  • get_domain confirms the domain is in this Porkbun account.
  • get_nameservers shows who answers DNS now. If it is already Porkbun's nameservers, there is nothing to move.
  • list_dns_records shows what Porkbun's zone holds already.

If the domain is still at another registrar: this connection cannot start a transfer. If a transfer is already under way and held for DNS setup, get_transfer_setup shows where it is; follow its next step (usually prepare_transfer, then the import below, then start_transfer).

2. Copy the records

  1. Get the current records. Best: the old provider's own export or API, read with the user's credentials (never send those to Porkbun). Otherwise scan_dns_records, which queries the live nameservers. A scan probes common names but cannot list a zone, so tell the user it is thorough, not exhaustive, and ask about anything unusual they rely on (other subdomains, verification records).
  2. Show the user the list, including anything that looks stale.
  3. import_dns_records with the reviewed list. It skips records that already exist, so it is safe to run again. Read its failures and fix those.
  4. list_dns_records again to compare: every record the old provider serves should now exist at Porkbun.

3. Check before switching

Call preflight_domain. Two findings are hard stops:

  • dnssec-active: DNSSEC is on at the registry with keys from the old provider. Switching now makes the domain fail to resolve. Remove the DS records first (list_dnssec_records, then delete_dnssec_record), wait for the old DS TTL to pass, then switch.
  • Mail records that would stop resolving: fix them in Porkbun's zone first.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
