What is the Spaceship MCP MCP server?

Connect Spaceship MCP to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP server for managing domains, DNS records, and marketplace listings via the Spaceship API. The spaceship mcp mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

CLI one-liners — the fastest way to get started. Pick your tool:

  • 48 tools — across 8 categories covering the full Spaceship API
  • 13 DNS record types — with dedicated, type-safe creation tools (A, AAAA, ALIAS, CAA, CNAME, HTTPS, MX, NS, PTR, SRV, SVCB, TLSA, TXT)
  • Complete domain lifecycle — — register, renew, transfer, and restore domains
  • SellerHub integration — — list domains for sale and generate checkout links
  • DNS alignment analysis — — compare expected vs actual records to catch misconfigurations
  • WHOIS privacy and contact management — with TLD-specific attribute support

Installation

spaceship-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Toolset — Tools included
  • domains — Domain management and lifecycle tools
  • dns — DNS records, record creators, and analysis
  • contacts — Contact and privacy management
  • privacy — Privacy management (same tools as contacts)
  • nameservers — Personal nameserver management
  • sellerhub — SellerHub marketplace tools
  • availability — Domain availability checking
  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • Terminology — The Terminology tool exposed by this server
  • Required — Generate your credentials in the Spaceship API Manager
  • Optional — The Optional tool exposed by this server

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: SPACESHIP_API_KEY, SPACESHIP_API_SECRET. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Spaceship MCP.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Among the payments and commerce options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Spaceship MCP's toolset — Toolset, domains, dns and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by bartwaardenburg; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
