# Spaceship Domains > Manages domains via the Spaceship registrar API — registers domains, configures DNS records, manages contacts and WHOIS privacy, transfers domains, sets up nameservers, and sells domains on SellerHub. Use when asked to "manage domains", "register a domain", "configure DNS", "add DNS records", "set up nameservers", "check domain availability", "transfer a domain", "sell a domain", "set up email DNS", "manage WHOIS privacy", or any Spaceship domain registrar operation. Requires the Spaceship MCP server to be configured. - Skill: `tomevault-io/spaceship-domains` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/spaceship-domains` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/spaceship-domains/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/spaceship-domains --- # Spaceship Domain Management Manages domains through 48 Spaceship MCP tools across 9 categories: domain lookup, domain info, domain settings, domain lifecycle, DNS management, DNS record creation, contacts & privacy, personal nameservers, and SellerHub marketplace. ## When to Use - Managing domains registered at Spaceship (DNS, settings, contacts, privacy) - Registering, renewing, transferring, or restoring domains via Spaceship - Configuring DNS records for domains using Spaceship nameservers - Setting up email (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) on Spaceship-managed domains - Listing domains for sale on Spaceship SellerHub - Checking domain availability and pricing through Spaceship - Setting up vanity/glue nameservers for Spaceship domains ## When NOT to Use - Domains managed at other registrars (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) - DNS hosted outside Spaceship (e.g. Cloudflare DNS, Route 53, Google Cloud DNS) - General DNS troubleshooting unrelated to Spaceship - Web hosting or server configuration - SSL certificate management (use CAA records for authorization only) - Email server setup beyond DNS records ## Tool Loading All Spaceship tools are deferred. Load them before use: ``` ToolSearch: "+spaceship " ``` Examples: `+spaceship dns`, `+spaceship domain`, `+spaceship contact`, `+spaceship sellerhub`. ## Tool Categories | Category | Tools | Key Operations | |----------|-------|----------------| | Domain Lookup | `check_domain_availability` | Check availability + pricing for 1–20 domains | | Domain Info | `list_domains`, `get_domain` | List/inspect domains in account | | Domain Settings | `set_auto_renew`, `set_transfer_lock`, `update_nameservers`, `get_auth_code` | Configure domain settings | | Domain Lifecycle | `register_domain`, `renew_domain`, `restore_domain`, `transfer_domain`, `get_transfer_status`, `get_async_operation` | Registration, renewal, transfer (all async + financial) | | DNS Management | `list_dns_records`, `save_dns_records`, `delete_dns_records`, `check_dns_alignment` | Bulk DNS operations | | DNS Creators | `create_a_record`, `create_aaaa_record`, `create_cname_record`, `create_mx_record`, `create_txt_record`, `create_srv_record`, `create_ns_record`, `create_alias_record`, `create_caa_record`, `create_https_record`, `create_ptr_record`, `create_svcb_record`, `create_tlsa_record` | Create individual DNS records by type | | Contacts & Privacy | `save_contact`, `get_contact`, `save_contact_attributes`, `get_contact_attributes`, `update_domain_contacts`, `set_privacy_level`, `set_email_protection` | Contact profiles, WHOIS privacy | | Personal NS | `list_personal_nameservers`, `get_personal_nameserver`, `update_personal_nameserver`, `delete_personal_nameserver` | Vanity nameservers (glue records) | | SellerHub | `list_sellerhub_domains`, `create_sellerhub_domain`, `get_sellerhub_domain`, `update_sellerhub_domain`, `delete_sellerhub_domain`, `create_checkout_link`, `get_verification_records` | Domain marketplace | ## References - [API Reference](references/api-reference.md) — complete parameter specs for all 48 tools - [Gotchas](references/gotchas.md) — common pitfalls, edge cases, and correct usage patterns - [Patterns](references/patterns.md) — DNS recipes for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Vercel, Netlify, and more ## Common Workflows ### Check & Register a Domain ``` 1. check_domain_availability({ domains: ["example.com"] }) → Returns availability + pricing 2. save_contact({ firstName, lastName, email, address1, city, country, phone }) → Returns { contactId } 3. register_domain({ domain: "example.com", contacts: { registrant: contactId } }) → Returns { operationId } (async, financial — confirm with user first) 4. get_async_operation({ operationId }) → Poll until status is "completed" 5. set_privacy_level({ domain, level: "high", userConsent: true }) 6. set_transfer_lock({ domain, locked: true }) ``` ### Configure DNS for a Website ``` 1. list_dns_records({ domain: "example.com" }) → See existing records 2. create_a_record({ domain, name: "@", address: "93.184.216.34" }) 3. create_cname_record({ domain, name: "www", cname: "example.com" }) 4. check_dns_alignment({ domain, expectedRecords: [...] }) → Verify all records are correct ``` For email, CDN, and hosting provider DNS patterns, see [references/patterns.md](references/patterns.md). ### Transfer a Domain to Spaceship ``` 1. save_contact({ ... }) → Create contact profile first 2. transfer_domain({ domain, authCode: "EPP-CODE", contacts: { registrant: contactId } }) → Returns { operationId } (async, financial — confirm with user first) 3. get_transfer_status({ domain }) → Check transfer progress 4. get_async_operation({ operationId }) → Poll until complete ``` ### Sell a Domain on SellerHub ``` 1. create_sellerhub_domain({ domain, binPrice: { amount: "5000", currency: "USD" }, binPriceEnabled: true }) 2. get_verification_records() → Get DNS verification records (account-level) 3. create_txt_record({ domain, name, value }) → Add the verification TXT record 4. create_checkout_link({ domain, type: "buyNow" }) → Returns shareable purchase URL ``` ## Key Gotchas - **Async + financial**: `register_domain`, `renew_domain`, `restore_domain`, `transfer_domain` return `{ operationId }` — always confirm with user before executing, then poll with `get_async_operation` - **DNS creators replace**: Each `create_*_record` replaces ALL existing records with the same name+type - **Privacy requires consent**: `set_privacy_level` needs `{ userConsent: true }` — mandatory - **Rate limits**: 5 requests per 300 seconds per domain for write endpoints For the full list with examples, see [references/gotchas.md](references/gotchas.md). ## Instructions 1. **Identify the action** from the user's request 2. **Load required tools** via `ToolSearch` with `+spaceship ` 3. **Confirm destructive/financial operations** before executing (register, renew, restore, transfer, delete DNS) 4. **Follow the appropriate workflow** above, or check [references/patterns.md](references/patterns.md) for service-specific DNS recipes 5. **Poll async operations** for lifecycle operations 6. **Report results** clearly — show domain status, DNS records, pricing, or operation results in readable format If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided, interpret it as the domain name or action to perform. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/bartwaardenburg) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
