GoDaddy Skill - Domain & DNS Management
Manage domains and DNS records via the GoDaddy API. Set A records, CNAMEs, check propagation, bulk-configure DNS.
CRITICAL: DNS Modification Confirmation Required
Before modifying ANY DNS records, you MUST get explicit user confirmation.
When the user asks to change DNS:
- First, show current records using
get-records - Show the proposed changes clearly
- Ask: "Do you want me to apply these DNS changes?"
- ONLY run set/add/delete commands AFTER the user explicitly confirms
- NEVER modify DNS without confirmation
First-Time Setup (~2 minutes)
1. Get API Key
- Go to GoDaddy Developer Portal
- Click Create New API Key
- Select Production environment
- Copy the Key and Secret
Note: GoDaddy API access may require 10+ domains or a Discount Domain Club membership. If you get a 403 error, check your account eligibility.
2. Save Credentials
cat > ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/config.json << 'EOF'
{
"api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"api_secret": "YOUR_API_SECRET"
}
EOF
Commands
List Domains
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py list-domains
Domain Info
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py domain-info DOMAIN
Get DNS Records
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py get-records DOMAIN [--type TYPE] [--name NAME]
Examples:
# All records
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py get-records zergdesk.com
# Only A records
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py get-records zergdesk.com --type A
# Specific CNAME
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py get-records zergdesk.com --type CNAME --name www
Set DNS Record (Replace)
Replaces all existing records of the same type + name.
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py set-record DOMAIN TYPE NAME DATA [--ttl TTL] [--priority N]
Examples:
# Point root to IP
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py set-record zergdesk.com A @ 66.241.125.67
# Point www to CNAME
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py set-record zergdesk.com CNAME www myapp.fly.dev
# Set MX record
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py set-record zergdesk.com MX @ mail.example.com --priority 10
Add DNS Record (Append)
Adds a record without replacing existing ones of the same type + name.
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py add-record DOMAIN TYPE NAME DATA [--ttl TTL]
Delete DNS Record
# Delete all records of type+name
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py delete-record DOMAIN TYPE NAME
# Delete specific value only
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py delete-record DOMAIN TYPE NAME --data VALUE
Bulk Set (Multiple Records)
Set many records at once from JSON. Great for initial domain setup.
# From inline JSON
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py bulk-set DOMAIN '[{"type":"A","name":"@","data":"1.2.3.4"},{"type":"CNAME","name":"www","data":"app.fly.dev"}]'
# From a JSON file
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py bulk-set DOMAIN /path/to/records.json
JSON format:
[
{"type": "A", "name": "@", "data": "66.241.125.67", "ttl": 600},
{"type": "AAAA", "name": "@", "data": "2a09:8280:1::cf:9869:0", "ttl": 600},
{"type": "CNAME", "name": "www", "data": "myapp.fly.dev", "ttl": 600},
{"type": "CNAME", "name": "_acme-challenge", "data": "domain.flydns.net", "ttl": 600}
]
Check DNS Propagation
Uses local dig to check what DNS currently resolves to.
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py check-dns DOMAIN
Common Workflows
Point Domain to Fly.io
# 1. Check current records
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py get-records mydomain.com
# 2. Set the records Fly.io needs
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py bulk-set mydomain.com '[
{"type":"A","name":"@","data":"FLY_IPV4"},
{"type":"AAAA","name":"@","data":"FLY_IPV6"},
{"type":"CNAME","name":"www","data":"APP.fly.dev"},
{"type":"CNAME","name":"_acme-challenge","data":"DOMAIN.flydns.net"},
{"type":"CNAME","name":"_acme-challenge.www","data":"www.DOMAIN.flydns.net"}
]'
# 3. Verify propagation
python3 ~/.claude/skills/godaddy-skill/godaddy_skill.py check-dns mydomain.com
Output Format
All commands output JSON for easy parsing. Errors include HTTP status and detail.
