manage-dns-records

Manages DNS records within zones on the configured Technitium DNS Server instance. Supports get, add, delete, and update operations across all common record types.

<quick_start>

/technitium-dns:manage-dns-records get example.com
/technitium-dns:manage-dns-records add api.example.com A 192.168.1.10
/technitium-dns:manage-dns-records add example.com MX 10:mail.example.com
/technitium-dns:manage-dns-records delete api.example.com A
/technitium-dns:manage-dns-records update api.example.com A 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.20

</quick_start>

Parse `env=` from `$ARGUMENTS` before any other processing. Strip it from remaining arguments. Default to `""` (empty string). Credential file: `~/.claude/channels/technitium-dns/${ENV}.env`. Omit `env=` from suggested commands when ENV is empty.

Load credentials from the env file. If missing or TECHNITIUM_URL is not set, tell the user to run /technitium-dns:configure-technitium first.

Auth token resolution (before every API call):

• If TECHNITIUM_TOKEN is set, use it directly as $TOKEN.
• Otherwise call /api/user/login with TECHNITIUM_USER/TECHNITIUM_PASSWORD and parse the token field.

Parse the first word of remaining arguments as the subcommand.

get <domain> [zone=<zone>] [type=<type>] — retrieve records:

http --ignore-stdin -b GET "${TECHNITIUM_URL%/}/api/zones/records/get" \
  token=="$TOKEN" domain=="<domain>" zone=="<zone>"

Omit zone if not provided (server infers from domain). Filter displayed results by type if provided.

Display a table: Name, Type, TTL, Value (formatted per type: MX shows priority + exchange; SRV shows priority/weight/port/target). Truncate TXT values at 80 chars with ….

add <domain> <type> <value> [zone=<zone>] [ttl=<ttl>] [overwrite=true] — add a record:

Record type → API parameter mapping:

Type	API parameter(s)
A	ipAddress=<value>
AAAA	ipAddress=<value>
CNAME	cname=<value>
PTR	ptrName=<value>
MX	exchange=<value> (parse priority:exchange if colon-separated, default priority 10)
TXT	text=<value>
NS	nameServer=<value>
SRV	parse priority:weight:port:target from value
CAA	parse flags:tag:value from value

http --ignore-stdin -b POST "${TECHNITIUM_URL%/}/api/zones/records/add" \
  token=="$TOKEN" \
  domain=="<domain>" \
  zone=="<zone>" \
  type=="<type>" \
  ttl=="<ttl>" \
  overwrite=="<overwrite>" \
  <type-specific params>

Omit zone if not provided. Default TTL: 3600. Default overwrite: false.

delete <domain> <type> [zone=<zone>] [value=<value>] — delete a record:

Confirm: "Delete <type> record for <domain>? Are you sure?"

http --ignore-stdin -b POST "${TECHNITIUM_URL%/}/api/zones/records/delete" \
  token=="$TOKEN" \
  domain=="<domain>" \
  zone=="<zone>" \
  type=="<type>"

Add type-specific value parameters (same mapping as add) to target the correct record when multiple exist.

update <domain> <type> <old-value> <new-value> [zone=<zone>] [ttl=<ttl>] — update a record:

Uses /api/zones/records/update. Map old and new values using the same type mapping as add. New params are prefixed with new (e.g. newIpAddress=).

http --ignore-stdin -b POST "${TECHNITIUM_URL%/}/api/zones/records/update" \
  token=="$TOKEN" \
  domain=="<domain>" \
  zone=="<zone>" \
  type=="<type>" \
  <old-value params> \
  <new-value params> \
  ttl=="<ttl>"

- Record types are case-sensitive — always uppercase (e.g. `A`, `AAAA`, `CNAME`, `MX`, `TXT`). - Domain names should not have a trailing dot — strip it if present. - For TXT records with spaces in value, instruct users to quote the value when passing it. - If `"status": "invalid-token"`, tell the user the session expired. - If `"status": "error"`, show `errorMessage`.
