What is Pipeworx DNS?
Pipeworx DNS is a specialized integration for Openclaw Skills designed to provide AI agents with direct access to global DNS records. By utilizing Google's DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) service, this skill allows for secure, reliable, and programmatic querying of various record types including A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, and CNAME. It serves as a vital bridge for developers and DevOps engineers who need their AI agents to understand and audit domain configurations without local network dependencies.
This skill is particularly valuable for users of Openclaw Skills who require technical context regarding web infrastructure, email delivery settings, or security configurations. By abstracting the complexity of DNS protocols into simple tool calls, it empowers AI coding assistants to troubleshoot connectivity issues and verify network settings in real-time.
Pipeworx DNS Use Cases
- Debugging email deliverability by auditing MX records and verifying SPF, DKIM, or DMARC TXT entries.
- Verifying DNS propagation and record updates across global nameservers after migration.
- Auditing a domain's full technical profile to identify its hosting environment and nameservers.
- Resolving IPv4 addresses to hostnames via reverse DNS to identify server ownership.
How Pipeworx DNS Works
- The AI agent identifies a need to check a domain's configuration or resolve an IP address.
- The agent invokes one of the Pipeworx DNS tools, such as dns_lookup or reverse_dns, provided by the Openclaw Skills framework.
- The skill sends a secure request to the Pipeworx gateway, which interfaces with Google DNS-over-HTTPS.
- DNS record data is retrieved and structured into a clean JSON format.
- The results are passed back to the agent, allowing it to provide technical insights or perform further debugging steps.
Pipeworx DNS Setup
To install and configure this skill within your Openclaw Skills environment, add the following to your MCP server configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx-dns": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dns/mcp"]
}
}
}
Note: Ensure that curl is available on your system path, as it is a required dependency for the underlying network requests.
Pipeworx DNS Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill returns structured data from the DNS provider. Below is the typical schema for a DNS response:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Status |
The response code from the DNS server (e.g., 0 for success) |
Answer |
An array containing the requested records (Name, Type, TTL, Data) |
Question |
Details of the original query sent to the service |
Authority |
Information regarding the authoritative nameservers for the domain |
Pipeworx DNS Advanced Features
- Multi-record batch lookups using the dns_lookup_all tool for rapid domain auditing.
- Support for IPv6 through AAAA record resolution.
- Built-in reverse DNS lookup capabilities to map network infrastructure.
- Privacy-focused querying via HTTPS to avoid local DNS monitoring or interception within the Openclaw Skills workflow.
