Manage GoDaddy domains and DNS without the GoDaddy console
Domains, DNS records and expiry dates in one place, instead of a separate GoDaddy login
Connect GoDaddy and manage your domains and DNS zones alongside everything else you run.
- DNS records: view, create, edit and delete A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, SRV, CAA and PTR records, with changes sent straight to GoDaddy.
- Zones found automatically: existing DNS zones are imported on connect, so there's nothing to re-create by hand.
- Domain lifecycle: register, renew, transfer in, and manage nameservers, contacts and transfer locks without opening GoDaddy.
- Expiry and status tracking: domain expiry dates, nameservers and lock state stay current, so you're not checking GoDaddy to see what's about to lapse.
- Toggle protections: turn WHOIS privacy and auto-renew on or off from InfraNest.
- Automations: trigger on DNS changes, domain expiry, renewal, registration, deletion, status changes, DNSSEC breaking, or a domain being flagged or cleared for spam.
What it looks like in InfraNest
What you can do
Once GoDaddy is connected, this is what InfraNest can do with it.
- Existing DNS zones imported automatically on connect
- DNS record edits sent straight to GoDaddy
- Domain expiry, nameservers and lock state kept current
- Automations on expiry, renewal, DNS changes and spam flags
Not supported
This integration doesn't cover certificates or cloud resources for GoDaddy — there's no certificates feature on this connection, and DNS management only works for domains actually registered with GoDaddy, not ones registered elsewhere and merely pointed at it.
How to connect it
- 1
Open the GoDaddy integration
Go to Integrations, open GoDaddy, and give the connection an optional Account label to tell it apart from others.
- 2
Choose what to manage
Select DNS, Domains, or both, so InfraNest only sets up the features you want to use.
- 3
Paste your token and connect
Paste your Personal Access Token and select Connect — existing DNS zones are found and imported right away.
That’s it — GoDaddy is connected.
Full setup guideSet up with AI
I use GoDaddy, and I want to connect it to InfraNest (infranest.io) — it manages domains, DNS, servers and certificates across providers. InfraNest asks for: Personal access token. Walk me through creating that in GoDaddy: where each setting is in the current interface, whether a read-only option exists, and how to check it works before I paste it in.

GoDaddy in Claude and ChatGPT
Connect your AI assistant to InfraNest and ask about your GoDaddy account in plain words, next to every other provider you use. It reads, and acts only when you allow it.
- Which of my GoDaddy domains expire in the next 60 days?
- Where does shop.example.com point, and did anything change there this week?
- Which certificates expire this month, and does anything renew them?
Questions
#Does this work for any domain, or only ones bought through GoDaddy?
DNS management only works for domains registered with GoDaddy itself. If a domain is registered elsewhere but you're just using GoDaddy's nameservers, this connection can't manage its DNS.
#What happens when my token expires?
GoDaddy tokens can carry an expiry date, and once it passes, calls to GoDaddy stop working with an authentication error. You'll need to create a new token in the GoDaddy developer portal and paste it into the connection to pick back up where it left off.
#Can InfraNest change settings on my GoDaddy account, or just read them?
Both — depending on the scopes granted, InfraNest can edit DNS records, update nameservers and contacts, renew or transfer domains, and toggle WHOIS privacy and auto-renew. These changes are sent to GoDaddy directly, the same as making them in GoDaddy's own dashboard.
#Does InfraNest protect against accidentally deleting a domain?
GoDaddy has no delete lock of its own for domains or DNS zones, so there's nothing for InfraNest to flip on alongside it. You can still use InfraNest's own transfer lock controls to reduce the risk of a domain moving out unexpectedly.
#What do I need before connecting GoDaddy?
A GoDaddy personal access token with the Domains & DNS scope bundle, created from a qualifying GoDaddy account — see the setup guide.
#Is there a GoDaddy MCP server?
Yes, through InfraNest. Once GoDaddy is connected, InfraNest’s MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other assistants read your domains, DNS records and certificates at GoDaddy, together with every other provider you use. It works on every plan, including Free.
One dashboard for every provider
