add_domain, update_domain, purchase_domain
Connect custom domains to websites with automatic SSL and optional DNS management.
Domain details are included in get_website responses.
Actions
add
Add a custom domain.
Parameters:
website— Website subdomain, domain, or UUIDdomain— Domain name (e.g.,example.com)dns_managed— (optional) Enable DNS management
update
Update a domain. Currently supports toggling DNS management.
Domain names cannot be changed after creation.
Parameters:
domain— Domain name to update (e.g.,example.com)dns_managed— Enable or disable DNS management
DNS Setup
There are two ways to point a custom domain at PageWeave. In both cases, SSL is provisioned automatically via on-demand TLS once DNS resolves to our servers.
Flow A — PageWeave manages DNS (recommended)
Let PageWeave run the domain’s DNS. This is the default for domains purchased through PageWeave and is enabled by toggling DNS management on a connected domain.
- Enable DNS management on the domain (
dns_managed: true). - At your registrar, delegate the domain’s nameservers to PageWeave:
ns1.pageweave.devns2.pageweave.devns3.pageweave.devns4.pageweave.dev
- PageWeave auto-provisions the required records — ALIAS at the zone root and CNAME for
www— both pointing at<subdomain>.pageweave.site.
No manual record entry is needed. DNS record management for delegated zones is available via the REST API (dns:read / dns:manage OAuth scopes), not via MCP tools.
Flow B — You keep your DNS
Keep your existing DNS provider and add records pointing at <subdomain>.pageweave.site:
| Host | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
Apex / root (example.com) |
ALIAS / ANAME (or an A record) | <subdomain>.pageweave.site |
Subdomain (www.example.com) |
CNAME | <subdomain>.pageweave.site |
Do not use CNAME at the zone apex. A CNAME cannot coexist with the SOA and NS records required at the root, per RFC 1034 §3.6.2 (clarified by RFC 2181). BIND and other authoritative servers refuse to load such a zone. Use one of the apex-safe equivalents instead:
- ALIAS — ClouDNS, Google Cloud DNS, PowerDNS
- ANAME — name used by many registrars and DNS providers
- Alias record — AWS Route 53
- CNAME flattening — Cloudflare
These are provider-side features (no IETF standard yet) that resolve the target hostname server-side and return synthesized A/AAAA records. CNAME remains the correct choice for any subdomain (
www,blog, etc.).
