Security & Identity
What the Nextdns connector can do
Nextdns filters DNS traffic to block malicious sites, trackers, and ads, with settings organized into profiles. In type.com, an IT team can ask Claude to allow a domain that got blocked by mistake, add a new entry to a denylist, or turn on a parental control category for a specific profile.
One connection, many Spaces

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Nextdns
Can Claude manage Nextdns block and allow lists?
Yes. With a Nextdns connection shared to a type.com Space, Claude can add domains to allowlists or denylists and update parental control settings for a profile, right from a thread.
How do I authenticate Nextdns in type.com?
Nextdns uses an API key, added once by an admin when the connection is created. Spaces that manage DNS profiles can use it without seeing the key.
Can Nextdns list updates run on a schedule?
Yes. A recurring task, such as reviewing and updating a denylist weekly, can be set up as a type.com automation.
Is this the same as an MCP server for Nextdns?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
