Check domains and manage redirects from Claude
Connect Domain Forward to Claude. Ask why a redirect fails and Claude runs the checks. Ask it to set one up and it does that too.
The problem
- Claude can explain which DNS records to change, but on its own it can’t see whether your domain is set up correctly.
- You paste DNS output and error messages into the chat by hand and hope nothing got lost.
- Changing the redirect still means leaving the chat and clicking through a dashboard.
What you can do
- Claude runs the free checks itself: DNS records, propagation, SSL for the apex and www, and every redirect hop.
- It reads the issues it finds, such as a stale A record or Cloudflare proxy, and tells you the fix for your registrar.
- Claude can list, create, update and remove your redirects, show which domains are active and report traffic per day, source and country.
- Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile, and in Claude Code. See what MCP is.
