POSIX-Native DNS Routing, Packet Tracing, & Telemetry Engine for Agentic AI. Multi-tier DNS chain orchestration with stdio MCP server.
POSIX-Native DNS Routing, Diagnostic, and Telemetry Engine for Agentic AI Systems (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Hermes Agent, Copilot).
agentic-dns is a zero-dependency, ultra-fast DNS orchestration engine written in pure Bash and Rust. Designed for developer workstations, homelabs, Kubernetes nodes, and autonomous AI agents, it manages multi-tier DNS chains (pihole - coredns - dnsdist - unbound - dnscrypt - VPN DNS), executes live hop-by-hop packet traces (trace), auto-bypasses failing upstreams (bypass), and exposes a stdio Model Context Protocol (MCP JSON-RPC) server for AI coding assistants.
agentic-dns provides out-of-the-box MCP JSON-RPC protocol support for AI agents.
2. Cursor / Windsurf / Copilot Add to your project or user .mcp.json file:
3. Hermes Agent Run hermes mcp add agentic-dns agentic-dns mcp.
Once connected, ask your AI coding assistant:
- "Check if any local DNS resolvers in the chain are down or unhealthy." - "Trace the packet path for github.com across loopback and outbound interfaces." - "Bypass stubby and route DNS traffic through unbound." - "Show recent Pi-hole query statistics from SQLite."
- Zero External Dependencies: Core POSIX Bash execution + standard Unix tools (dig, ss, tcpdump, nft, sqlite3, socat, jq). Zero idle RAM usage. - Native Model Context Protocol (MCP): Exposes dnsstatus, dnsquery, dnstrace, dnshealth, dnsroutes, dnspiholelog, and dnsbypass to AI agents. - Live Inter-Service Tracing (trace): Runs background tcpdump captures across loopback and network interfaces to visualize packet hop progression and latency bottlenecks. - Au
