About Sitey — free subdomains
Sitey is a free subdomain service for developers who need DNS names without buying a domain. It offers A, CNAME, and TXT records through a web interface and REST API, with subdomains that can be renewed.
Key features
- 01Free subdomain creation
- 02A, CNAME, and TXT records
- 03REST API for DNS management
- 04Google sign-in
- 05Subdomain renewal
Use cases
- 01Assign a URL to a side project
- 02Create a URL for a hackathon demo
- 03Automate DNS setup through the REST API or MCP
- 04Share a staging environment
MCP support
The README says AI agents can use free-domain-mcp, an MCP server that wraps Sitey's REST API. Sitey itself is the DNS service exposed through that API.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://sitey.my/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http my-sitey-subdomains https://sitey.my/mcp{"mcpServers":{"my-sitey-subdomains":{"type":"http","url":"https://sitey.my/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"my-sitey-subdomains":{"type":"http","url":"https://sitey.my/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"my-sitey-subdomains":{"type":"http","url":"https://sitey.my/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"my-sitey-subdomains":{"serverUrl":"https://sitey.my/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project READMEsitey.my
Free subdomain service for developers. Get a subdomain in seconds — no credit card, no hassle.
Features
- Instant DNS — A, CNAME, and TXT records, live in seconds
- Google sign-in — No passwords to manage
- REST API — Programmatic access via /api/v1/
- Renewals — Subdomains are lent for a period and kept with one click
- Free — No cost, no catch
How long a subdomain lasts
| Owner | Period | Reminders |
|---|---|---|
| Signed-in user | 3 months | 14 days, 3 days and the day it expires |
| API key / agent | 1 month | none — expires_at comes back with every read |
Renewing resets the clock from today. A subdomain that stops loading is not removed: we write to tell you it has gone dark, and that is all.
Quick Start
- Visit sitey.my
- Sign in with Google
- Type a subdomain + IP address → done
REST API
Programmatic access for developers and AI agents.
Base URL: https://sitey.my/api/v1
sitey.one and the www. hosts redirect here (308 for /api/*, so POST bodies survive).
Authentication
| Mode | Auth | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous | None (IP-based) | 3 subdomains |
| API key | Authorization: Bearer styo_xxx | Unlimited |
Get an API key: sign in at sitey.my → Dashboard → API Keys.
Endpoints
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /domains | List available root domains |
| GET | /check/:subdomain/:domain | Check availability |
| POST | /subdomains | Create A or CNAME record |
| GET | /subdomains | List your subdomains |
| PATCH | /subdomains/:sub/:domain | Update record value |
| DELETE | /subdomains/:sub/:domain | Delete subdomain |
| POST | /subdomains/:sub/:domain/renew | Extend before expires_at |
| POST | /subdomains/:sub/:domain/txt | Create/update TXT record |
| DELETE | /subdomains/:sub/:domain/txt/:prefix | Delete TXT record |
Example
# Check availability
curl https://sitey.my/api/v1/check/demo/sitey.my
# Create subdomain
curl -X POST https://sitey.my/api/v1/subdomains \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"subdomain":"demo","domain":"sitey.my","type":"A","value":"1.2.3.4"}'
For AI Agents (MCP)
AI agents can use free-domain-mcp — an MCP server that wraps this REST API.
claude mcp add --transport http sitey https://your-mcp-server/mcp
Tech Stack
- Runtime: Node.js + Fastify
- DNS: Self-hosted BIND9 (authoritative nameserver)
- Database: MySQL
- Auth: Google OAuth2 + JWT
How It Works
- User (or API call) requests a subdomain
- Server validates input + checks availability
- A/CNAME/TXT record is appended to the BIND9 zone file
named-checkzonevalidates →systemctl reload namedapplies- DNS is live within seconds
We run our own authoritative nameservers (ns1.sitey.one, ns2.sitey.one) — no third-party DNS provider.
Use Cases
- Deploy a side project to
myapp.sitey.my - Give hackathon demos a real URL
- Automate domain setup via REST API or MCP
- Share staging environments with teammates

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
