## Description

Get a single DNS zone including its `records` array. This is also the only way to list a zone's DNS records (there is no dedicated list-records endpoint) - use the optional `nameFilter` and `recordType` filters to narrow the returned records, and read each record's `id` for use in the record-level actions. Returns an object like `{"id":"4ab3a7e2-1234-5678-abcd-ef0123456789","name":"example.com","type":"NATIVE","records":[{"id":"90d81ac0-3a30-44d4-95a5-12959effa6ee","name":"www.example.com","type":"A","content":"5.6.7.8","ttl":3600}]}`. Run **List DNS Zones** first to obtain a zone ID. [See the documentation](https://developer.hosting.ionos.com/docs/dns).

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `zoneId` | `string` | Yes | The DNS zone ID (UUID format, e.g. 4ab3a7e2-1234-5678-abcd-ef0123456789). Run List DNS Zones to retrieve available zones; use the id field from each returned object — not the name field (e.g. example.com) or the type field. |
| `nameFilter` | `string` | No | Optional filter to return only records whose name contains this string (case-insensitive). Example: kramer will match records named kramer.example.com. |
| `recordType` | `string[]` | No | Optional array of record types to filter by (e.g. ["A", "TXT"]). Serialized as a comma-separated string when sent to the API. |

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({

  arguments: {
    zoneId: "Zone ID",
    nameFilter: "Name Filter",
  },
