# How to Check DNS Propagation with OpenClaw

OpenClaw automates DNS monitoring into a systematic scanning workflow that covers records, SSL certificates, and email authentication in one sweep. Run comprehensive domain audits across all your production domains in a single session, compare current configurations against your documented baselines, and detect drift or unauthorized changes. Its batch approach is ideal for organizations managing dozens of domains that need regular infrastructure health checks.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask OpenClaw: "Check DNS propagation for example.com -- A record should be 203.0.113.50"
3. OpenClaw returns the current records for comparison
4. Re-check periodically until propagation is confirmed

## Example Prompt

```
I updated DNS for example.com 30 minutes ago. Check if the new A record has propagated yet.
```

## Tips

- Lower the TTL before making changes to speed up future propagation
- Check both the apex domain and www subdomain
- Propagation is complete when the returned records match your intended configuration
