What authentication is required for this Namecheap skill?

You must provide a Namecheap API User and API Key via environment variables, and ensure your current IP address is whitelisted in your Namecheap account profile.

Can I use this to point my domain to Cloudflare?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific commands to set custom nameservers (e.g., ns1.cloudflare.com) and manage the transition of DNS control.

Does this skill support adding individual DNS records?

Yes, but because the Namecheap API replaces all records during an update, the skill provides a workflow to fetch existing records first so you can include them in your update call.

What DNS record types are supported?

The skill supports all major record types including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, URL, URL301, and FRAME.
