What can you do with DNSFilter on Tray.ai?
DNSFilter is a DNS-based web filtering and threat protection service that blocks malicious and unwanted websites across networks and devices. Tray.ai connects to DNSFilter through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the DNSFilter API alongside the rest of your stack.
- Add domains to block lists when your security tool reports a new phishing domain.
- Add domains to allow lists when IT approves a new business app in your service desk.
- Create a network for each new office set up in your IT asset system.
- Remove domains from block lists when the security team clears a false alarm.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- An API key in a request header
- Base URL
- https://api.dnsfilter.com
Set it up
Connect DNSFilter to Tray.ai
Each step uses DNSFilter's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save DNSFilter's API key
Save the key as a Tray.ai authentication. The HTTP Client puts it in the request header, read from $.auth. The key stays out of the workflow and out of the logs.
Step 2
Point the HTTP Client at the API
Add an HTTP Client step and use https://api.dnsfilter.com as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from DNSFilter's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List networks”
It's one of 23 documented actions, under Networks. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Hand it to an AI agent
Wrap “Create a network” and “Get a network” in workflows, and Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP publishes them as governed tools Claude and other AI agents can call.

Frequently asked questions
What can a Tray.ai workflow do in DNSFilter?
+
The DNSFilter API documents 23 actions across 6 resources (Networks, Policies, Organizations, Organization users, Block pages, Domains). For example: List networks; Add domains to allow lists; List organizations. A workflow can make any documented call through the HTTP Connector.
How does Tray.ai authenticate with DNSFilter?
+
The DNSFilter API uses an API key in a request header. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.
