Add, view, or remove domains for Railway services.
## When to Use
- User asks to "add a domain", "generate a domain", "get a URL"
- User wants to add a custom domain
- User asks "what's the URL for my service"
- User wants to remove a domain
## Add Railway Domain
Generate a railway-provided domain (max 1 per service):
```bash
railway domain --json
```
For a specific service:
```bash
railway domain --json --service backend
```
### Response
Returns the generated domain URL. Service must have a deployment.
## Add Custom Domain
```bash
railway domain example.com --json
```
### Response
Returns required DNS records:
```json
{
"domain": "example.com",
"dnsRecords": [
{ "type": "CNAME", "host": "@", "value": "..." }
]
}
```
Tell user to add these records to their DNS provider.
## Read Current Domains
Use `environment` skill to see configured domains, or query directly:
```graphql
query domains($envId: String!) {
environment(id: $envId) {
config(decryptVariables: false)
}
}
```
Domains are in `config.services.<serviceId>.networking`:
- `serviceDomains` - Railway-provided domains
- `customDomains` - User-provided domains
## Remove Domain
Use `environment` skill to remove domains:
### Remove custom domain
```json
{
"services": {
"<serviceId>": {
"networking": {
"customDomains": { "<domainId>": null }
}
}
}
}
```
### Remove railway domain
```json
{
"services": {
"<serviceId>": {
"networking": {
"serviceDomains": { "<domainId>": null }
}
}
}
}
```
Then use `environment` skill to apply and commit the change.
