Name.ai MCP server

The Name.ai MCP server exposes domain search and availability, WHOIS lookup, and TLD pricing and requirements as Model Context Protocol tools. It is remote and hosted — no install, no API key — and speaks Streamable HTTP, so any MCP client can use it: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others. Signing in via OAuth is optional and additionally unlocks real marketplace prices on domain searches.

Endpoint

https://mcp.name.ai/mcp

Discoverable without reading this page: the manifest is at /.well-known/mcp.json (also served extensionless at /.well-known/mcp) and the server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json. The server is listed in the official MCP Registry under the domain-verified namespace ai.name, and its source — with AGENTS.md and the plugin.json Agent Plugins manifest — is at github.com/namekart/nameai_mcp.

Add it to an MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "name-ai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.name.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or with the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http name-ai https://mcp.name.ai/mcp

Tools

tld_registration_price
Current USD price for registering, transferring, renewing or restoring a domain on a TLD.
tld_requirements

In-page WebMCP

The same public, read-only capabilities are also registered in the browser via the WebMCP draft API (document.modelContext) on pages where they fit — home, search, bulk search, pricing, TLD guides, market/buy, WHOIS, and a few non-AI free tools. Browser agents can call them without leaving the tab. Landers and customer-domain pages send Permissions-Policy: tools=() so nothing registers there. WebMCP may list a few extras the remote MCP server does not:

check_many_domains
Batch up to 20 domain availability checks in one call (search + bulk search pages).
browse_marketplace
Browse aftermarket listings (market and buy pages). Seller text is marked untrusted.
sitemap_finder / sitemap_url_extractor / webpage_to_markdown
Selected non-AI free tools, registered only on that tool’s own /tools/… page.
