# 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://nameai-mcp.h.namekart.com/mcp
```

Discoverable without reading this page: the manifest is at [/.well-known/mcp.json](https://name.ai/.well-known/mcp.json) (also served extensionless at [/.well-known/mcp](https://name.ai/.well-known/mcp)) and the server card at [/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json](https://name.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json). The server is listed in the official MCP Registry under the domain-verified namespace `ai.name`.

## Add it to an MCP client

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "name-ai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://nameai-mcp.h.namekart.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Or with the Claude Code CLI:

```
claude mcp add --transport http name-ai https://nameai-mcp.h.namekart.com/mcp
```

## Tools

search\_domain

Check whether a domain is available, with common alternate-TLD suggestions for the same label.

whois\_lookup

WHOIS/RDAP registration details for a domain: registrar, registrant, dates, nameservers.

tld\_registration\_price

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

tld\_requirements

Registration requirements for a TLD: period range, organization rules, nameserver rules.
