Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Name.ai MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

tld
tld_registration_price
Get the current USD price for a domain-lifecycle operation on a TLD (new registration, transfer-in, renewal, or restore from redemption). Backed by GET /api/pricing/tld — public, no auth required. This is name.ai's own registration pricing, not an aftermarket/marketplace price, so it is never gated by sign-in status. Args: tld: The TLD without a leading dot, e.g. "ai" or "com". operation: One of "register", "transfer", "renew", "restore".
tld_requirements
Get registration requirements for a TLD: allowed registration period range, whether an organization is required, allowed registrant countries, nameserver rules, and similar registry policy. Backed by GET /api/tlds/{tld}/metadata — public, no auth required. Args: tld: The TLD without a leading dot, e.g. "ai" or "io".
domain
search_domain
Check whether a domain is available and, for the same label, whether its common alternate TLDs are too (e.g. querying "acme.com" also returns "acme.ai", "acme.io", ...). Backed by POST /api/domain/search — public, no auth required. Buy-now (aftermarket/marketplace) prices are hidden unless you're authenticated (see AUTH.md at name.ai for how to get a token) — an unauthenticated call only sees new-registration pricing for a domain that's simply unregistered. Pass a valid OAuth access token as this call's Authorization header and it's forwarded automatically. Args: domain: A domain name to check, e.g. "example.ai". include_alternates: When true (default), also return sibling TLDs for the same label. When false, only the exact domain is returned.
whois
whois_lookup
Look up WHOIS/RDAP registration details for a domain: registrar, registrant, creation/expiration dates, nameservers. Backed by POST /api/tools/whois — public, no auth required, but rate limited by name.ai to 10 lookups per day per caller IP. Since every MCP call shares this server's egress IP, that quota is pooled across all of this MCP server's callers, not per end user. Args: domain: A domain name to look up, e.g. "example.com".

Name.ai MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Name.ai MCP Server do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: search_domain, tld_registration_price, tld_requirements, whois_lookup. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Name.ai MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 145 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Name.ai MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Name.ai MCP Server need an API key?
No. Name.ai MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Name.ai MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 145 ms on average, which is faster than 81% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Name.ai MCP Server open source?
Yes — written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
