Available tools 1

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

name
check_name
Check whether a brand, business, product, or app name is available. Runs a real-time availability check across: the US trademark registry (USPTO — live registry data, not guesses), domain names (.com, .io, .co, .app, .dev, with registration prices), social handles (X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn), developer namespaces (npm, PyPI, crates.io, GitHub, Docker Hub), and the iOS App Store. Returns a structured verdict (clear / caution / conflict), an overall viability band, and a link to the full interactive result. Use this whenever a user is brainstorming, choosing, or validating a name for a startup, company, product, app, or project and wants to know if it is taken, trademarked, or safe to use. Call once per candidate name. Free, no API key (shared daily fair-use pool). Data by nombrio.com.

Name Check — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Name Check do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_name. 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 Check working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 68 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Name Check as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Name Check?
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 Check need an API key?
No. Name Check completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
