What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: node -e "console.log('\n✅ Namecheap MCP installed!\n\n⚠️  IMPORTANT: You must configure your Namecheap API credentials.\n\nQuick setup:\n\n1. Ask Claude: \"Visit https://api.ipify.org and tell me my IP address\"\n2. Enable Namecheap API and whitelist that IP\n   https://www.namecheap.com → Profile → Tools → API Access\n3. Ask Claude to add credentials to ~/.claude/settings.json\n\nFull instructions:\nhttps://github.com/ziggythebot/namecheap-mcp#readme\n')"

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add namecheap -- npx -y @birdmania1/namecheap-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namecheap": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@birdmania1/namecheap-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.namecheap]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@birdmania1/namecheap-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namecheap": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@birdmania1/namecheap-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namecheap": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@birdmania1/namecheap-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NAMECHEAP_API_USER (Your Namecheap account username), NAMECHEAP_API_KEY (Your Namecheap API key from Profile → Tools → API Access), NAMECHEAP_USERNAME (Your Namecheap account username (same as API_USER)), NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP (Your whitelisted IP address (get with: curl -s https://api.ipify.org)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Namecheap — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Namecheap?
Namecheap runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @birdmania1/namecheap-mcp was installed 38 times last week.
How do I connect Namecheap?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls @birdmania1/namecheap-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Namecheap?
The npm package @birdmania1/namecheap-mcp was installed 38 times in the last week. Week over week that is +156%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Namecheap open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
