DomainScout
Domain research for AI agents. Every good .com is taken. Find the ones that aren't.
DomainScout is an MCP server for bulk domain search. Your AI assistant brainstorms hundreds of names, and DomainScout checks all of them in one call: which are free, what they cost and where to buy them. It runs on your own machine. You need no account and no server of ours, and API keys are optional.

What it does
about 20 seconds.
- Finds the free names in a long list. Hundreds of names in one call; 500 .com names take
RDAP. A bought but unused domain is still reported as taken.
- Checks for real. DNS first, then the registry itself over RDAP, or WHOIS where a TLD has no
Name.com, Dynadot, NameSilo and Hover. The first year, the renewal and any minimum term, cheapest to own first.
- Compares prices at nine registrars: Cloudflare, Porkbun, Namecheap, Spaceship, GoDaddy,
are being deleted and may become available soon.
- Spots the traps. Premium and reserved names (with a registrar API key), and taken names that
- Any TLD. .com, .net and .ai by default; ask for any other.
DomainScout does not invent names: your assistant does that, and DomainScout tells it which of them are really free.
Install
Node 20 or newer.
Claude Desktop: one click: download the extension and open it. Claude Desktop asks to install it, and lets you set the options below.
Claude Code: the plugin adds the server and a skill that runs the whole name search (brainstorm, check, present the free names with prices):
/plugin marketplace add JohnDaka/domainscout-mcp
/plugin install domainscout@domainscoutOr the server alone:
claude mcp add domainscout -- npx -y @dakaio/domainscout-mcpCursor and VS Code: use the buttons at the top, or add the server to the MCP config.
Any MCP client: add to the MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"domainscout": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@dakaio/domainscout-mcp"],
"env": { "DOMAINSCOUT_TLDS": "com,net,ai,io" }
}
}
}On Windows, if npx is not found, use "command": "cmd" with "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@dakaio/domainscout-mcp"].
Then just ask: "Brainstorm 200 names for my coffee subscription app and tell me which .com domains are free."
From source: npm install && npm run build, then run node /path/to/domainscout-mcp/dist/index.js in place of npx -y @dakaio/domainscout-mcp.
