Name.ai MCP Server tools (4)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • search_domainFree

    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.

  • tld_registration_priceFree

    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_requirementsFree

    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".

  • whois_lookupFree

    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".

What the publisher says

From the Name.ai MCP Server repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

nameai-mcp

A remote MCP server exposing a handful of name.ai's public, no-auth-required APIs as tools: domain search/availability, WHOIS lookup, TLD registration pricing, and TLD requirements. See src/nameaimcp/server.py for the tool definitions and src/nameaimcp/nameai_client.py for the HTTP client that talks to name.ai.

Endpoints

endpoint. This is the URL an MCP client/host connects to.

  • GET /health — health check.
  • POST /mcp (and GET /mcp for the SSE stream) — the MCP streamable-http

Configuration

Defaults to https://name.ai.

  • NAMEAIAPIBASE_URL — base URL of the name.ai API this server calls.
  • HOST / PORT — bind address for the server itself. Default 0.0.0.0:8000.

Local development

uv sync
uv run uvicorn nameai_mcp.app:app --reload

Docker

docker build -t nameai-mcp .
docker run -p 8000:8000 nameai-mcp

The image runs nameai-mcp (the main() entry point in src/nameaimcp/\\init\\_.py), which reads HOST/PORT from the environment — pass -e PORT=... if your platform injects a different port.

Deploying

Any host that can run the Docker image works. It is deployed through Coolify on the Hetzner server and served at https://mcp.name.ai/mcp (streamable-http), with Traefik terminating TLS. The original hostname, https://nameai-mcp.h.namekart.com/mcp, still routes to the same container, so client configs written against it keep working.

mcp.name.ai is a DNS-only A record to the Hetzner box. It exists because scanners and MCP tooling look for a server at mcp. instead of reading the URL out of a manifest — ora's scanner was watched, in this container's own access log, never dialling the manifest's mcpUrl during a scan. Adding a hostname needs two things besides DNS: the domain on the Coolify app, and the host appended to MCPALLOWEDHOSTS, without which the SDK's DNS-rebinding guard answers it with 421.

The server calls the public API at NAMEAIAPIBASE_URL, default https://name.ai. Since name.ai moved to Hetzner that resolves to the same host this container runs on, so the calls leave the container, reach the host's own public IP, and come back in through Traefik. That hairpin works here and is left in place deliberately: talking to the API exactly the way an outside client would is the point of this server.

Being reachable isn't the same as being discovered — and that part is done. name.ai advertises this server in four places:

  • https://name.ai/.well-known/mcp.json — manifest
  • https://name.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json — server card
  • https://name.ai/llms.txt — in both the endpoint list and the tool guidance
  • the MCP Registry, namespace ai.name, domain-verified

All four live in the nameaiv1 repo. If the deployed URL changes, they change with it — otherwise agents keep being pointed at the old one.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
