Show HN: Domain Search MCP – AI-powered domain availability checker

5 points by dorukardahan ago | 3 comments
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants check domain availability in real-time.

Features: - Multi-source: Porkbun, Namecheap, RDAP, WHOIS - Price comparison across registrars - Social handle checking (GitHub, Twitter, npm, etc.) - Premium domain detection with pricing insights

Works with any MCP-compatible client.

Install: npx -y domain-search-mcp

I’ve tried different domain mcps in the past with limited success. Each time I found a good domain and went to register it I found it had premium pricing and was like $500++

Curious if this has anything setup to avoid that?

Hey HN! I built this because I got tired of context-switching between AI assistants and domain registrars while brainstorming project names.

Now I just ask "Is coolproject.com available?" and get instant results with pricing from multiple sources.

Technical details: - TypeScript + Zod validation - 98 tests, security audited - LRU cache with TTL - Rate limiting per registrar

Happy to answer any questions about the architecture or MCP in general!
