Developer portal

# Developers

This developer portal is free and public — no signup required to start building against name.ai's API docs, MCP server, or OpenAPI spec. Signing in via OAuth additionally unlocks real marketplace pricing on domain search.

### MCP server

Domain search/availability, WHOIS lookup, and TLD pricing/requirements as MCP tools. Works with any MCP client — Claude, and others.

[View manifest →](https://name.ai/.well-known/mcp.json)

### API docs (OpenAPI)

The same endpoints as plain REST, documented as an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, for anything that isn’t speaking MCP.

[View OpenAPI spec →](https://name.ai/openapi.json)

### Authentication

OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Optional — every endpoint works without it. Signing in additionally unlocks real marketplace prices.

### Site map for agents

A curated, machine-readable overview of name.ai — what it is, and where to start.

## Connect from your IDE or agent

The MCP server is remote — no install, no API key. Add it to any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others) with this config:

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "name-ai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://nameai-mcp.h.namekart.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Or with the Claude Code CLI:

```
claude mcp add --transport http name-ai https://nameai-mcp.h.namekart.com/mcp
```

Tools available: domain search/availability, WHOIS lookup, TLD registration pricing, and TLD registration requirements. To see real marketplace prices on domain searches, authenticate per [auth.md](https://name.ai/auth.md). The server is open source — source, `AGENTS.md`, and agent plugin manifest at [github.com/namekart/nameai\_mcp](https://github.com/namekart/nameai_mcp). Pricing for agents: [/pricing](https://name.ai/pricing) (HTML) or [/pricing.md](https://name.ai/pricing.md) (markdown).
