Domain Checker

Check domain name availability instantly using RDAP. No API key or installation required. Works as a remote MCP server.

Quick Start

This is a remote MCP server -- no local installation needed. Just add the URL to your MCP client.

Tools

Tool	Description
check_domain	Check if a single domain name is available for registration. Returns registrar, creation date, expiry, and nameservers for taken domains.
check_domains_bulk	Check up to 50 domain names at once. Returns per-domain results with summary counts.
suggest_domains	Generate and check domain name ideas for a keyword or business description. Creates 15 variations across .com, .io, .ai, .dev, .co and common prefixes/suffixes.

Example Prompts

Try asking your AI assistant:

• "Is coolstartup.com available?"
• "Check if these domains are available: acmecorp.com, acmehq.com, getacme.com"
• "Find me a domain for a pet grooming business"
• "I'm building a fintech app called PayFlow, find me a domain"

How It Works

DomainCheckr uses the RDAP protocol (Registration Data Access Protocol) to check domain availability in real time. RDAP is the modern replacement for WHOIS, standardized by the IETF.

• Queries Verisign RDAP for .com/.net domains
• Queries PIR RDAP for .org domains
• Falls back to rdap.org for all other TLDs
• HTTP 404 = available, HTTP 200 = taken

No scraping, no third-party APIs, no rate-limited services. Direct registry queries.

REST API

The same service is available as a REST API for building your own integrations or ChatGPT Actions.
