Setup
Install MCP Domain Availability Checker in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-domain-availability
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
Check the availability of domain names across over 50 popular TLDs using DNS and WHOIS verification.
- Check availability across 50+ popular TLD extensions
- Support for popular (.com, .io, .ai), country (.us, .uk, .de), and new TLDs (.app, .dev, .tech)
- Dual verification using DNS and WHOIS for accuracy
- Smart TLD suggestions organized by popularity
- Check specific domains with exact TLD matching
- Bulk checking across supported extensions for a given name
- Parallel processing for faster domain queries
- Organized results by TLD categories
- Easy setup with uvx package management
- Seamless integration with Claude Desktop
- Real-time availability status updates
- Performance metrics and timing information
- Natural language domain queries through Claude
- Automated domain suggestion workflows
- Smart recommendations based on availability
- Python 3.10 or higher
- Claude Desktop
- uvpackage manager
Install uv package manager using one of these methods:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
The MCP server automatically manages Python dependencies through uvx.
The MCP Domain Availability Checker supports direct installation without cloning repositories, using uvx for package management.
The Claude Desktop configuration file is located at:
- macOS:~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows:%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- Linux:~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Edit this file to add the Domain Availability MCP configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-domain-availability": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--python=3.10", "--from", "git+https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-domain-availability", "mcp-domain-availability" ] } } }
If you already have other MCPs configured, simply add the "mcp-domain-availability" section inside the "mcpServers" object:
{ "mcpServers": { "otherMcp": { "command": "...", "args": ["..."] }, "mcp-domain-availability": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--python=3.10", "--from", "git+https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-domain-availability", "mcp-domain-availability" ] } } }
To install mcp-domain-availability for Claude Desktop automatically viaSmithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @imprvhub/mcp-domain-availability --client claude
git clone https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-domain-availability cd mcp-domain-availability
uv run src/mcp_domain_availability/main.py
Deploying with Docker to Google Cloud Run
The MCP server supports two transport modes:
- stdio(default): For Claude Desktop integration via stdin/stdout
- sse: For HTTP/web deployments like Google Cloud Run
When deploying to Cloud Run, theMCP_TRANSPORTenvironment variable must be set tosse.
- Google Cloud SDKinstalled and authenticated (gcloud auth login)
- Dockerinstalled and running
- A Google Cloud Project with the Cloud Run and Container Registry APIs enabled
The easiest way to deploy is to use thedeploy.shscript.
-
Edit the script:Opendeploy.shand replace...with your Google CloudPROJECT_ID. You can also change theREGIONif needed.
Run the script:Make the script executable and run it.
The script will build the Docker image, push it to Google Container Registry, and deploy it to Cloud Run with MCP_TRANSPORT=sse.
Alternatively, you can run the commands manually.
export PROJECT_ID="<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>" export REGION="<YOUR_REGION>" export IMAGE="gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/mcp-domain-availability:latest"
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t $IMAGE --push .
gcloud run deploy mcp-domain-availability \ --image $IMAGE \ --region $REGION \ --platform managed \ --allow-unauthenticated \ --port 8080 \ --set-env-vars MCP_TRANSPORT=sse \ --project $PROJECT_ID
Note:For local Claude Desktop usage, no environment variables are needed. The server defaults tostdiotransport mode.
The MCP Domain Availability Checker uses multiple verification methods to determine domain availability:
- DNS Resolution: Checks if the domain resolves to an IP address
- WHOIS Lookup: Queries WHOIS databases for registration information
- Socket Connection: Falls back to socket-based checking when other methods aren't available
The tool combines results from these methods to provide accurate availability status, with parallel processing for checking multiple domains simultaneously.

Here are examples of how to use the MCP Domain Availability Checker with Claude:
Check if mysite.com is available using --domain
Check availability for "startup" across all TLDs using --domain
Is awesome.io available? Use --domain to check
The tool provides comprehensive results including:
- Requested Domain: Status of the exact domain queried (if specific TLD provided)
- Available Domains: List of available domains sorted alphabetically
- Unavailable Domains: List of registered domains
- Summary Statistics: Breakdown by TLD categories (Popular, Country, New TLDs)
- Performance Metrics: Check duration for each domain
If you see connection errors in Claude Desktop:
- Runuvx --versionto ensure uvx is properly installed
- Reinstall uv if necessary:curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
- Ensure Python 3.10+ is available:python3 --version
- Verify internet connection is stable
- Check if DNS servers are accessible
- Large bulk checks may hit rate limits from DNS/WHOIS services
- The tool uses a semaphore to limit concurrent requests to 20
- Ensure JSON syntax is valid inclaude_desktop_config.json
- Check that all brackets and quotes are properly matched
- Close and restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
- main.py: Main entry point with MCP server and domain checking logic
- Domain checking functions with DNS, WHOIS, and socket fallback methods
- TLD management with categorized lists
- Async processing for parallel domain checks
The MCP Domain Availability Checker makes external network requests to DNS servers and WHOIS services. Users should be aware that:
- Domain queries may be logged by DNS providers
- WHOIS queries are typically logged and may be rate-limited
- No personal information is transmitted beyond the domain names being checked
- All queries are read-only and do not modify any external systems
Contributions are welcome! Areas for improvement include:
- Adding support for additional TLD categories
- Implementing caching mechanisms for faster repeated queries
- Enhancing WHOIS parsing for more detailed domain information
- Improving error handling and retry mechanisms
