MCP domain availability: MCP server, setup and security
MCP domain availability is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent check domain availability across TLDs and obtain name suggestions. Its repository has 61 stars and its last commit is from September 27, 2026 and it is licensed under MPL-2.0.
What MCP domain availability does
According to its repository: “Check domain availability across many TLDs with DNS and WHOIS verification, bulk checking and name suggestions.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. MCP domain availability is listed under Web search and extraction, a category of 159 servers in the directory, where it ranks #61 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: ai-tools, anthropic, claude, claude-ai, claude-desktop, dns.
Installing and connecting MCP domain availability
No package or remote server is declared in the official MCP registry: you install it from source, following the repository README.
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: Python.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to MCP domain availability. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on May 22, 2025, the imprvhub/mcp-domain-availability repository has 61 stars and 10 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 56% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month.
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
