dotsleuth

An MCP server that checks domain availability and returns only the available ones — with direct registration links. Describe your idea to your LLM, let it suggest names, and dotsleuth handles the rest.

Status: in development. Star the repo to follow progress.

How it works

1. You describe a business idea in Claude (or any MCP-compatible host)
2. The LLM generates name candidates
3. dotsleuth checks availability across registrars in bulk
4. Only available domains come back, with pricing and one-click registration links

No more tab-switching. No more falling in love with a name that's been taken since 2003.

Installation

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dotsleuth": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "dotsleuth"]
    }
  }
}

That's it. No API keys, no accounts, no setup.

Optional: use your own affiliate ID

dotsleuth registration links include an affiliate ID by default (the maintainer's). If you'd like to use your own — for instance if you're a developer self-hosting the full stack — you can override it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dotsleuth": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "dotsleuth"],
      "env": {
        "DOTSLEUTH_AFFILIATE_NAMECHEAP": "your-namecheap-affiliate-id",
        "DOTSLEUTH_AFFILIATE_GODADDY": "your-godaddy-affiliate-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Both are optional — omit either to keep the default.
