Setup

1. Get API credentials

Log into name.com
Go to Account > API Settings (or https://www.name.com/account/settings/api)
Generate a new API token
Note your username and the generated token

2. Install

cd /path/to/namecom-mcp
npm install

3. Add to Claude Code

Add the following to your Claude Code MCP configuration file (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json or the Claude Code settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namecom": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/namecom-mcp/src/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NAMECOM_USERNAME": "your-namecom-username",
        "NAMECOM_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /absolute/path/to/namecom-mcp with the actual path where you cloned/installed this server.

On Windows with WSL or Git Bash you may need to adjust the path format.

4. Restart Claude Code

After saving the config, restart Claude Code. You should see the namecom tools available.

Rate Limits

name.com enforces: 20 requests/second, 3000 requests/hour. The server does not implement client-side rate limiting — avoid bulk operations in tight loops.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`NAMECOM_USERNAME`	Yes	Your name.com account username
`NAMECOM_TOKEN`	Yes	Your name.com API token

The server will exit with an error message if either variable is missing.

Example Usage (in Claude)

Search for available domains for a baby product startup:
  namecom_search keyword="babyzen" tldFilter=["com","io","co"]

Check if specific domains are available:
  namecom_check_availability domainNames=["babyzen.com","babyzen.io","babyzen.co"]

List all my domains:
  namecom_list_domains

Add a CNAME record pointing www to Vercel:
  namecom_create_record domainName="example.com" host="www" type="CNAME" answer="cname.vercel-dns.com"

Point a domain to Cloudflare nameservers:
  namecom_set_nameservers domainName="example.com" nameservers=["ns1.cloudflare.com","ns2.cloudflare.com"]
