- 03Review market activity and listings
- 04Register, buy, and sell names
- 05Manage records, renewals, and subnames
- 06Explore agent identity and ENS knowledge

MCP support
It exposes 44 ENS tools to MCP clients through local stdio or the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint. The local package forwards tool calls to the NameWhisper backend.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

AI-powered ENS intelligence for autonomous agents. Search 3.5M+ names, get valuations, trade, and manage ENS domains — all via the Model Context Protocol.
Quick Start
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"namewhisper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "namewhisper-mcp"]

}
Claude Code
claude mcp add namewhisper -- npx -y namewhisper-mcp
Direct Usage
npx namewhisper-mcp
Remote endpoint (no install)
The same 44 tools are served directly over streamable HTTP — point any remote-capable MCP client at:
https://namewhisper.ai/mcp
For Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http namewhisper https://namewhisper.ai/mcp
Server card: namewhisper.ai/.well-known/mcp.json · Registry: ai.namewhisper/ens-tools on the MCP Registry
What It Does
NameWhisper exposes 44 ENS tools over the Model Context Protocol, giving AI agents full access to:
- Search — natural language queries across 3.5M+ indexed ENS names with semantic vector search
- Valuation — confidence-rated price estimates using comparable sales, entity recognition, and quality signals
- Marketplace — browse listings, find underpriced names, check recent sales and offers
- Commerce — register names, list names for sale, buy listings (single or batch up to 20), make offers, accept offers, cancel listings and offers, bulk register up to 20 names in 2 transactions
- Management — renew, transfer, set records, wrap/unwrap, manage fuses, create subnames
- Agent Identity — provision ENSIP-25 agent identities, check ERC-8004 reputation, search the agent directory
- Knowledge — search ENS governance proposals, protocol docs, and community discussions

This package is a thin proxy. It registers tool schemas locally for your MCP client to discover, then forwards all tool calls to the NameWhisper backend at namewhisper.ai/mcp. The proprietary valuation engine, marketplace aggregation, database, and on-chain transaction building all run server-side.
No API key required. No database. No secrets. Just npx and go.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
