MCP support
MCP clients can connect through the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint with a Bearer token, or use the npm launcher over stdio. The server exposes tools for name generation, domain checks, trademark screening, and scoring.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEStartup Name Generator MCP
Connect any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, or your own agent) to Startup Name Generator: generate startup names whose .com is available right now (checked live), then screen the one you pick against the US (USPTO) and EU (EUIPO) trademark registers.
Any model can suggest a name. The hard part, the part that actually protects you, is verifying the .com is free and the trademark is clear before you commit a company to a name. That is what these tools do.
Tools
- generate_names — brandable names whose .com is available, each checked live against domain records.
- check_domain — authoritative .com availability for a single name (via RDAP).
- screen_trademark — a US plus EU registry knockout search with exact, phonetic, and fuzzy matching, scored by Nice class. Not legal advice.
- score_name — a 0 to 100 defensibility score from the domain and trademark signal.
Quick start
- Get a free API key at startupnamegenerator.com/mcp.
- Add it to your MCP client.

Hosted (Streamable HTTP), direct
If your client speaks Streamable HTTP, point it straight at the server with a Bearer token, no npm needed:
URL: https://startupnamegenerator.com/api/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer your_key_here
This package is a thin convenience launcher: it bridges your client to that hosted endpoint via mcp-remote. The name, domain, and trademark engine runs server-side.
Pricing
Generating names and checking .com availability are free. The trademark Name Check is free, one a day; Pro and Ultimate raise the monthly allowance. See startupnamegenerator.com/pricing.

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.
