Openprovider MCP For Domain Managemenet
LocalAbout Openprovider MCP For Domain Managemenet
Openprovider MCP Server connects AI assistants and other MCP clients to an Openprovider account for domain and contact management. Its tools cover availability checks, registrations, and account lookups.
Key features
- 01Authenticate with Openprovider
- 02Check domain availability
- 03Register domains
- 04List and inspect domains
- 05List and create contacts
Use cases
- 01Check a domain before registration
- 02Register a domain through an AI client
- 03Review domains and contacts in an account
MCP support
The server exposes Openprovider authentication and domain and contact management tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
docker run -i --rm -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN -e OPENPROVIDER_USERNAME -e OPENPROVIDER_PASSWORD -e DEBUG mcp/githubGITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKENSecretOPENPROVIDER_USERNAMEOPENPROVIDER_PASSWORDSecretDEBUGLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details

Installation
1. Install Node.js
Before installing the MCP server, make sure Node.js 20+ is installed. You can do this via Node Version Manager (nvm):
# Install nvm (if not already installed)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
# Reload shell
source ~/.bashrc
# Install Node.js 20
nvm install 20
# Set it as default
nvm use 20
2. Clone the Repository
git clone [email protected]:hichamdotpage/openprovider-mcp.git
cd openprovider-mcp
3. Install Dependencies
npm install
4. Build the Project
npm run build
5. Test the Server
npm test
6. Install Globally (Optional)
You can install the MCP server globally to use it as a CLI tool:
# Install globally from the local directory
npm install -g .
# Or with yarn
yarn global add .
# Or with pnpm
pnpm add -g .
After installing globally, you can run the server from anywhere using:
openprovider-mcp
Configuration
Environment Variables
The server can be configured using environment variables. Create a .env file in the root directory based on the provided .env.example:
# Openprovider API Credentials
OPENPROVIDER_USERNAME=your_username
OPENPROVIDER_PASSWORD=your_password
# Debug mode (true/false)
DEBUG=false
Integration with AI Assistants
Cursor Integration
To use the Openprovider MCP server with Cursor, you need to add it to your Cursor MCP settings file located at:
~/.cursor/mcp/config.json
Add the following configuration:
{
"servers": {
"openprovider": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/openprovider-server/server.js"],
"env": {
"OPENPROVIDER_USERNAME": "your_username",
"OPENPROVIDER_PASSWORD": "your_password",
"DEBUG": "false"
}
}
}
}
Claude Integration
To use the Openprovider MCP server with Claude, you need to run the server and provide the endpoint to Claude. First, start the server:
node server.js --port 3000
Then, in Claude, you can connect to the MCP server using the following configuration:
MCP Server Configuration:
- Name: openprovider
- Endpoint: http://localhost:3000
- Authentication: None (authentication is handled by the server)
You can then use the MCP tools in Claude by using the following syntax:
<mcp name="openprovider" tool="check_domain">
{
"domains": [
{
"name": "example",
"extension": "com"
}
],
"with_price": true
}
</mcp>
Usage
Once configured, you can use the Openprovider MCP server with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other platform that supports the Model Context Protocol.
Example: Checking Domain Availability
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>openprovider</server_name>
<tool_name>check_domain</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"domains": [
{
"name": "example",
"extension": "com"
},
{
"name": "example",
"extension": "org"
}
],
"with_price": true
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Example: Registering a Domain
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>openprovider</server_name>
<tool_name>register_domain</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"domain": {
"name": "example",
"extension": "com"
},
"period": 1,
"owner_handle": "ABC123",
"name_servers": [
{
"name": "ns1.example.com"
},
{
"name": "ns2.example.com"
}
]
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Documentation
Detailed documentation for all available tools can be found in the docs directory:
- Tools Documentation: Detailed information about each tool, including input schemas, examples, and responses.
- Troubleshooting Guide: Solutions to common issues you might encounter when using the Openprovider MCP server.
Examples
The repository includes example scripts that demonstrate how to use the Openprovider MCP server:
Domain Check Example
This example demonstrates how to check domain availability:
npm run example:check
Domain Registration Example
This example demonstrates how to register a new domain:
npm run example:register
Integration with Workflows
This MCP server can be used with workflow automation platforms like n8n to implement complex domain management workflows. The server exposes a standardized interface that can be accessed programmatically.
The examples in the examples directory show how to integrate with the MCP server programmatically using Node.js.
n8n Workflow Example
An example n8n workflow is provided in the examples/n8n-workflow.json file. This workflow demonstrates how to:
- Check domain availability
- Display domain status and pricing
- List contacts if the domain is available
To use this workflow:
- Import the workflow JSON file into your n8n instance
- Set up environment variables for
OPENPROVIDER_USERNAMEandOPENPROVIDER_PASSWORD - Make sure the Openprovider MCP server is running locally
- Activate and run the workflow

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.
