About Domain Check
Domain Check is an MCP server for checking domain registration availability, for users evaluating domain names. It routes lookups across 500+ TLDs through RDAP, with WHOIS fallback for selected TLDs.
Key features
- 01Checks domain availability
- 02Supports 500+ TLDs
- 03Uses RDAP with WHOIS fallback
- 04Returns structured status
Use cases
- 01Checking a single domain
- 02Screening a list of domain ideas
MCP support
Exposes the `check_domain` tool to MCP clients, returning the domain and its availability status.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEdomain-check-mcp
MCP server for checking domain name availability. Supports 500+ TLDs via RDAP, with WHOIS fallback for .de and .cn.
Installation
uvx domain-check-mcp
Usage in .mcp.json

"mcpServers": {
"domain-check": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["domain-check-mcp"]
}
}
}
Tools
- check_domain — Check if a domain name is available for registration
Example

Returns:
{
"domain": "example.com",
"available": false,
"status": "registered"
}
Supported TLDs
Via RDAP (500+)
All major gTLDs and many ccTLDs with RDAP support, sourced from the IANA RDAP Bootstrap:
.com, .net, .org, .info, .app, .dev, .io, .xyz, .site, .shop, .uk, .fr, .nl, .pl, .consulting, .cloud, .tech, .blog, .store, .online, and many more.
Via WHOIS
| TLD | WHOIS Server |
|---|---|
| .de | whois.denic.de |
| .cn | whois.cnnic.cn |
| .fj | www.whois.fj |
| .gs | whois.nic.gs |
| .bayern | whois.nic.bayern |
| .cat | whois.nic.cat |
| .eus | whois.nic.eus |
| .radio | whois.nic.radio |
| .scot | whois.nic.scot |
| .sport | whois.nic.sport |
How it works
- Extracts the TLD from the domain name
- Routes to the appropriate adapter (RDAP or WHOIS)
- RDAP: HTTP lookup — 404 means available, 200 means registered
- WHOIS: TCP port 43 lookup — pattern matching on the response
- Returns a structured result with availability status

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.
