  "markdown": "# Namecheap MCP\n\n> Check domain availability across 600+ TLDs on Namecheap without leaving Claude\n\nAsk Claude to check domains conversationally and get instant results with purchase links.\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\nnpx @birdmania1/namecheap-mcp\n```\n\n**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** After installing, you MUST configure your Namecheap API credentials (see Setup below). The MCP won't work without them.\n\n---\n\n## Setup (3 minutes)\n\nCopy-paste these commands to Claude **one at a time** and follow the steps:\n\n---\n\n### Step 1: Get Your IP Address\n\n**Say to Claude:**\n```\nVisit https://api.ipify.org and tell me my IP address\n```\n\nClaude will tell you your IP. **Write it down** - you'll need it in steps 2 and 3.\n\n---\n\n### Step 2: Enable Namecheap API\n\n**Do these steps manually in your browser:**\n\n1. Go to https://www.namecheap.com and log in\n2. Click **Profile (top right) → Tools → Namecheap API Access**\n3. Click **\"Enable API Access\"**\n4. Under **Whitelisted IPs**, click **\"Add New\"** and paste your IP from Step 1\n5. **Copy your API key** - you'll need it in Step 3\n\n---\n\n### Step 3: Configure Claude Code\n\n**Say to Claude:**\n```\nAdd the Namecheap MCP server to my Claude Code config with these credentials:\n- API User: [your namecheap username]\n- API Key: [the key you just copied]\n- Username: [your namecheap username]\n- Client IP: [the IP from step 1]\n\nUse this exact MCP server config:\n\n{\n  \"command\": \"npx\",\n  \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@birdmania1/namecheap-mcp\"],\n  \"env\": {\n    \"NAMECHEAP_API_USER\": \"your_username\",\n    \"NAMECHEAP_API_KEY\": \"your_api_key_here\",\n    \"NAMECHEAP_USERNAME\": \"your_username\",\n    \"NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP\": \"your.ip.address.here\"\n  }\n}\n\nImportant:\n1. Add it to the SAME config file where your other MCP servers are (check where perplexity/github/etc are configured)\n2. Make sure \"namecheap\" only appears in ONE config file (not duplicated across ~/.claude.json, settings.json, or mcp.json)\n3. If you get errors, check for duplicate entries and remove them\n```\n\n**Important:** Replace the placeholder values with your actual credentials before sending to Claude.\n\n---\n\n### Step 4: Restart Claude Code\n\nFully quit Claude Code (⌘+Q on Mac, Alt+F4 on Windows) and reopen it.\n\n---\n\n### Step 5: Test It\n\n**Say to Claude:**\n```\nCheck if example.com and startup.io are available\n```\n\nYou should get instant results with prices and purchase links!\n\nIf it doesn't work, see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) below.\n\n---\n\n## What You Can Do\n\n**Find startup names:**\n```\n\"I'm building a SaaS for restaurants. Help me find a domain.\"\n```\n\n**Check specific domains:**\n```\n\"Check if myapp.com, myapp.io, and myapp.ai are available\"\n```\n\n**Find alternatives:**\n```\n\"example.com is taken. Find me similar domains.\"\n```\n\n**Research TLDs:**\n```\n\"Check if any single-word domains are available in .ai\"\n```\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- **600+ TLDs** — .com, .io, .ai, .xyz, .tech, and more\n- **Batch checking** — Check 100 domains at once\n- **Instant pricing** — See costs upfront\n- **Purchase links** — One-click to buy\n- **Secure** — Direct API, no proxy server\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**\"Invalid request IP\" error:**\n- Your IP changed. Update it in Namecheap's whitelist.\n- Ask Claude \"What's my IP?\" to get your current IP.\n\n**\"API access not enabled\":**\n- Enable it in your Namecheap account settings.\n\n**Not showing up in Claude:**\n- Check for duplicate entries: \"namecheap\" should only appear in ONE config file\n- Common locations: `~/.claude.json`, `~/.claude/settings.json`, `~/.claude/mcp.json`\n- Remove duplicates, keeping only the one in the file where your other MCPs live\n- Restart Claude Code after editing (full quit and reopen)\n- Verify JSON is valid (no trailing commas, proper nesting)\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n\n**Made by developers tired of tab-switching**\n",
