TLDers Domain Prices — MCP server
Live domain prices from 145+ registrars and 1,100+ TLDs, as a remote Model Context Protocol server. Ask your AI assistant where a domain is cheapest to register, renew or transfer, compare extensions, find promo codes and check availability — with real, daily-updated prices from TLDers.
Use it two ways: connect to the hosted server at https://www.tlders.com/api/mcp, or run this repository's small local (stdio) server, which forwards each tool call to the hosted one with your key.
Connect
- Get a free API key at https://www.tlders.com/developers (no card needed).
- Add a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP):
| Client | Setting |
|---|---|
| Clients that support headers (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, MCP Inspector) | URL https://www.tlders.com/api/mcp, header Authorization: Bearer tld_live_... |
| claude.ai custom connectors and other clients without header support | URL https://www.tlders.com/api/mcp?key=tld_live_... |
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http tlders https://www.tlders.com/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer tld_live_..."
Treat a URL with ?key= like a password. If it leaks, revoke the key from your TLDers account and create a new one.
Local (stdio) server
For Claude Desktop's config file and other clients that run local servers. Needs Node.js 18+.

"tlders": {
"command": "npx",

Until the npm package is published, run it from a clone instead: npm install, then use "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/tlders-mcp/index.js"].
