Install

How do I install the NameSniper MCP server?

NameSniper is a hosted endpoint at https://namesniper.pro/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~1,689 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
namesniper_alternatives ~123

Generate variations of an existing brand name using deterministic prefix, suffix, compound, and wordplay patterns. Returns JSON alternatives[] each with the name, the pattern used, a description, and a 0-100 brandability score. Use this to riff on a name the user already has; use namesniper_generate for brand-new AI ideas from a description. Free, no API key needed.

NameTypeReqDescription
countintegerNumber of alternatives to generate (1-20, default: 8)
namestringyesThe base brand name

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_check ~301

All-in-one brand name check: domain availability across TLDs, username availability across the major social platforms, an optional 0-100 brand score, and USPTO trademark screening. Returns JSON with per-TLD and per-platform results (each with an availability verdict and 0-1 confidence), availability summaries, brandScore, and trademark risk. Use namesniper_check_domains or namesniper_check_social instead when only one dimension is needed. Free without an API key (rate-limited; trademark is skipped and Instagram/TikTok/X return best-effort HTTP confidence); a paid key unlocks verified accuracy on those platforms plus trademark screening.

NameTypeReqDescription
brandScorebooleanInclude brand score analysis (default: true)
domainsarrayTLDs to check (default: com,org,net,app,dev,tech,io,co,ai)
namestringyesThe brand name to check
planstringIgnored - derived from your API key
platformsarraySocial platforms to check (default: the standard platform grid; excludes Telegram, pass platforms explicitly including telegram to check it)
trademarkbooleanInclude trademark screening via USPTO — requires an API key and counts against the plan's monthly screening allowance; ignored for unauthenticated callers (default: true when authenticated)
userIdstringIgnored - derived from your API key

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_check_domains ~203

Check whether a domain name is registered across multiple TLDs using DNS lookups with a registry-data fallback. Returns JSON with per-TLD results (available true/false with a 0-1 confidence score) and an available/taken summary. Pass details=true to add a registration record on each taken TLD (registrar, registeredAt, expiresAt, status, dropStage) read from the registry; registrant identity is usually redacted. Faster and narrower than namesniper_check when social handles are not needed. Free, rate-limited.

NameTypeReqDescription
detailsbooleanAttach registry registration details (registrar, dates, status, drop stage) to taken TLDs (default: false)
namestringyesThe domain name to check (without TLD)
tldsarrayTLDs to check (default: com,org,net,app,dev,tech,io,co,ai)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_check_social ~183

Check username availability across the major social platforms concurrently. Returns JSON with per-platform results (status available/taken/error with a 0-1 confidence score) and an available/taken summary. Narrower than namesniper_check when domains are not needed; if a wanted handle is taken, offer namesniper_watch. Free and rate-limited without an API key (Instagram, TikTok, and X/Twitter return best-effort HTTP confidence); a paid key unlocks verified accuracy on those three.

NameTypeReqDescription
namestringyesThe username to check
planstringIgnored - derived from your API key

userIdstringIgnored - derived from your API key

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_generate ~209

Generate new brand name ideas with AI from a business or project description, each enriched with a live .com availability check. Non-deterministic: repeated calls produce different names (identical requests are served from a 24-hour cache and flagged with cached: true). Typical latency 5-30 seconds. Returns JSON names[] with the name, an explanation, tags, a confidence score, and comAvailable. Requires an API key (paid plan) and counts against a daily generation quota. To riff on a name the user already has, use namesniper_alternatives instead (free, deterministic).

NameTypeReqDescription

namesniper_roblox_rarity ~66

Rate the rarity of a Roblox username (Common to Legendary, 0-100 score) from measured namespace saturation data and name structure, with a live availability check. Free, no API key needed.

NameTypeReqDescription
usernamestringyesThe Roblox username to rate

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_telegram_price ~71

Look up the recorded market price history of a Telegram username: peak and latest on-chain sale (in TON), live auction state, and bid activity, from public TON blockchain records. Free, no API key needed.

NameTypeReqDescription
usernamestringyesThe Telegram username to look up (without @)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_trademark ~141

Screen a brand name for US trademark conflicts against the USPTO database with similarity analysis. Returns JSON with matching marks and a summary including an overall risk rating; with includeVariations, common spelling variations are screened too (slower, more lookups). A screening aid, not legal advice. Requires an API key (paid plan); each distinct name counts against the plan's monthly screening allowance (re-screening a name is free).

NameTypeReqDescription
includeVariationsbooleanCheck common variations (default: false)
namestringyesThe brand name to screen
userIdstringIgnored - derived from your API key

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_unwatch ~127

Stop monitoring a watched handle and free its slot. Pass the watch id from namesniper_watches, or a username (optionally narrowed to one platform) to remove all its watches. Returns JSON with the removed count and ids. Requires an API key.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringWatch id from namesniper_watches
platformstringLimit username-based removal to one platform
userIdstringIgnored - derived from your API key
usernamestringRemove watches for this username across all platforms unless platform is given

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_watch ~171

Start monitoring a taken username so the user can claim it when it frees up or drops (alerts follow the plan's check schedule after two confirming checks). Creates one watch per platform against the plan's slot limit (already-watched pairs are skipped); checks then run automatically on a plan-based schedule and alerts are delivered in-app, by email, and to any configured webhooks. Returns JSON with created watch ids and the skipped count. List watches with namesniper_watches; stop one with namesniper_unwatch. Requires a paid API key (Pro or Business).

NameTypeReqDescription
platformsarrayPlatforms to watch - required; each consumes one watch slot
userIdstringIgnored - derived from your API key
usernamestringyesThe username/handle to watch

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

namesniper_watches ~94

List every handle the account is monitoring. Returns JSON watches[] with id, username, platform, watch status, last observed availability, last-checked and last-changed timestamps, and check count, plus slot usage {used, limit}. Use a watch id with namesniper_unwatch to stop monitoring it. Requires an API key.
