NameSniper MCP Server

NameSniper monitors taken usernames and alerts you the moment one frees up or drops, so you can claim a handle before anyone else. It also checks live handle availability across all the major social platforms, checks domains across popular TLDs, and screens names for trademark conflicts. All from your AI client - Claude, Cursor, or any MCP host.

The server runs remotely at https://namesniper.pro/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Checking and alternatives are free and need no account; name generation, trademark screening, and handle monitoring need a NameSniper API key (Pro or Business plan).

Handle monitoring

Most availability checkers give a one-time yes or no. NameSniper keeps watching: put a taken handle on watch with namesniper_watch and get notified the instant it frees up across every platform we support, so you can register it first. Every plan includes watch slots (more on paid tiers); Instagram, TikTok, and X monitoring requires a paid plan.

Connect

Option A: remote URL (clients with native remote MCP support)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namesniper": {
      "url": "https://namesniper.pro/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Option B: npx bridge (works with any stdio MCP client)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namesniper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "namesniper-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

With an API key for the paid tools (generate, trademark, watch):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "namesniper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "namesniper-mcp"],
      "env": { "NAMESNIPER_API_KEY": "ns_sk_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

You can also pass the key as a flag: npx namesniper-mcp --key ns_sk_.... Get a key at namesniper.pro/dashboard.

Config file locations:

  • Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json
