# DomainKits MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that turns AI assistants into domain investment experts. Search, analyze, and discover domain names with real-time market data.

## What is this?

DomainKits MCP connects AI assistants (Claude, GPT, etc.) to professional domain intelligence tools. Instead of guessing domain availability, the AI can actually check it. Instead of generic naming suggestions, it validates ideas against real market data.
