Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@TLDers Domain Prices Where is a .com cheapest to register and renew right now?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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.

Add a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP):
Client | Setting |
Clients that support headers (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, MCP Inspector) | URL |
claude.ai custom connectors and other clients without header support | URL |
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.
For Claude Desktop's config file and other clients that run local servers. Needs Node.js 18+.
{
"mcpServers": {
"tlders": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@tlders/mcp"],
"env": { "TLDERS_API_KEY": "tld_live_..." }
}
}
}To run the server from source instead of the published package (useful while changing it), clone this repo, run npm install, then use "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/tlders-mcp/index.js"]. It reads the same TLDERS_API_KEY variable, and TLDERS_MCP_URL overrides the hosted endpoint.
This repo is also an Agent Plugins package (plugin.json + mcp.json) that connects to the hosted server. Once installed, add your key by passing it as the api_key argument or switching the server URL to https://www.tlders.com/api/mcp?key=tld_live_....

Tool | What it does |
| Cheapest registrar per extension for first-year registration, renewal, transfer and 3-year total |
| Every registrar's register / renew / transfer price for one extension, cheapest first |
| Compare registrar prices across up to 20 extensions |
| Per-registrar registration and renewal price history |
| Active registrar promo codes, biggest discount first |
| Live availability for a full domain name (RDAP, WHOIS fallback) |
| Every tracked registrar with WHOIS-privacy info |
Prices are USD per year. First-year prices are often promotions, so the renewal price is always included.
All tools are read-only. Each one is annotated readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false and idempotentHint: true. Nothing is bought, registered or changed, so clients can run them without asking for confirmation.
"Where is a .com cheapest to register and to renew?"
"Compare .io, .ai and .dev prices over three years."
"Is my-startup.dev available, and which registrar should I buy it from?"
"Are there any promo codes for .xyz right now?"
Plan | Limit |
