Find a domain with your AI assistant
Find a domain with your assistant, then compare buying outright with lease-to-own. No account or API key is needed.
Get to know a name
Illustration only: project-example.invalid, its description, and its potential uses are fictional.
You
“Tell me more about this name. How is it described, and what could I use it for?”
Your assistant
“I’ll call get_domain with the complete name and show the description and potential uses from its domain page.”
project-example.invalid
- Published description
- A welcoming name for tools that help people organize their projects.
Potential uses
- A team project planner
- A personal task organizer
- A shared workspace for small groups
For a real listing, your assistant returns the copy published on its domain page. Empty fields mean no copy is published or the copy is withheld. Potential uses are suggestions, not proof of suitability or trademark rights.
Compare the ways to buy
Illustration only: example.invalid is a fictional domain. These amounts use our configured standard lease terms.
You
“I like this name. What would I pay upfront, each month, and in total?”
Your assistant
“I’ll use get_purchase_options to compare the current outright price with the published lease plans.”
| Payment | Buy outright | Lease to own · 24 months |
|---|---|---|
| First payment | $3,005 | $137 · no down payment |
| Monthly payment | None | $137 through the month before the final payment |
| Final payment | None | $155 |
| Total cost | $3,005 | $3,306 |
| Extra cost versus outright | None | $301 |
Buying outright completes payment at once. Lease-to-own spreads the cost; ownership transfers after you complete the payments.
For a real listing, your assistant checks current prices and shows its domain-page link. Review the terms and any additional checkout fees there. Cash-only deals may leave lease prices unchanged.
Compare a shortlist
Illustration only: every name below is fictional. These example prices are not offers.
You
“Find alternatives to meal-original.invalid for a meal-planning app. My budget is $3,500 USD. Compare the best matches.”
Your assistant
“I’ll call suggest_alternatives with your brief, then check each finalist with get_domain. I’ll compare the priced matches and keep offer-only names separate.”
| Name | Illustrated cash price | Naming opinion | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| meal-example.invalid | $3,005 | Suggests the app’s main purpose. | Leaves less of the illustrated budget for launch. |
| menu-example.invalid | $1,500 | Suggests organizing meals. | Could also suggest a restaurant menu. |
Offer-only: kitchen-example.invalid. Leaves room for a broader cooking brand. Needs an offer; its price is not known. It is not a priced match within the budget.
Naming opinions are judgments, not catalog facts or trademark checks. For real results, your assistant includes the returned page links and can call get_purchase_options to compare payments. Alternatives come only from our published inventory; this does not check whether the reference name is registered or for sale elsewhere.

Four read-only tools
Use a client that supports remote HTTP MCP servers. The service supports protocol versions 2026-07-28, 2025-11-25 and 2025-06-18, returns JSON responses, and does not keep sessions.
search_domains- Describe your project or enter keywords in
query. Narrow results withmax_pricein whole USD,tier,tld,max_lengthorlimit(up to 50). get_domain- Give a complete domain
name, including its suffix. ASCII, punycode and Unicode spellings are accepted. Results include the published description and potential uses. Empty fields mean no copy is published or the copy is withheld. get_purchase_options- Give a complete domain
nameto compare the outright price with its standard zero-down lease plans. Results include monthly and final payments, total costs, and extra cost versus buying outright. Other down payments and payment shapes can be reviewed on the domain page. suggest_alternatives- Give a complete reference domain
name, even if it is outside our catalog. Results exclude that name and contain only current published listings. Add a project description inquery, a whole-USDmax_price, or alimitof up to 50. Without a query, the search uses the name’s first label. This does not check registration availability.
Try asking: “Find names for a meal-planning app under $5,000, and show me their Namegarage pages.”
Results include current prices and page links. A null price means the name is offer-only, not free. A name missing from the catalog is not necessarily unregistered or available elsewhere.
You stay in control
These tools cannot buy or reserve a domain, make an offer, send messages, manage accounts or access private portfolio data. Follow a returned link to review the domain and choose your next step. Prices and availability may change.
Search and MCP share a request allowance per IP address, including connection setup. Clients using the same network address share that allowance. If your client receives HTTP 429, pause requests and follow any Retry-After header. If no retry time is provided, use increasing delays before reconnecting. Other busy or unverified-price results include a retry time. When matching by meaning is unavailable, search can still return spelling matches and reports that limitation.
The service keeps aggregate request counts, not search text. Hosting security logs may record request metadata; see our privacy policy. Catalog lookups do not use browser credentials.
