Claude Web
This guide details how to add Instant Domain Search's MCP to Claude's web-based chat.
Requirements
While Instant Domain Search's MCP is free, you'll need access to Claude Pro or Claude Team to use Claude's custom connectors.
How It Works
The Instant Domain Search MCP connects Claude directly to our real-time domain APIs, the same infrastructure that powers instantdomainsearch.com.
The MCP exposes three powerful tools to Claude:
-
search_domains -Check bulk availability across multiple TLDs instantly
-
generate_domain_variations - Get intelligent alternatives with pronounceable prefixes, suffixes, and semantic variations
-
check_domain_availability - Verify any list of domains with definitive yes/no answers from authoritative sources
Setup Guide
Setting up the Instant Domain Search MCP takes less than two minutes:
Step 1: Open Claude Settings
Navigate to your Claude settings at claude.ai/settings/profile
Step 2: Access Connectors
Click on "Connectors" in the left sidebar or go directly to claude.ai/settings/connectors

Step 3: Add Custom Connector
Click the "Add custom connector" button
Fill in the following details:
-
Name: Instant Domain Search (or your preferred name)
-
Leave "Advanced settings" as default (no API key needed!)
Click "Add" to confirm. You can now go into a normal chat to prompt the MCP.
Step 4: Start Using It
To start using the MCP, you’ll need to first prompt Instant Domain Search in the chat. This is as simple as asking:
"Help me find a domain name for my Brooklyn matcha cafe"
Before it queries Instant Domain Search, it will ask for permission. We recommend clicking “Allow always”.

After you allow the permissions, it will start using the MCP connection directly in the chat.

Privacy & Security
Your searches through the MCP are private and secure:
-
We query authoritative registries directly (Verisign, PIR, etc.)
-
Your domain history never gets shared with retail registrars; only when you click referral links to purchase
-
No risk of domain front-running or price manipulation
-
No API keys or authentication required

Next Steps

-
"Check if myawesomeidea.com is available"
-
"Generate variations of 'techstartup' that are available"
The Instant Domain Search MCP transforms Claude into your intelligent domain research assistant, no browser tabs required.
