If you’ve ever used an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT to brainstorm business ideas, you’ve probably hit this snag:
You come up with a great name… then have to switch tabs to check if the domain is available.
That small interruption breaks the creative flow.
Today, we’re fixing that.
GoDaddy is introducing a new way to search for domain names — right inside AI conversations. Through a new integration with Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), anyone using Claude can now check domain availability in real time, without leaving the chat.
Instantly turn ideas into domains
The line between brainstorming and building is getting thinner. AI tools have become the starting point for entrepreneurs, developers, and creators alike — a digital whiteboard for new ideas. But until now, turning an idea into a real business identity required context-switching across multiple tools.
With GoDaddy’s domain search integration, users can ask natural questions like:
“Is greentech.io available?”
“What about the .com or .ai versions?”
“Find me affordable names for a sustainable coffee brand.”
Claude will respond instantly with live domain availability and pricing powered by GoDaddy’s trusted domain search API, the same technology that processes millions of checks every day. Then, Claude will provide a link for a streamlined purchasing process from GoDaddy.
How we built for reliability and speed
This launch marks GoDaddy’s first external MCP integration, designed to bring our most popular API — domain search — to a new generation of AI-powered platforms.
Our domain search is engineered to be secure and lightning fast.
The integration adheres to Anthropic’s MCP certification standards, including OAuth authentication, observability, and compliance requirements, making this integration both fast and reliable.
Why it matters
- Leading the way: GoDaddy is the first domain registrar available through Claude’s MCP directory.
- Frictionless discovery: Domain searches now happen naturally within conversations — no new tabs or tools required.
- High-intent engagement: We meet entrepreneurs at the exact moment they’re naming their business or launching a project.
- Foundation for growth: This is just the beginning of a full-funnel AI integration, from search → pricing → purchase → manage.
What’s next
This initial rollout focuses on making domain availability effortless during the ideation stage.
Future phases will expand to authenticated services, allowing users to:
- Manage existing domains through natural language.
- Check bulk availability for lists of brainstormed names.
- Get contextual recommendations for hosting, email, and security, all from within AI tools.
- Extend compatibility to other ecosystems like OpenAI, Google, and Perplexity.
GoDaddy’s commitment to AI innovation
This integration, in addition to Airo®, is part of GoDaddy’s broader vision to empower creators and developers wherever they build, whether it’s in a browser, an app, or a conversation with an AI assistant.
We believe naming your business shouldn’t feel like an interruption. It should feel like inspiration.
And now, that inspiration can start — and stay — in one place.
Try it now
The GoDaddy Domain Search tool is now listed in Anthropic’s MCP directory. After enabling the connection with GoDaddy’s Domain Search MCP server from Claude’s Settings > Connectors menu, you will be able to open Claude and simply ask:
“Check if mybandname.com is available.”
No tabs, no typing URLs. Simply a faster path from idea to domain.
