# DomainDetails MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive domain research tools including RDAP, WHOIS, and DNS lookup capabilities.

## Features

- **RDAP First**: Uses modern RDAP protocol for structured domain data
- **WHOIS Fallback**: Automatically falls back to WHOIS when RDAP fails
- **Registry Detection**: Automatically detects the correct RDAP/WHOIS server for any TLD
- **Comprehensive Coverage**: Supports 50+ TLDs including gTLDs and ccTLDs
- **Easy Integration**: Works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, IDEs, etc.)

## Installation

```bash
npm install domaindetails-mcp
```

Or use directly with npx:

```bash
npx domaindetails-mcp
```

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"domaindetails": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "domaindetails-mcp"]
}
}
}
```

### Claude Code

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:

```bash
claude mcp add domaindetails -- npx -y domaindetails-mcp
```

Or manually add to `~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

## Available Tools

### `domain_lookup`

Look up comprehensive domain information using RDAP protocol with WHOIS fallback.

**Parameters:**
- `domain` (string, required): The domain name to look up (e.g., example.com)
- `prefer_whois` (boolean, optional): If true, use WHOIS instead of RDAP as primary method
- `include_raw` (boolean, optional): If true, include raw protocol response data

**Example Response:**
```json
{
"domain": "example.com",
"found": true,
"method": "rdap",
"timestamp": "2025-01-21T10:30:00Z",
"status": ["client transfer prohibited"],
"nameservers": ["ns1.example.com", "ns2.example.com"],
"rdap": {
"registration_date": "1995-08-14T04:00:00Z",
"expiration_date": "2025-08-13T04:00:00Z",
"contacts": [...],
"dnssec": {...}
}
}
```

## Supported TLDs

The server includes built-in registry detection for 50+ TLDs:

**Generic TLDs**: com, net, org, info, biz, name, pro, xyz, top, site, online, tech, store, app, dev, io, ai, co, me, tv, cc
