Lets your AI assistant check if a domain name is free, show its price, and suggest names to register at GoDaddy.

This is GoDaddy's own server. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants check whether domain names are available, show first-year and renewal prices, and suggest new names from a few keywords. There is no sign-in and nothing to install. It only looks things up: to buy a name you follow the link in the result to godaddy.com, and it cannot touch your DNS or your account.

Good for

Founders naming a new business or product who want to check names in the chat
Developers who want Claude Code or Cursor to check a domain while setting up a project
Marketers brainstorming campaign or brand domains with prices side by side
Anyone comparing .com, .io, .ai and other endings for the same name

Questions

What is the GoDaddy MCP server URL?

https://mcp.godaddy.com, with nothing after it. GoDaddy notes that adding /mcp to the end returns a 404.

Is the GoDaddy MCP server free?

Yes. It needs no account and costs nothing; you pay only if you buy a domain on godaddy.com. GoDaddy says usage limits apply.

Do I need a GoDaddy account or API key?

No. The tools use public domain data, so there is no sign-in.

Can it buy or register a domain for me?

No. Each available name comes with a GoDaddy link that adds it to a cart, and you finish the purchase on godaddy.com.

Can it change my DNS records?

No. For buying domains or managing DNS from a coding agent, GoDaddy points to its gddy agent skill, which uses your own credentials. The community godaddy-dns-mcp server also edits DNS with your API key.

How many domains can it check at once?

Up to 50 names in one request. Suggestions return 40 ideas by default and up to 100.

Can it show prices in my currency?

Yes. Ask for a currency such as euros, pounds or Canadian dollars; it supports 33. Otherwise it uses your locale's currency, or US dollars.

Is GoDaddy available in ChatGPT?

Yes, as the GoDaddy plugin, which also works in Codex. You can also add the server address as a custom server with no authentication.
