1. Connect once
Add the Name Brewery MCP server to your AI client — Claude, ChatGPT (Plus/Pro/Team),
Cursor, or Claude Code. It takes about a minute and you only do it once.
See the setup guide →
2. Ask for names
Tell your AI what you're naming and your criteria — short, brandable, .com only, playful,
whatever matters. For example:
Brainstorm 15 names for my coffee-gear shop and check which are available.
3. Your AI checks them live
Behind the scenes it calls the checking tool and gets back availability, prices,
archive.org history, social handle links, and buy links for every name — then reads that
data and explains what's worth your attention.
4. Refine in conversation
Not quite right? Just say so — “go shorter,” “try .io and .ai too,” “skip ones that were a
website before,” “more playful.” Your AI brews and re-checks a fresh batch each time. Keep
going until you find the one.
5. Save it and register
Ask your AI to save favorites to your account, and use the buy link to register at the
registrar of your choice. We don't sell domains or mark anything up.
The same fields appear in the on-site table and in the structured data your AI reads:
- Availability
- Available to register, Premium (taken but listed for sale on the aftermarket), or Taken.
- Price
- A registrar from-price for available .coms, or the listed aftermarket price for premium
names. Premium pricing is set per domain — the registrar shows it when you search.
- History
- A link to the domain's archive.org record, so you can judge its past for yourself.
- Socials & trademark
- Pre-formed links to check the handle on X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and GitHub, plus a
USPTO trademark search link. Trademarks are a separate check and this is not legal advice.
- Buy
- A link to register the name. Buy links may earn Name Brewery a commission, at no extra
cost to you.
- What is Name Brewery?
- Name Brewery gives your AI a domain-checking tool. You brainstorm names with Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor like normal, and your AI checks each idea against reality — availability, aftermarket prices, archive.org history, social handle links, and where to buy — without leaving the conversation. There is also a generator on this site that runs the same checks, as a quick way to see what your AI receives.
- How do I use it with my AI?
- Connect the Name Brewery MCP server once (Claude, ChatGPT Plus/Pro/Team, Cursor, or Claude Code), then just ask: “Brainstorm names for my coffee-gear shop and check which are available.” Your AI calls the checking tool, reads the results, and you refine back and forth — go shorter, try .io, skip names that were a website before — until you land on the one. Setup takes a minute at namebrewery.com/mcp.
- Is it free?
- Yes to start. Sign up with Google, GitHub, or an emailed code and new accounts include 20 free credits — enough for up to 600 domain checks through the MCP server.
- How does pricing work?
- One credit covers up to 30 domain checks through the MCP server (or a single brew on the site). After the free credits, it is $9 for 100 credits (up to 3,000 checks, never expire) or $19/month for 300 credits/month (up to 9,000 checks, rolls over). Payments are handled by Polar as merchant of record.
- What does my AI get back for each name?
- Availability (available, premium, or taken), price (a registrar from-price for available .coms, or the listed aftermarket price for premium domains), archive.org history, social handle links for the major platforms, a USPTO trademark search link, and a buy link. Your AI reads all of it and can reason over it — comparing, ranking, and explaining trade-offs. We report the lookups; we never judge a name for you.
- Why does it matter if a domain was used before?
- A domain that was a website before can carry baggage. If it was a spam site or a failed company, that can drag down how it ranks in Google and confuse people who remember the old site. We check every available or premium name against the Wayback Machine, so you can see what was there before you commit.
- How is my data handled?
- Your checks and favorites are saved to your account so a naming session is never lost. Sign-in is by Google, GitHub, or a one-time email code. See our Privacy Policy for collection, use, and retention details.
