About Whois MCP

Whois MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Roo Code to perform WHOIS lookups directly. It provides four tools: whois_domain (for domain names), whois_tld (for top-level domains), whois_ip (for IP addresses), and whois_as (for Autonomous System Numbers). Users can ask AI agents to check domain availability, find registrant details, registration and expiry dates, name servers, and domain status without leaving their development environment. The server is free, open source (MIT license), and can be run instantly via npx.

Key Features
