Whois MCP

Model Context Protocol server for whois lookups.

This MCP server enables AI agents like Claude Desktop and Cursor to perform WHOIS lookups, retrieving domain details without manual browser searches. It allows querying domain availability, ownership, registration dates, and other details directly through AI interactions.

Overview

A WHOIS lookup retrieves registration details about domain names, IP addresses, or autonomous systems, providing information such as: domain name, registrar, registrant details, registration and expiry dates, name servers, domain status, and contact information.

Available Tools

The server provides tools like whois_domain for domain lookups, whois_tld for Top Level Domain information, whois_ip for IP lookups, and whois_as for Autonomous System Number lookups.

Usage

For Cursor IDE, the server can be installed globally or project-specific using npx -y @bharathvaj/whois-mcp@latest. Configuration involves adding a new MCP server in Cursor settings. Similarly, Roo Code can be configured via the "Edit MCP Settings" option.

Development

The development section details how to install dependencies using pnpm install and build the project using pnpm build. Debugging can be done using the MCP Inspector.
