GoDaddy
by GoDaddy
GoDaddy's MCP server exposes 2 read-only tools with no sign-in: domain name suggestions and bulk availability checks for up to 1000 domains. Both live tool names differ from the directory listing. Verified live 2026-08-18.

Generate domain name suggestions based on keywords, seed domains, or business descriptions. Returns an interactive widget with clickable domain links for clients that support HTML rendering (browsers, web-based AI assistants), with automatic fallback to formatted text for other clients. IMPORTANT: Always display the registration links from the response to the user - each domain has a direct GoDaddy registration URL that must be shown.
Check if domain names are available for registration. Works with single domains or lists of multiple domains. Returns formatted results with availability status and registration options ready for display. IMPORTANT: Always display the registration links from the response to the user - each domain has a direct GoDaddy registration URL that must be shown.

Limits
- It cannot buy, register or change anything. GoDaddy's documentation states the MCP server cannot register domains, modify DNS records, transfer domains, update account settings or make purchases. Both tool annotations agree:
readOnlyHint: true,destructiveHint: false. - Availability and pricing go stale fast. GoDaddy's own limitations section warns that both can change quickly and tells integrators to re-check before sending a user to purchase. Treat any result older than the current turn as provisional.
- No pricing comes back through these tools. Neither schema has a price field and neither description mentions cost. What you get is availability plus a registration link; the price is on GoDaddy's site.
- Public data only. The connector cannot see your GoDaddy account, your existing domains, your DNS zones or your renewals. It does not accept account credentials at all, so there is no configuration that would unlock those.
- Rate limited, with no published figure. GoDaddy's MCP documentation records the limit as enforced per client IP address and says the details are "TBD as service scales". No number is published for the MCP endpoint specifically, so build for HTTP 429 rather than for a known ceiling.
- The bulk parameter is a string, not an array.
domains_check_availabilitytakes one comma-separated string of up to 1000 domains. A client that assumes a JSON array from the plural name will fail validation, which is the same trap the stale singularcheck_domainname sets. - Prompts are declared but empty. There is nothing to invoke today. Recorded here as a limit because "the capability exists" and "there is something in it" are different claims.
- The one resource carries no data. The widget is a rendering shell that fetches its real code from GoDaddy's CDN, and it is inert in a client that does not implement the OpenAI Apps SDK extension. Those clients get the text fallback the tool descriptions describe.
- Need writes? It is a different product. GoDaddy points agents that must purchase or manage DNS at its separate
gddyCLI agent skill, which runs on your machine under your own authenticated credentials. That is not this connector and it is not credential-free.
Frequently asked questions
No. We opened an anonymous handshake against the endpoint on 2026-08-18 and the server returned both tool definitions with no credential. We then called a read-only tool with empty arguments and got a schema validation error rather than an authentication challenge, which proves the request cleared any gate. GoDaddy's own documentation states the tools use public domain data and do not accept account credentials.
The listing is stale, and here nothing at all matches. Anthropic's directory names two tools and the live server returns two, so the counts agree, but zero of the names overlap. The live names are domains_suggest and domains_check_availability. Anyone who copied check_domain or suggest_domains from the listing is calling a tool that does not exist on this server.
No. GoDaddy's documentation states the MCP server cannot register domains, modify DNS records, transfer domains, update account settings or make purchases. Both tools are annotated readOnlyHint true and destructiveHint false. Registration still happens on godaddy.com. For purchase and DNS management from an agent, GoDaddy points to its separate gddy CLI agent skill instead.
Up to 1000 per request. The domains_check_availability schema describes a single comma-separated string rather than an array, and the tool routes automatically to an exact search for one domain or a bulk search for two or more. Each entry must include its TLD extension. The companion suggestion tool is capped separately at 100 results, defaulting to 40.
No, but the distinction matters. The server declares a prompts capability during initialize and then answers prompts/list with an empty array, which is not the same as not offering prompts at all. There is nothing to invoke today, yet the capability is wired, so prompts could appear without a protocol change. Anthropic's directory also records zero prompt names.
A rendering widget, not data. The server declares a resources capability and resources/list returns exactly one entry, Domain Search Results, at ui://widget/domains-search.html with MIME type text/html+skybridge. We read it on 2026-08-18: a short HTML shell that loads a bundled stylesheet and script from GoDaddy's CDN. It contains no domain data itself.
Both are annotated readOnlyHint true, destructiveHint false and openWorldHint false, and GoDaddy's documentation independently records the server as non-destructive and idempotent. Neither tool spends money or changes account state. The one caution is not safety but freshness: GoDaddy warns that availability and pricing change quickly, so re-check before acting on a result.
