You know that moment when you realize you’d rather describe what you want than spend weeks building it? We get it—which is why we rebuilt our API with native AI agent support.
Traditional domain integrations can be a pain. You need payment flows, DNS configuration, renewal management, support processes—all built from scratch. What should take hours stretches into weeks.
With the new name.com API, AI agents can handle domain operations directly through Model Context Protocol (MCP). Tell an AI agent “add domain registration to my app” and get working code. Or build directly using our OpenAPI-compliant endpoints. Either way, you’re shipping features instead of debugging infrastructure.
From Idea to Working Code in Minutes
We’ve eliminated the traditional barriers between having a domain idea and building it into production-ready features. The name.com API allows AI agents like Claude to interact directly with domain operations through plain, written prompts.
The Old Way: You want to build a domain storefront. You write custom registration logic, handle payment processing, manage DNS records, build renewal workflows, and wade through outdated API documentation.
With Our AI-Native API: Tell an AI agent: “Add domain registration to my app” and get working code that understands your context, manages the API calls, and builds the features you need. If you prefer to code directly, OpenAPI spec provides clear documentation and seamless integration with modern development tools.
Who this helps:
- Developers can handle complex domain workflows through simple instructions
- Solopreneurs can instruct an AI agent to brainstorm and register domains with business context
- Startups can quickly prototype and deploy domain storefronts with name.com as the backend
- Enterprises can automate management for thousands of domains in their name.com portfolio

(We’re calling this new version CORE. Our legacy v4 API remains fully supported, with a migration guide available.)
Build Cool Stuff Instead of Debugging Code
With AI agents handling the complexity, you can focus on building domain features that were previously too complex or time-consuming:
Domain Marketplaces & Storefronts
- Build a domain marketplace with search, pricing, and checkout in hours not months
- Add domain registration to your SaaS onboarding flow
- Create white-label domain services for your clients
Development & Agency Tools
- Auto-provision domains for new client projects
- Build staging/production domain workflows into your deployment pipeline
- Create domain management dashboards for client portfolios
- Integrate domain setup into website builders or hosting platforms
Portfolio & Investment Tools
- Build domain portfolio analytics and valuation tools
- Create automated domain acquisition recommendations
- Launch domain investment tracking applications
- Build tools for bulk domain management and renewal optimization
These aren’t just technical wins—they’re features that can become new revenue streams, eliminate manual work, and give you a real competitive edge.
