This MCP server provides integration with the Namecheap API for domain management operations, enabling you to retrieve your domain list, check domain availability, and set custom DNS for your domains from an MCP client.

How to use

Connect using your MCP client to the Namecheap MCP server and use the available tools to manage domains. The server exposes functions to get the domain list, check availability for one or more domains, and configure custom DNS for specific domains. You control which tools are enabled via environment variables, and you can run the local MCP instance with your Namecheap credentials set in the environment.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your machine.

Clone the project, install dependencies, and build the TypeScript project.

git clone <repository-url>
cd mcp-namecheap
npm install
npm run build

Run the MCP server locally using the built dist entry and your Namecheap credentials set in the environment. A typical run command uses the built index file as the entry point.

NAMECHEAP_API_USER=your_api_username 
NAMECHEAP_API_KEY=your_api_key 
NAMECHEAP_USERNAME=your_namecheap_username 
NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP=your_whitelisted_ip_address 
NAMECHEAP_SANDBOX=true npm start
