domain-search-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

domain-search-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from dorukardahan/domain-search-mcp. It costs 1,129 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a domain-search MCP server that checks whether website names are available through registrars and fallback sources. An MCP server lets an AI agent call these search tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, or maintaining this TypeScript server, including its build, start, test, and coverage commands.
Why use it?
It explains how the server is built and how requests flow from tool definitions through the search service to registrar, pricing, RDAP, or WHOIS sources.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

domain-search-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Architecture Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for domain availability searches. It aggregates data from multiple registrars and fallback sources.

Core Flow

server.ts (MCP Server)
    ↓
tools/*.ts (Tool definitions + executors)
    ↓
services/domain-search.ts (Orchestration layer)
    ↓
registrars/*.ts (API adapters) → Porkbun, Namecheap
    or
services/pricing-api.ts (Backend for pricing + availability correction)
    or
fallbacks/*.ts (RDAP, WHOIS)

Key Components

Tools (src/tools/): Each MCP tool has three exports:

  • *Tool: Tool definition (name, description, schema)
  • *Schema: Zod validation schema
  • execute*: Execution function

Registrar Adapters (src/registrars/): All extend RegistrarAdapter base class which provides:

  • Token bucket rate limiting
  • Retry with exponential backoff
  • Timeout handling
  • Standardized DomainResult creation

Domain Search Service (src/services/domain-search.ts): Orchestrates source selection:

  1. RDAP (fast, public registry data) - availability check
  2. Pricing API backend (if PRICING_API_BASE_URL set) - pricing + availability correction
  3. Porkbun API (if BYOK keys configured)
  4. Namecheap API (if BYOK keys configured)
  5. WHOIS (last resort fallback)

Important: Backend's Porkbun response overrides RDAP false positives.

Utilities (src/utils/):

  • cache.ts: TTL-based in-memory cache with type-specific TTLs
  • redis-cache.ts: Hybrid Redis + in-memory cache with circuit breaker failover
  • circuit-breaker.ts: Circuit breaker pattern for external service resilience
  • adaptive-concurrency.ts: Dynamic concurrency/batch sizing based on latency
  • metrics.ts: Prometheus-compatible metrics (cache stats, latency histograms)
  • errors.ts: Structured error types with retry hints
  • premium-analyzer.ts: Domain quality scoring and premium detection
  • semantic-engine.ts: AI-powered domain name generation with keyword expansion

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
