Connect your agent

Developer docs

Everything your agent needs to register and manage domains through AIvikings. Connect by MCP, REST, or the ChatGPT connector. Pick the one that matches how your agent already works.

The registrar runs end to end today in a safe test mode. Live production registration is the final step we are validating now.

Start here

Three ways to connect, same registrar underneath.

  • If your agent speaks MCP (Claude tooling and most modern agent frameworks), use the MCP server. It is the most native option.
  • If you want plain HTTP from any language, use the REST API.
  • If you are in ChatGPT, add the connector and just ask in chat.

What you need: an API key (request one from the waiting list during early access) and an agent or script that can make requests.

MCP server

AIvikings exposes domain operations as native MCP tools, so any MCP-compatible agent can check availability, register, and manage domains as part of a task. No custom integration code, the tools appear in your agent's tool list.

Endpoint

https://mcp.aivikings.ai/mcp

Discovery

AIvikings publishes a small MCP discovery file so clients, directories, and crawlers can find the server endpoint and tool list without scraping this page.

https://aivikings.ai/.well-known/mcp.json

Auth

The MCP server is protected by OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic Client Registration. Capability discovery, including initialize and tools/list, is available without a token. Calling any tool requires a valid bearer access token obtained through the OAuth flow.

Discovery metadata is published at:

https://mcp.aivikings.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
https://api.aivikings.ai/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Authorization server: https://api.aivikings.ai

Scopes: domains:read, domains:write, offline_access

MCP-compatible clients such as the ChatGPT connector, Claude, and the MCP Inspector perform this handshake automatically. You point the client at the MCP endpoint and authorize access when prompted.

Available tools

check_domain_availability
check if one or more domains can be registered, with price
register_domain
register an available domain
get_domain_status
get current status for a domain
list_domains
list domains owned by the account
renew_domain
renew an existing domain
update_nameservers
replace the nameservers for a domain
domain_transfer
transfer a domain in
reconcile_domains
compare local records with the registrar domain list

Early-access TLDs

TLD access is being opened in stages during early access. The examples on this page use .icu as a placeholder. Your API key determines which TLDs are available to your account.

Connecting

Point your MCP client at the endpoint above. The client discovers the OAuth metadata, registers dynamically, obtains a token, and then calls tools with that token. The tools then appear automatically and your agent can call them.

Example MCP request

Most MCP clients handle JSON-RPC for you. For a low-level connectivity check, list the available tools.

curl https://mcp.aivikings.ai/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/list",
    "params": {}
  }'

REST API

A standard HTTPS REST API with API-key auth. Use it from any language.

Base URL

https://api.aivikings.ai/v1

Auth

Pass your API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY

Core endpoints

  • POST /domains/check - check availability and price
  • POST /domains - register a domain
  • GET /domains/{domain} - get current domain status
  • GET /domains - list your domains
  • POST /domains/{domain}/renew - renew
  • PUT /domains/{domain}/nameservers - replace nameservers
  • GET /health - service health and current environment

Example request

curl https://api.aivikings.ai/v1/domains/check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domains":["my-agent-7f3.icu"]}'

Example response

{
  "domains": [
    {
      "domain": "my-agent-7f3.icu",
      "available": true,
      "pricing": { "label": "low-priced", "period": "year" }
    }
  ]
}

Examples shown for illustration during early access. Full API reference ships with production access.

ChatGPT connector

Add AIvikings as a connector in ChatGPT and run domain registration flows by asking in plain language. No code. Useful for non-developers and for quick one-off registrations.

How to use

  1. In ChatGPT, add the AIvikings connector and authorize it with your account.
  2. Ask in chat: "Find and register a domain for my project."
  3. ChatGPT checks availability through AIvikings and runs the registration flow for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the AIvikings MCP endpoint?

The MCP server is at https://mcp.aivikings.ai/mcp. Point any MCP-compatible client at that endpoint. The client discovers OAuth metadata, registers dynamically, obtains a token, and asks you to authorize access before tool calls. Capability discovery is available before authorization.

What MCP tools does AIvikings expose?

Eight tools: check_domain_availability, register_domain, get_domain_status, list_domains, renew_domain, update_nameservers, domain_transfer, and reconcile_domains. They are self-describing with typed parameters, so agents can chain them, for example check, then register, then set nameservers.

How do I authenticate with the AIvikings API?

The REST API uses Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY with an early-access API key. The MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic Client Registration through https://api.aivikings.ai. MCP-compatible clients handle the handshake automatically and request domains:read, domains:write, and offline_access when needed.

What is the REST API base URL?

https://api.aivikings.ai/v1. Core endpoints include POST /domains/check for availability, POST /domains to register, GET /domains/{domain} for status, POST /domains/{domain}/renew, and PUT /domains/{domain}/nameservers. GET /health reports service status.

How do I add AIvikings to ChatGPT?

Add AIvikings as a connector in ChatGPT, authorize it with your account, and then ask in plain language, for example "find and register a domain for my project." ChatGPT checks availability through AIvikings and runs the registration flow conversationally.

How can MCP clients and directories discover the AIvikings server?

AIvikings publishes a discovery file at https://aivikings.ai/.well-known/mcp.json with the server endpoint and tool list, so clients, registries, and crawlers can find the server without scraping the docs page.

Which TLDs can I register during early access?

TLD access opens in stages during early access, and your API key determines which TLDs your account can register. The documentation uses .icu in examples, and long machine-readable names such as nightowl-analytics-data.icu are typical.

Can I test connectivity before registering anything?

Yes. You can list MCP tools with a tools/list request without a token, call GET /health on the REST API, or run check_domain_availability after authenticating. Availability checks do not register anything.

What is an MCP domain registrar?

MCP is the Model Context Protocol, a standard way for AI agents to discover and call external tools. An MCP domain registrar exposes its domain operations as MCP tools, so an agent can register and manage domains by calling those tools directly, the same way it uses any other tool you give it. Instead of a human logging into a dashboard or a developer hand-coding calls against an API, the agent reads the available tools, picks the right one, and acts. AIvikings runs an MCP server at mcp.aivikings.ai that any MCP-compatible agent can connect to, with OAuth 2.1 and dynamic client registration so the connection is set up without a person manually issuing credentials.

Which services let AI agents manage domains through MCP?

A handful of registrars now run MCP servers, and the number is growing as MCP becomes the common way agents call tools. AIvikings is one of them, built so an agent can handle the full lifecycle of a domain over MCP: checking a name, registering it, renewing it, and pointing it at nameservers, with no human step. When comparing options, the things worth checking are whether the MCP server covers every operation your agent needs end to end, whether it uses OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration so agents can authenticate on their own, and whether managed DNS is included so the domain resolves once registered. You can connect to ours at mcp.aivikings.ai.
