Product updates

We build AiVikings in the open. Every month we share what shipped, what we learned, and what is next. Follow along.

September 2026

More ways to pay, more tools for agents, and a team of three in September

September was a pipes-and-wiring month with a few visible wins on top. Crypto payments went live, the MCP server grew from 21 to 31 tools, and a client request turned into a public pricing API within days. We also launched "Vote for a TLD" so clients decide which domain endings we add next, rebuilt our TLD pages around sourced facts, and welcomed Asad as our second developer. Thomas wrote the long version, including what did not get done, in the September building in public post.

What shipped

  • Crypto payments are live, supported by Nicky.me. Top up with Bitcoin, USDT or USDC.
  • MCP server grew from 21 to 31 tools, with most of the new ones covering DNS: list, add, change and delete records.
  • A full testing pass across the MCP server, with several bugs found and fixed.
  • Public pricing API with documentation, so an agent can check what a domain costs before it buys.
  • Read-only API access, so a script or agent can look at your account and domains without being able to change anything.
  • Live chat on the website and in the dashboard, routed to Telegram and answered by a person.
  • Better billing: quick top-ups, more payment methods, automatic currency conversion, and open invoices that are rechecked automatically.
  • Clearer domain checker on the website, with explicit taken and premium status.
  • Domains in pending transfer now sync their status properly, on a schedule and on request.
  • Vote for a TLD: we offer 650 TLDs today, and clients now vote on which ones we add next.
  • Rebuilt TLD pages where every fact points back to an official registry source.
  • WHMCS module page, ChatGPT landing pages, and a portfolio renewal walkthrough.
  • Asad joined as our second developer. We are three now.

What is next

  • The EPP endpoint, carried over from September.
  • Branded invoice PDFs, also carried over.
  • Hugin, our next availability checker, in a state where clients can use it.
  • The audit log: a history of every change made to a domain, and who made it.
  • Getting AiVikings.ai listed in the ChatGPT and Claude directories.
  • More practical examples for developers building agents.
August 2026

The registrar core matured and the site got sharper in August

August was about rounding out the registrar core: smarter pricing, premium domain support, full DNS record management, and cleaner contact and nameserver handling. Billing, the dashboard, and in-app support also got a visible polish pass, and the website picked up new audience pages and better discoverability for agents and automated tools.

What shipped

  • Smarter domain pricing: catalog, rules, premium and fixed TLD pricing, overrides, currency normalization, retries, and fallback logic.
  • Premium domain registration, with explicit confirmation before purchase.
  • Better contact handling: list contacts, assign roles, repair stale links, sync registrant profiles.
  • Default nameserver management for accounts.
  • Our own nameservers are live: ns1-ns4.aivikings.ai, configurable via MCP.
  • Full DNS record management (create, read, update, delete), with easier relative record names.
  • Dashboard refresh with new AiVikings branding, logo, favicon, and styling.
  • Better signup and account flows: clearer email notifications, stronger API-key validation.
  • Stronger operational reliability: logging, MCP health checks, more test coverage.
  • Website: 16 commits, including new audience pages, better CTAs, agent discovery metadata, Google source callouts, and layout polish.

What is next

  • In-app support messaging (Telegram integration).
  • Improved billing and invoicing, e.g. paid-invoice PDF downloads and branded invoice layouts.
  • Crypto payments, supported by Nicky.me.
  • Our WHMCS registrar module is now available in the WHMCS Marketplace.
  • Hardening our API endpoints and expanding with a regular EPP endpoint to support registrars that need that.
July 2026

Registrar operations moved forward in July

July strengthened the operational registrar layer: account funding, domain registration, self-serve API keys, customer dashboard flows, and a broader TLD and pricing layer for agents and humans to inspect.

What shipped

  • Production registration, including real domains registered with standard AiVikings nameservers.
  • Self-serve API keys, billing, accounts, and a full self-service customer dashboard.
  • Expanded TLD coverage with a public price list and separate detail pages for every TLD we offer.
  • Public API reference and SDK groundwork for builders integrating REST and MCP flows.
  • Rate limiting and abuse protection for safer public access.
  • A comprehensive ambassador program with dedicated site and legal pages.

What is next

  • Improve onboarding, account funding, and production registration workflows through August.
  • Polish onboarding, billing flows, API-key setup, and dashboard workflows for broader customer use.
  • Keep expanding examples, SDK coverage, and operational hardening around production registrations.
June 2026

The first AiVikings build is live

The first AiVikings build proved the agent flow: an AI agent could run the check, register, nameserver, and confirm flow through us by API, by MCP, or straight from ChatGPT. We also shipped the first public site and product updates.

What shipped

  • Agent-native registrar service running live over HTTPS with production registrations, billing, account top-up, API keys, and dashboard access.
  • REST API for checking availability, running registration flows, renewals, and nameserver management, with API-key auth.
  • MCP server exposing the same operations as native tools for MCP agents.
  • ChatGPT connector, so you can run the registration flow by asking in chat.
  • An autonomous demo agent that takes a plain-English goal and runs the full flow with no human in the loop.
  • This site, product updates, and public documentation.

What is next

  • Closing the loop on full production registration.
  • Self-serve API keys so you do not have to wait.
