## What it does

This integration lets your coding agent inspect handles, web domains, and existing trademark registrations. It queries registries across TLDs and profiles on networks like GitHub or Bluesky. On top of standard lookups, it reads TON ledger data for past Telegram handle sales and measures Roblox name rarity.

Standard checks function without credentials. Advanced actions like automated generation, trademark clearance, and continuous monitoring need an API token in `NAMESNIPER_API_KEY`. Tracking usernames on Instagram, TikTok, or X will fail without a paid tier.

You can mount the server via remote HTTP at `https://namesniper.pro/mcp` or through the local bridge `npx -y namesniper-mcp`. Running the binary locally requires Node.js 22 or newer.

- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
