About
Namecheap Api Mcp wraps the Namecheap API as an MCP server so assistants can inspect and adjust domain infrastructure from the editor. It deliberately limits tools to read plus reversible DNS and lock changes, excluding spend or irreversible registrar actions. Use it when you are operating live domains and want AI-guided DNS or account lookups without opening the Namecheap UI for every change.
- Namecheap API coverage for domains, DNS, contacts, and locks
- Safe-write model excludes purchases, renewals, and irreversible actions
- npm-distributed MCP server with API user, key, and IP whitelist env
- SSL listing and pricing visibility without spending tools
