Overview

Domain Details provides quick access to WHOIS and RDAP data for any domain and scans current marketplace listings. It uses free endpoints with no authentication, returning registrar, created and expiry dates, nameservers, DNSSEC status, and contact information. It also aggregates listings from major marketplaces to help assess domain value.

How This Skill Works

Send a curl request to the lookup endpoint with the domain to retrieve registrar, creation and expiry dates, nameservers, DNSSEC and contacts. Then query the marketplace search endpoint to fetch current listings from Sedo, Afternic, Atom, Dynadot, Namecheap, NameSilo and Unstoppable Domains. The service enforces a rate limit of 100 requests per minute with no authentication.

When to Use It

• You need authoritative registrar and DNS details for a domain you plan to buy or sell.
• You want to compare active marketplace listings for a specific domain.
• You're auditing brand assets and want to confirm domain ownership data.
• You are preparing an acquisition or investment report with expiry dates and contacts.
• You want to prototype quickly in a shell or with npx for quick checks.

Quick Start

1. Step 1: curl -s https://mcp.domaindetails.com/lookup/example.com | jq
2. Step 2: curl -s "https://api.domaindetails.com/api/marketplace/search?domain=example.com" | jq
3. Step 3: npx domaindetails example.com

Best Practices

• Run the lookup first to verify ownership data before chasing offers.
• Check DNSSEC status and nameservers for stability and transfer risk.
• Cross-check marketplace listings across Sedo, Afternic and others for consistency.
• Respect the 100 requests per minute limit to avoid throttling.
• Use the CLI option to prototype quickly in a shell or script.

Example Use Cases

• Lookup example.com to see registrar and dates, then review marketplace listings for price guidance.
• Search marketplace listings for a domain to gauge market interest and potential value.
• Use npx domaindetails example.com in a development shell to test a portfolio tool.
• Combine lookup results with marketplace data to craft a concise domain risk and value report.
• Batch check multiple domains via curl calls in a lightweight script for portfolio monitoring.
