What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nameable": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "nameable",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add nameable -- npx -y nameable mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nameable": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "nameable",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "nameable": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "nameable",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Nameable safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.3.0) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Nameable

Is the name really free? Nameable checks every registry, store and domain your project needs.

English · 繁體中文

Nameable checks a name on package registries, GitHub, agent and editor directories, app stores and domains, shows the evidence behind every answer, and says how sure each answer is. It runs as a CLI, as an MCP server for AI agents, and as a Claude Code plugin that also looks for prior art and recommends which name to keep.

Why

Most availability checks ask each registry whether the name exists and read "not found" as free. Not found only means nobody holds that exact name. The registry may still refuse it:

Name	Registry	Not found?	What the registry does
`f1ask`	PyPI	yes	Refuses it: too similar to `flask`
`first-one`	npm	yes	Refuses it: same as `firstone` without punctuation
`golang`	Homebrew	yes	Already taken: an alias of `go`
`rust`	crates.io	yes	Refuses it: reserved by crates.io
`gh`	crates.io	yes	Refuses it until 2027: the crate was deleted recently
`providers`	pub.dev	yes	Refuses it: the plural of `provider`
`rbconfig`	RubyGems	yes	Refuses it: reserved by RubyGems.org
`Coinbase.Core`	NuGet	yes	Refuses it: deleted by NuGet, the ID still held
`postgres`	Docker Hub	yes	Already taken: an official image
`xn--ls8h.dev`	domains	yes	Cannot be registered: it is an emoji in punycode

Nameable applies each registry's own rules, taken from its source code, and checks the lists those rules need: similar and reserved names, aliases and old names, recently deleted names, unpublished packages. When a rule cannot be checked, the answer says "probably" and why, instead of "available". A failed request is unknown, never free.

Use it from the terminal

Requires Node.js 22 or later. Run it in your project (or any folder under it, up to the repository root) and it checks the channels the project ships on, picked from its files:

package.json for npm (unless it has no name, is private, or is a server or site: it starts, serves or deploys itself and declares nothing to publish), Homebrew when it has a bin; with engines.vscode, VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX instead of npm
pyproject.toml, setup.py or setup.cfg that describe a package for PyPI, Homebrew when they declare scripts
Cargo.toml for crates.io (unless publish = false), Homebrew when it builds a binary
a .gemspec for RubyGems, composer.json for Packagist (unless it is a project), pubspec.yaml for pub.dev (unless publish_to: none), a .NET project or solution for NuGet (unless it builds a web app, a function, an executable or tests, or is not packable), a Dockerfile for Docker Hub, a Package.swift with an executable for Homebrew
.claude-plugin/, .cursor-plugin/ and gemini-extension.json for those directories, a plugin.xml or the IntelliJ Gradle plugin for JetBrains Marketplace, an MCP SDK dependency for the MCP Registry and Smithery
an Xcode project for the App Store, an Android app for Google Play, and an Expo or Flutter app for both
at an npm, pnpm, Yarn, Lerna or Cargo workspace root, the channels of each member, read the same way

GitHub accounts and repositories and domains are always checked; a project that ships on none of these, such as a Rails app or a Go library, gets only those (and Homebrew for a Go command). Outside a project it checks a general set: npm, PyPI, crates.io, Homebrew, GitHub and domains.

Option
`--all`	Check every channel
`--only`	Channels to check: `npm`, `pypi`, `crates`, `homebrew`, `rubygems`, `packagist`, `pub`, `nuget`, `docker`, `github`, `github-repo`, `mcp-registry`, `smithery`, `claude-plugins`, `cursor`, `gemini`, `vscode`, `open-vsx`, `jetbrains`, `app-store`, `google-play`, `trademark-tw`, `domain` (every TLD in `--tlds`) or `domain:`
`--tlds`	Domains to check, any TLD, at most 20 (default `com,dev`). TLDs without RDAP, such as `.io`, `.sh` and `.de`, go through whois. With `--only`, include `domain`
`--json`	Print JSON; also the default when the output is not a terminal
`--refresh`	Download the registry name lists again
`--clear-cache`	Delete the cached name lists

GitHub checks use GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN or gh auth token when one is available, for a higher rate limit.

Use it with AI agents

Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add minanyang/claude-plugins

/plugin install nameable@minanyang

Then ask for a name, or run /nameable:check . The skill picks the channels that matter for your project, checks them, looks for projects that already do the same thing, and gives a verdict for each candidate: use it, use it with changes (a scope, another TLD, another GitHub owner), or drop it.

The plugin carries its own copy of the CLI and runs it with Node.js 22 or later. When it installs, Claude Code adds the CLI's two dependencies, zod and @modelcontextprotocol/server, from the npm lockfile in the plugin.

MCP server

npx -y nameable mcp runs the same checks as an MCP server over stdio. It has one read-only tool, check_names (names, and optionally channels, tlds and refresh), which returns the JSON below as structured content. It is listed on the official MCP Registry as io.github.minanyang/nameable.
