The way software gets named is changing shape. It used to be: human brainstorms, human checks registrar, human buys. Increasingly it's: human describes the product to an agent, and the agent handles the rest — generation, availability, trademark screening, purchase, DNS — without the human ever opening a registrar tab.
We built for this early. namemyapp runs a remote MCP server at mcp.namemy.app, which means any MCP-capable client — Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, your own agent — can name and equip a project as a tool call.
What an agent can actually do
Once connected, the agent gets the full naming pipeline as tools:
- Generate names from a product description — the same availability-first engine as the website, so every suggestion is buyable at the moment it's suggested.
- Check any domain (single or bulk) with live registry data, not cached guesses.
- Screen for brand conflicts against trademark data before recommending anything.
- Buy the domain — with your authorization — and have WHOIS privacy, DNS, and email forwarding configured in the same operation.
- Set DNS records, so "point it at my Vercel deploy" is one more sentence, not a context-switch into a dashboard.
The full conversation looks like this: "I'm building an agent that reconciles Stripe payouts for accounting teams. Find me a name with a clean .com or .ai, no trademark issues, and set it up." Three minutes later there's a registered domain with working DNS and hello@ forwarding to your inbox.
Why this beats the copy-paste loop
A human alternating between a name generator and a registrar tab performs each availability check manually, serially, and emotionally — by the time you've typed the name into the registrar, you're already attached to it. An agent checks in bulk, before attachment, and treats "taken" as a filter instead of a heartbreak.
The agent also doesn't skip steps when it's tired. Trademark screening happens every time, not just on the names that "feel risky." That discipline matters more than founders think.
Setting it up
For Claude or any MCP client, add the remote server and authenticate:
https://mcp.namemy.app
The server speaks standard MCP with OAuth — agent-facing docs, the OpenAPI spec, and per-client setup guides live on the Agents page. Purchases always require explicit authorization with your saved payment method; agents can browse and check freely but can't spend without you.
The part most people miss
Agent-mediated naming changes what makes a good name. Agents transcribe and cite names in plain text constantly — in summaries, recommendations, commit messages, purchase justifications. Names that survive this are names with no spelling ambiguity: no "Lyft-style" vowel swaps an LLM will autocorrect, no hyphens that get dropped in transcription, no homophone collisions with a bigger brand the model knows better than yours.
The old test was "does it survive being said at a noisy meetup." The new test is "does it survive being summarized by a model." Short, real-morpheme, unambiguous names pass both.
If you're building an agent product yourself, the same logic applies to your users: they'll increasingly arrive via an agent's recommendation, not a Google search. Being the easiest product to name correctly in a model's output is a small, free distribution edge. (Agent-readable docs and a clean llms.txt help too — but that's another post.)
Name your next project without leaving your editor. The agent already knows how.
