How to buy a domain from Claude Code (CLI)

Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI agent) supports plugins — bundled SKILLs, slash commands, and MCP servers a user installs in one command. The namemyapp plugin gives Claude Code three slash commands (/check-domain, /name-app, /buy-domain), a SKILL that auto-triggers on naming/branding prompts, and the @namemyapp/mcp server with all 12 tools (in authed mode). Public mode works with no API key — buy_link is always available.

Step-by-step

1. STEP 1

   Install the plugin

   From inside any Claude Code session:

   /plugin install namemyapp

2. STEP 2

   (Optional) Set an API key for the full surface

   Public mode (no key) gives you the buy_link tool and the /buy-domain command. With NAMEMYAPP_API_KEY set, /name-app calls AI name generation and /check-domain does live multi-registrar checks.

   export NAMEMYAPP_API_KEY=nma_live_...   # https://namemy.app/app/api-keys

3. STEP 3

   Use a slash command

   Three commands ship with the plugin: /check-domain <domain>, /name-app <description>, /buy-domain <domain>. Or just describe what you're naming — the SKILL triggers automatically on phrases like 'name my app', 'find a domain for', 'is X.com available'.

4. STEP 4

   Click a buy URL

   Every result includes a clickable buyUrl with ?source=claude-code attribution. Clicking opens namemy.app's checkout pre-filled with the domain — sign up and pay in your browser.

What the agent will say back

I generated 8 candidates and checked .com / .ai / .dev for each. Available right now:

| Name | Domain | Available | Price | Buy URL |
|------|--------|-----------|-------|---------|
| stackcraft | stackcraft.dev | ✓ | $14.80 | https://namemy.app/checkout?domain=stackcraft.dev&source=claude-code |
| workerly | workerly.ai | ✓ | $13.20 | https://namemy.app/checkout?domain=workerly.ai&source=claude-code |
| edgegen | edgegen.com | ✓ | $11.87 | https://namemy.app/checkout?domain=edgegen.com&source=claude-code |

Click any of the available links to register on namemy.app — sign-up + payment in one flow.

FAQ

What does the SKILL actually do?

It tells Claude when to use the MCP tools (vs answering directly) and how to format the output as a markdown table with clickable URLs. Triggers on naming/domain prompts. You can disable it any time with /plugin disable namemyapp.

Do I need to install the MCP server separately?

No — the plugin bundles it. /plugin install namemyapp wires the SKILL, the commands, and the MCP server all in one step.

Can I customize the slash commands?

Yes — they're plain markdown files in the plugin directory. Override locally by copying the plugin into ~/.claude/plugins/namemyapp/ and editing the commands/*.md files.

Will Claude Code execute the buy itself?

No. Claude Code prints the URL, you open it, namemy.app handles checkout in your browser. This is intentional — your card never touches the AI session.
