NameIntel
Score brand names across domain availability, USPTO trademark conflict, social handle availability (12+ platforms), SEO strength, and AI findability (GEO) in a single call. Pay-per-call via the x402 micropayment protocol (USDC on Base + Solana) — no signup, no API keys.
README
NameIntel — MCP Server
Clear to launch. Score brand names across domain, trademark, social, SEO, and AI findability — pay-per-call via x402 micropayments, no signup, no API keys.
NameIntel is a remote Model Context Protocol server that scores brand names across five dimensions and returns a composite 0–100 score with sub-scores and a verdict. The scoring engine is also reachable as a REST API. Every endpoint is priced in USDC and settled over the x402 protocol on Base and Solana — there are no API keys to provision, no accounts to sign up for, and no rate-limit setup.
This repository is the public face of the project: install instructions, registry submissions, docs, and discovery manifests. The hosted service runs at nameintel.io.
Quick install
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http nameintel https://mcp.nameintel.io/mcp
Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add → paste https://mcp.nameintel.io/mcp.
That's it. There's no API key. The first time you call a tool the request returns HTTP 402 with the price (between $0.01 and $0.05 USDC depending on the tool); sign the payment with a Base or Solana wallet, retry, and it works. The Coinbase x402 facilitator verifies and settles in under a second.
What it scores
| Dimension | What you get |
|---|---|
| Domain | Availability + pricing across .com, .io, .ai, .app, .co, .dev and other TLDs. Premium and auction detection. |
| Trademark | USPTO conflict screening. Exact matches, similar marks, Nice class analysis, risk level. |
| Social | Handle availability across 12+ platforms (X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub, Threads, more). |
| SEO | Keyword strength, search-friendliness, and competition risk. |
| GEO | Industry-first. AI findability — how likely the name surfaces correctly in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Entity collision, semantic distinctiveness, corpus saturation, phonetic clarity. |
Tools
| Tool | Endpoint | Price |
|---|---|---|
score_name |
POST /api/v1/score |
$0.05 USDC |
| Basic name score (no GEO) | POST /api/v1/score/basic |
$0.02 USDC |
check_domain |
POST /api/v1/check/domain |
$0.01 USDC |
check_trademark |
POST /api/v1/check/trademark |
$0.01 USDC |
check_social |
POST /api/v1/check/social |
$0.01 USDC |
check_geo |
POST /api/v1/check/geo |
$0.03 USDC |
REST API
If MCP isn't your fit, the same scoring engine is exposed as a REST API at https://api.nameintel.io. The OpenAPI 3.1 spec is served live at /openapi.json and any framework that auto-imports OpenAPI (LangChain, Mastra, Vercel AI SDK) will wire up tool wrappers from it.
# Calling /api/v1/score without payment returns a 402 with the full menu:
curl -X POST https://api.nameintel.io/api/v1/score \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "Lumina"}'
# → HTTP 402, body is a JSON price menu + payment manifest link
Machine-readable manifests
Every important surface is self-describing. Agents and discovery tools should prefer these over scraping prose.
- /.well-known/mcp.json — MCP server URL, tool inventory, prices
- /.well-known/x402 — payment manifest (chains, receivers, facilitators)
- /openapi.json — OpenAPI 3.1 spec for the REST API
- /changelog.json — version + breaking-change tracking
- /health — liveness plus full capability inventory
- llms.txt — LLM-readable summary with embedded YAML manifest
Why this exists
When an AI agent helps a founder start a company, the first thing it needs is a clear-to-launch brand name. Today there is no agent-native tool for this — every existing naming tool requires a human in the loop, an API key, or a subscription. NameIntel is the tool that agent calls: one endpoint, USDC settlement, no friction.
The pricing also makes new use cases viable. A $0.01 trademark check or $0.05 brand-name score can't profitably exist on card rails — Stripe's smallest economically-viable transaction is around $0.50 net of fees. USDC on Base settles those amounts with sub-cent fees and sub-second finality, which is the difference between a market that exists and one that does not.
