Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that scores brand names across domain, trademark, social, SEO and AI findability, returning a composite 0–100 verdict.

What you can do
Score a name across five dimensions and get a composite 0–100 score with sub-scores and a verdict, or a basic score without the AI findability part. Check domain availability and pricing across multiple TLDs, including premium and auction detection. Screen USPTO trademarks for exact and similar marks, risk level and Nice classes. Check social handle availability across 12 platforms. Evaluate AI findability (GEO) by entity collision, semantic distinctiveness, corpus saturation and phonetic clarity.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant helps a founder or team pick a product, company or project name and needs quick evidence on domains, trademarks, handles and search or AI visibility before committing to a name.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no account or API key. Calls are priced per request in USDC and settled over the x402 protocol, so a Base or Solana wallet able to sign payments is needed once enforcement is on. Network access to the hosted service.
Before you install
Each tool call is a paid micropayment (roughly $0.01–$0.05 USDC) that must be signed with a crypto wallet; the README says payments are currently bypassed but will be enforced later. The service sends the submitted name to third parties such as the USPTO and a payment facilitator. Results are screening signals, not legal trademark advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open NameIntel in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.nameintel%2Fserver/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

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:

bash
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

DimensionWhat you get

TrademarkUSPTO conflict screening. Exact matches, similar marks, Nice class analysis, risk level.
SocialHandle availability across 12+ platforms (X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub, Threads, more).
SEOKeyword strength, search-friendliness, and competition risk.
GEOIndustry-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.

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.

bash
# 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.

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.
