PendingDelete.net MCP server

Search the domain names about to drop, and the ones dropped recently, from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any app that speaks the Model Context Protocol.

What it does

PendingDelete.net lists the domain names in pending delete (the last five days before a registry deletes a name and anyone can register it) across every extension it tracks, with each name's drop time, registrar, age and link figures. The MCP server puts those lists inside your AI assistant, with two tools.

Both tools only read: nothing is registered, bought or changed.

An answer gives how many names match, a table of the names on that page, each linked to its page on PendingDelete.net, a link to the same search on the site, and a CSV of the whole list. Apps that read structured content get the same answer as JSON under an output schema.

Connect

Claude

On the web or in the desktop app: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it PendingDelete.net, paste https://mcp.pendingdelete.net/mcp, and choose no sign-in. Turn it on for a chat from the + menu under Connectors. On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner adds it for the organization first.

ChatGPT

In developer mode, on the plans that have it: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode, then Create app with the server URL and no authentication. In a chat, pick it from the + menu.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http pendingdelete https://mcp.pendingdelete.net/mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{  "mcpServers": {    "pendingdelete": { "url": "https://mcp.pendingdelete.net/mcp" }  }}

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json:

{  "servers": {    "pendingdelete": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.pendingdelete.net/mcp" }  }}

Apps that only run local servers

Bridge it with mcp-remote:

{  "mcpServers": {    "pendingdelete": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.pendingdelete.net/mcp"]    }  }}

Ask it

• Which .com names drop tomorrow that are real words of eight letters or fewer?
• Find available .com names released this week with at least 10 linking domains.
• Find pending delete .com names first registered before 2005 with at least 10 linking domains, best Rank first.
• Show the .com names dropping today whose .net and .org are both registered.
• Two-syllable .com names ending in "host", no hyphens or numbers.
• When does example.com drop, and is that time confirmed?

What the figures mean

• Drop time: when the registry is due to delete the name, in US Eastern time and UTC. It is confirmed when worked out from the registry's own record of when the name entered pending delete, and estimated otherwise. .com and .net drop in Verisign's daily batch; most other registries release each name at its own time (drop times).
• Linking Domains: how many other domains link to the name in Common Crawl's web graph.
• Rank: the name's place among every domain in that graph, by Common Crawl's harmonic-centrality ranking, as a score from 0 to 10 on a log scale: 10 × (1 − ln(place) ÷ ln(domains in the graph)). The best-connected domain is 10; place 1,000 of about 130 million is 6.3, place 1,000,000 is 2.6.
• Linking Domains and Rank are not Moz DA, Ahrefs DR or Open PageRank. A name nobody links to has neither figure.

Where the names come from

Names that left their zone file and that each registry's own answer (RDAP) puts in redemption or pending delete. A name that is simply registered is never listed, and nameservers are never given.

Limits

Per-minute limits keep the server quick for everyone; the docs page shows the current numbers. Over a limit, the assistant is told to wait a minute and try again.

Privacy and support

Calls are logged to keep the server running well; the privacy policy says what is kept and for how long. Questions or a problem: the contact form.
