Why this level
- Lookups disclose candidate domain names to external services; local configuration stores presets and preferences.

What it does
tldx builds domains from keywords, prefixes, suffixes and selected extensions. An agent can preview the exact candidate list without network calls, then check an approved selection. Results support text, JSON, CSV and keyword or extension groupings. Known names can be checked directly. The bundled MCP server distinguishes available, taken and unknown results and explains partial responses. Optional sale-record lookup finds registered domains whose owners advertise them for sale.
Who it is for. Project founders exploring names with an agent and checking domain alternatives before registration.
Good fit when
- A product name needs comparison across several domain extensions.
- An agent proposes short prefixes or suffixes for a keyword.
- Before a large search, the user wants to see the candidate count.
- The shortlist should include registered names explicitly advertised for sale.
Not a fit when
- You need automatic domain purchase or renewal.
- Availability results must establish trademark clearance.
- Unknown responses may be treated as available domains.
Example request
Generate domain options for the service in three chosen extensions, preview them offline, then check the approved names.Limitations
Availability reflects an external response at lookup time and does not reserve the domain. In MCP results, unknown status means the lookup failed and must not be treated as available. The MCP server resolves at most 1,000 names per call and stops collecting after 45 seconds, so large searches may return partial results. Sale information requires an owner-published record and does not itself confirm the price or terms of a later transaction.
How to disable. Stop tldx or remove its MCP client connection. The CLI performs no registrations or payments, so a lookup creates no purchase to cancel.
FAQ
Can I preview names without network lookups?
Yes. Use `--dry-run`.
How do I show available names only?
Use `--only-available`; unknown results must not be treated as available.
What does unknown MCP status mean?
The lookup did not produce a reliable answer. Retry or verify the name separately.
Why is a response partial?
MCP time and domain-count limits apply; the response marks truncation and explains why.
Can I reuse a preferred group of extensions?
Yes. Built-in and custom extension presets are supported.
