Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the WhoisXML MCP Server?
Connect the WhoisXML API to your AI agent to perform deep network reconnaissance and data validation through natural language.
What you can do
- WHOIS Lookups — Retrieve parsed and raw registration data, including registrar info and creation dates for any domain.
- IP Geolocation — Instantly identify the country, city, ISP, and coordinates of any IP address.
- Email Verification — Validate email syntax, check MX records, and detect disposable addresses to ensure data quality.
- Domain Availability — Perform lightweight checks to see if a domain name is available for registration.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your WhoisXML API Key
- Start querying domain and network data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security Researchers — Quickly investigate suspicious domains or IP addresses during incident response.
- Developers — Integrate domain availability and email validation checks into your workflow without leaving the editor.
- Marketers & Sales — Verify lead lists and research company domain ownership for better outreach.

Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a domain is available for registration?
Yes! Use the check_domain_availability tool. It provides a lightweight check to see if a specific domain name is currently available.
How do I find the physical location of an IP address?
Simply use the get_ip_geolocation tool with the target IP. The agent will return the country, city, latitude, longitude, and ISP information.
Can this tool detect disposable or fake email addresses?
Yes. The verify_email tool checks email syntax, MX records, and SMTP connections, and specifically flags disposable email providers.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
