What is the CanYouGrab.It MCP server?

Confidence-scored domain availability checking for AI agents via CanYouGrab.it. Exposed over MCP by the canyougrab.it mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Domain availability lookup API with subscription billing, built on FastAPI + DNS (Unbound resolver).

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • APIhttps://api.canyougrab.it
  • Authhttps://auth.canyougrab.it (Auth0 custom domain)
  • Format — Authorization: Bearer cyg_
  • Soft — delete on revocation (revoked_at timestamp, not physically deleted)
  • Method — Path
  • POST — /api/check/bulk
  • GET — /api/account/usage
  • DELETE — /api/keys/{id}
  • Servers — The Servers tool exposed by this server
  • Backend — The Backend tool exposed by this server
  • Portal — The Portal tool exposed by this server

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration

You will need 8 environment variables: DEPLOY_HOST, DEPLOY_SSH_KEY, DEV_DEPLOY_HOST, POSTGRES_HOST, VALKEY_HOST, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. CanYouGrab.It's toolset — API, Auth, Format and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by einiba; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against CanYouGrab.It's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Caveats

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 11 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch CanYouGrab.It.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the canyougrab.it mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects CanYouGrab.It to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 11 tools (API, Auth, Format, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with CanYouGrab.It directly.
