Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http rdap https://rdapapi.io/mcp/rdap

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other apps

Add it as a custom connector with this URL (Streamable HTTP):

https://rdapapi.io/mcp/rdap

This server expects extra headers, usually an API key from its maker.

Cursor, VS Code and other apps (mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rdap": {
      "url": "https://rdapapi.io/mcp/rdap"
    }
  }
}

Tools it offers

7 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • domain-lookupLook up normalized RDAP registration data (registrar, status, dates, nameservers, contacts) for a domain name.
  • bulk-domain-lookupLook up normalized RDAP registration data for several domain names in one pooled call. Requires a Pro or Business plan; every domain in the batch counts against the quota.
  • ip-lookupLook up normalized RDAP allocation data (network range, holder, country, status, geofeed URL) for an IP address or CIDR block.
  • asn-lookupLook up normalized RDAP data (holder, country, status, registration dates) for an autonomous system number.
  • nameserver-lookupLook up normalized RDAP data (IP addresses, status, sponsoring registrar) for a nameserver hostname.
  • entity-lookupLook up normalized RDAP data for an RIR entity handle — an organization or contact identifier such as "GOGL" or "ORG-RIEN1-RIPE". Only ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC and AFRINIC handles resolve; a domain's registrar or regist
  • tldsList the TLDs this API can query, or describe one: which RDAP server answers for it, since when it has been supported, and how often that server fills each field. Metadata, so it never counts against the monthly quota.

Questions

What is the RDAP API MCP server?

Normalized JSON for any domain across 1,200+ TLDs, reading WHOIS where no RDAP server exists. It is made by rdapapi.io and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.rdapapi/rdap. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add RDAP API to Claude?

In the Claude app or claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector" and paste https://rdapapi.io/mcp/rdap. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http rdap https://rdapapi.io/mcp/rdap

How do I add RDAP API to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can use remote MCP servers as connectors. In ChatGPT settings, under Apps and Connectors, turn on developer mode if asked, create a new connector and paste https://rdapapi.io/mcp/rdap.

How do I add RDAP API to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "rdap": { "url": "https://rdapapi.io/mcp/rdap" } } }

Does RDAP API work right now?

Yes. It responded when we last checked on 31 Oct 2026. We check remote MCP servers every day.

What can RDAP API do?

It gives your AI 7 tools, including domain-lookup, bulk-domain-lookup, ip-lookup, asn-lookup, nameserver-lookup. The full list is on this page.
