Whodis FAQs

Question 1

What is Whodis?

Accepted Answer

Whodis is a tool that checks the availability of domain names by performing WHOIS lookups. It's designed for developers and integrates seamlessly with MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI assistants.

Question 2

What is MCP integration and why is it useful?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows AI systems to securely connect with external tools. Whodis exposes a 'check-domain-availability' tool via MCP, enabling AI assistants to check domains directly.

Question 3

How do I use Whodis?

Accepted Answer

You can use Whodis via the command-line interface (CLI) for direct testing, or integrate it as an MCP tool for AI workflows. Configuration is simple using environment variables or a .env file.

Question 4

How accurate are the domain availability results?

Accepted Answer

While Whodis strives for accuracy, availability checks depend on WHOIS server responses. Results may not be 100% accurate for all TLDs or due to temporary network issues. Failed lookups are omitted from the results.

Question 5

Is Whodis free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Whodis is open-source software licensed under the ISC License, meaning it's free to use, modify, and distribute.
