namesmith
namesmith helps you find a name for a business, product, or app that’s memorable, distinctive, and still has a domain you can register. You describe what you’re building, and it generates candidates, drops the weak ones, and checks domain availability.
Install
Section titled “Install”/plugin install namesmith@cc-toolkitThere’s nothing else to install.
Domain checks use the Instant Domain Search MCP server, which the plugin registers for you without an API key.
If the install summary says a reload is needed, run /reload-plugins so the domain server connects.
