WhoisMCP Server Release

Installation

🍎 macOS Users - Choose the Right Version!

Check your Mac type first:

uname -m

• Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3): Download whoismcp-server-macos-arm64
• Intel Macs: Download whoismcp-server-macos-x86_64

⚠️ Getting "bad CPU type" error? You downloaded the wrong architecture!

🪟 Windows Users

Download whoismcp-server-windows-x86_64.exe

🐧 Linux Users

Download whoismcp-server-linux-x86_64

Setup Instructions

1. Download the appropriate binary for your platform
2. Make it executable (on macOS/Linux): chmod +x whoismcp-server-*
3. Place it in a convenient location (e.g., /usr/local/bin or ~/bin)

MCP Configuration

Add the WhoisMCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Edit the configuration file and add the following to the mcpServers object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    // ... your existing MCP servers ...
    "whoismcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/whoismcp-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Important:

• Replace /path/to/whoismcp-server with the actual path to your downloaded binary
• If you have other MCP servers already configured, add the "whoismcp" entry after them (don't forget the comma before it)
• On Windows, use forward slashes or escaped backslashes: "C:/path/to/whoismcp-server.exe" or "C:\\path\\to\\whoismcp-server.exe"

Environment Variables (Optional)

You can customize the server behavior by adding environment variables to the env object:

"whoismcp": {
  "command": "/path/to/whoismcp-server",
  "args": [],
  "env": {
    "WHOIS_TIMEOUT": "60",
    "RDAP_TIMEOUT": "60",
    "CACHE_TTL": "7200",
    "LOG_LEVEL": "INFO"
  }
}

Available environment variables:

• WHOIS_TIMEOUT: Whois query timeout in seconds (default: 30)
• RDAP_TIMEOUT: RDAP query timeout in seconds (default: 30)
• CACHE_TTL: Cache time-to-live in seconds (default: 3600)
• CACHE_MAX_SIZE: Maximum cache entries (default: 1000)
• LOG_LEVEL: Logging level - DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR (default: INFO)

Verification

After updating the configuration:

1. Restart Claude Desktop
2. Look for "whoismcp" in the MCP servers list
3. Test with queries like:
   • "Look up the domain example.com"
   • "Get RDAP info for google.com"
   • "Check whois for IP 8.8.8.8"

Supported Platforms

• Linux: x86_64
• macOS: x86_64 (Intel) and arm64 (Apple Silicon)
• Windows: x86_64

Troubleshooting

If the server doesn't appear in Claude:

1. Check that the binary path is correct in the config
2. Ensure the binary has execute permissions (macOS/Linux)
3. Check Claude's logs for any error messages
4. Try running the binary directly to test: ./whoismcp-server --help
