Namecheap from the command line
Domains, DNS records and contacts on Namecheap.

Domains, DNS records and contacts on Namecheap. GBrain Tools gives Namecheap, and every other application you connect, a command line for one price.
One price for one person: Namecheap and 102 more applications, from a terminal or any AI. Cancel any time.
Namecheap is connected on its own sign-in page, in the browser. A key or a sign-in never passes through the terminal.

The installer is a shell script for macOS and Linux. Read it before you run it.
Namecheap is a domain registrar. Connected to a workspace, GBrain can answer “is this name free?”, point a subdomain at a new server, or register a domain the team just agreed on.
Registering a domain charges the Namecheap account’s saved payment method, so leave that tool at Read until the team wants it.

Namecheap's own server lists these commands, and the CLI prints this page for them once Namecheap is connected.
Each terminal reaches Namecheap at the level set for it in the browser: Off, or On, which is every command Namecheap's server lists. A terminal reads its level and never raises it.
Each of Namecheap's commands stops at 1,000 actions a day on the account it reaches, whichever terminal or AI asks, and starts again at midnight UTC. Only that command stops.
Each command a terminal runs on Namecheap is a row on GBrain's activity log: which terminal, which account, what it did and whether it was allowed, refusals included. gbrainio activity ls --tool namecheap reads it back.
gbrainio tool help namecheap says what Namecheap is and what each of its commands does, and gbrainio tool ls lists them with everything else the terminal can run. Claude Code and Codex run the same commands, at the same level, on the same record.
GBrain reaches Namecheap at its own server, mcp.namecheap.com. On Namecheap's own pages: its website, how the connection works, its terms of service and its privacy policy.
The GBrain Tools command line works with 102 more applications, each with a page like this one.
Tools is $19 a month for one person. Get Tools, connect Namecheap in the browser, and say how far each terminal and each AI may go with it. Change any of it, or take all of it back, whenever you want.
