Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http whoisxml-api-mcp-server-whoisxmlapi https://mcp-hosted.whoisxmlapi.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add whoisxml-api-mcp-server-whoisxmlapi --url https://mcp-hosted.whoisxmlapi.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable whoisxml-api-mcp-server-whoisxmlapi in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whoisxml-api-mcp-server-whoisxmlapi": {
      "url": "https://mcp-hosted.whoisxmlapi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
