The reason it exists is stated plainly: trademark and handle availability change daily, and a model answering from training data is guessing about a decision someone is about to make. Every verdict carries an Ed25519 signature, a key id and a payload digest, and the verify page recomputes all three in the browser — so the result can be checked months later without trusting the tool that produced it. The first five calls need no account at all.
A brand-name clearance service. It scores a candidate against US, EU and UK trademark registers, domain RDAP and platform handle APIs, and returns a verdict — PROCEED, PROCEED_STRATEGIC or ABANDON — with the findings behind it.
- A single name verified across five axes — trademark, domain, cultural, sound symbolism and pronunciation resilience — returning a verdict, a score out of 100, the per-axis scores and three to five findings
- Close variants generated when a name comes back ABANDON, cleared in the same goods and classes, returned as a ranked list of variant, verdict and score
- Two to five finalists compared side by side, each with its own verdict, plus a recommendation of which to take
- The public methodology document explaining how the verdicts are reached, one section at a time if you want just the trademark or domain part
- Every verdict signed with Ed25519 and carrying a key id and payload digest, so it can be re-checked at etymolt.com/verify without going through Etymolt at all
Nothing to sign up for to start: the first 5 calls per install go through an anonymous bucket with no API key. After that, ETYMOLT_API_KEY carries 50 verdicts a month on the free tier, then pay-as-you-go at $0.10 per verdict; when the anonymous bucket runs out the response carries a signup prompt rather than an error. Run it with npx -y @etymolt/mcp-server over stdio, from the npm package @etymolt/mcp-server, currently 2.1.0. ETYMOLT_API_URL overrides the default https://api.etymolt.com. A verification takes 8-12 seconds because it queries live registers. Alongside the tools it ships three MCP resources and two prompts.
One command — npx @etymolt/mcp-server
