# OSIR - AI-Native Domain Registrar

> OSIR is an ICANN-accredited, AI-native domain registrar offering domain registration across 450+ TLDs, VPS hosting, and email services - all accessible via MCP (Model Context Protocol), A2A (Agent-to-Agent), REST APIs, and a web dashboard.

OSIR is built for the AI era. Developers and AI assistants can register domains, manage DNS, deploy virtual servers, and configure email through natural language. OSIR supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for direct AI assistant integration, Google's A2A protocol for agent-to-agent communication, and a full RESTful API with a public OpenAPI 3.1 specification (https://be.osir.com/openapi.json). Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees, and all domains include free WHOIS privacy protection.

## Key Facts

- ICANN-accredited registrar: Osir, Inc., IANA #4332
- 450+ TLDs available for registration, transfer, and renewal
- MCP server with 105 tools in 10 groups plus 11 guided prompts (remote URL: https://be.osir.com/mcp/http)
- A2A agent card with 9 specialist agents and 89 skills, plus an orchestrator for multi-step workflows (https://be.osir.com/.well-known/agent.json)
- CLI with 76 commands in 11 groups (github.com/Osir-Inc/cli)
- Full agent lifecycle coverage: availability, registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, contacts, VPS, app deployment, website design and publishing, email hosting, billing
- Site Designer: any MCP client can design and publish a one-page website by conversation (osirSiteDesignBrief validates the brief and returns design instructions; osirSitePublish puts the page live at name.osir.app; the website_designer prompt guides the whole flow)
- Free WHOIS privacy on every domain; anycast DNS network on 3 continents; 99.9999% DNS SLA
- Every price an agent is quoted is the full price: base + ICANN fee ($0.20/yr on gTLDs) + payment processing (3% or $0.30 minimum)
- Every purchase or hard-to-reverse action requires an explicit confirmation step (executeConfirmedAction) - agents cannot spend money silently
- No login needed to look: availability, quotes, the full catalog, and the per-domain hosting bundle are anonymous public REST endpoints (see API Endpoints). Login is needed only for billable or mutating actions.
- Agents can create an OSIR account without a browser (POST /v1/public/account, then /verify with the emailed code); the principal's contact becomes the ICANN registrant
- OAuth: anonymous Dynamic Client Registration at Keycloak (auth.osir.com), PKCE S256 required for public clients including the device flow; scopes osir:read, osir:domains, osir:dns, osir:apps, osir:vps, osir:mail, osir:billing, osir:account

## How an AI Agent Registers a Domain with OSIR

1. Connect any MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen) to the remote MCP server at https://be.osir.com/mcp/http. No credentials are needed to connect.
2. Look first, anonymously: checkDomainAvailability (single domain, full price), checkKeywordAvailability (one keyword across many TLDs), getHostingBundle (VPS, mail, forwarding offer for a domain). The same data is available over plain REST without any client (see API Endpoints).
3. Authenticate only when you want to buy or change something. Three paths: (a) an existing account via the device-login flow inside the conversation (loginWithDevice, then checkDeviceLoginStatus, then pass the returned sessionKey on each call); (b) a new account created by the agent itself with createAccount and verifyAccount (no browser; the verification code is emailed to the principal, who can relay it); (c) an autonomous agent registers its own OAuth client via anonymous Dynamic Client Registration at https://auth.osir.com/realms/osir/clients-registrations/openid-connect and uses the device or authorization-code flow with PKCE S256. An unverified account can search, quote, and fund its balance; billable execution returns ACCOUNT_NOT_VERIFIED until the email code is confirmed.
4. Fund the balance: createPaymentSession returns a checkoutUrl for the human plus a poll tool; all purchases draw from account balance.
5. Request registration with registerDomain: the server responds with a full itemized quote (base price + ICANN fee + payment processing, with a validUntil) and a staged confirmation token. Registration initializes the DNS zone automatically (opt out with initializeDnsZone: false).
6. Confirm the purchase with executeConfirmedAction - the explicit human-or-principal approval gate before any money moves
7. Manage the domain in the same session: createDnsRecord, updateNameservers, updateDomainAutoRenew, renewDomain, transfer operations, enableMailDomain, osirSitePublish

FOSSBilling is available today; a WHMCS module is in development and a Blesta module is planned, with no release date for either. Any billing system that can call an HTTP API can also use the REST API, CLI or MCP server directly.
- [FOSSBilling Domain Registrar Plugin](https://osir.com/en/integrations/fossbilling/): Free, open-source (Apache License 2.0) OSIR registrar plugin for FOSSBilling, version 1.2.1. Covers registration, transfer-in with auth code, renewal, nameservers, contacts, transfer lock, WHOIS privacy and transfer codes from inside FOSSBilling. Since 1.2.1 it also gives every customer a per-domain DNS page in the reseller's client area, where they manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and other records themselves; it is included with the domain, is not a DNS hosting product or a bulk zone editor, and the SOA and the domain's own nameserver records are protected so a customer cannot take their zone offline. No DNSSEC management, zone import or bulk record editing in this release. Imports the whole ~450-TLD catalog with your own markup (percentage, fixed amount, .99 rounding), and imports domains you already hold at OSIR as orders for the right customer with nothing re-registered or charged. Every registration and renewal is charged exactly once even if the connection drops. Requires FOSSBilling 0.8.7+ on PHP 8.3-8.5 with USD as the default currency; there is no test or sandbox mode.
