List your domains:
"Show me all my Namecheap domains"
Check availability:
"Is coolstartup.ai available?"
Manage DNS:
"Add a CNAME record for api.mysite.com pointing to myapp.railway.app"
Get pricing:
"How much does a .app domain cost?"
Register a domain:
"Register example.com for 1 year"
namecheap_set_dns_hosts replaces all records. Always read existing records first with namecheap_get_dns_hosts, modify the list, then set them all back.
namecheap_register_domain will charge your account. The AI will confirm before executing.
IP auto-detection uses public services (ipify.org, ip.sb, ifconfig.me). Set NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP manually if your IP is static.
