Get started

Application Namer is a Next.js app you run yourself. There is no account to create and no hosted instance.

  1. Step 1

    Install

    From a checkout of the repository, run pnpm install. You need Node.js 24 and pnpm.

  2. Step 2

    Start it

    Run pnpm dev and open http://localhost:3000.

  3. Step 3

    Check a Name

    Registry checks work immediately, with no keys.

  4. Step 4

    Turn on Suggestions

    Copy .env.example to .env.local and configure at least one Provider: an API key, or a running MCP bridge.

Quickstart

pnpm install
pnpm dev
# open http://localhost:3000

What you need

  • Node.js 24 and pnpm
  • Nothing else for Registry checks
  • For Suggestions: a key for the Claude API or the OpenAI API, or a running mcp-agent-bridge server
  • Optional: a GitHub token, which raises GitHub’s search limit from about 10 to about 30 requests per minute
