Why We're Different
Unlike registrar-specific tools or manual tracking methods, Nerve.io normalizes and standardizes data from multiple sources into a unified, consistent format. Regardless of how different systems represent information, you get a single, reliable API that simplifies integration and just works.
Nerve acts only as your technical agent: we relay your signed, scoped requests to your registrars using your credentials; we don't sell registrar services and never substitute our own credentials.
Features That Secure Your Success
Everything you need to manage domains safely and efficiently
Secure Credential Vault
Never share your registrar logins again. Store account credentials and API keys in our encrypted vault, with automatic key rotation for API keys. Create temporary, permission-based access tokens for specific tasks, contractors, or team members.
Scoped Access Control
Granular permissions for peace of mind. Define exactly what each token can do: read-only access, specific domains only, or limited management rights. Include IP restrictions and automatic expiration dates.
Universal API & MCP
One API to rule them all. Our protocol normalizes data across all registrars, so you don't need to learn each registrar's quirks. Write once, work everywhere ‒ even in coding environments with our MCP.
Immutable Audit Logs
Know exactly who did what and when. Every action is logged with timestamps, user details, and outcomes. Essential for compliance, security, and troubleshooting.
AI-Powered Management
Ask questions, get instant answers. "Show me domains expiring next month" or "Which domains are using Cloudflare DNS?" Natural language processing makes portfolio management effortless.
Cross-Registrar Actions
One command, multiple registrars. Update DNS, change contacts, or modify nameservers across different registrars simultaneously. No more logging into five different dashboards.
Bulk Domain Operations
Update DNS, renewals, or transfers across multiple registrars with one command. No more logging into five different dashboards.
Real-time Notifications
Auto-sync domain data. Get instant alerts for DNS changes, failed operations, or suspicious activity via email, Slack, or webhooks.
Team Collaboration
Invite team members with role-based permissions and activity tracking. Perfect for agencies and growing teams.
Developer & Integration Tokens
Time-boxed, least-privilege tokens for IDE extensions, GitHub Actions, Zapier, or your own code via REST/GraphQL/MCP.
Webhook Integration
Connect to Slack, Discord, or custom endpoints for automated workflows and real-time notifications.
Rate Limiting & Caching
Built-in protection against API abuse with intelligent response caching for better performance and reliability.
Domain Health Monitoring
Track expiration dates, DNS propagation, and security status across all registrars in one dashboard.
Export & Reporting
Generate compliance reports, audit logs, and domain portfolio analytics for stakeholders and regulators.
Backup & Recovery
Automatic backup of domain configurations and disaster recovery options to protect your digital assets.
Connect Your Entire Domain Ecosystem

Query your portfolio with natural language: Ask questions like "Show me domains expiring next month" or "Which domains are using Cloudflare DNS?"
Create developer-friendly workflows: Integrate with GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, and development tools using time-limited access tokens
Monitor and audit everything: Track every action taken on your domains with immutable logs and real-time notifications
Collaborate securely: Give team members and contractors limited access without sharing master credentials
Your credentials are protected with bank-grade AES-256 encryption and stored in Google Cloud. They exist in memory only long enough to be encrypted, then plaintext is permanently purged. We use the same security standards as major financial institutions and cloud providers. Every access is logged, and you can revoke access instantly without affecting your master credentials.
Absolutely. Nerve.io is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing workflows. Our REST API is compatible with most development frameworks, and we support webhooks for real-time notifications. For AI and automation workflows, we provide MCP (Model Context Protocol) access. You can start with read-only access and gradually expand permissions as needed, all while maintaining full audit trails of every action.
No. Nerve is a free security proxy tool that operates solely on your behalf using your credentials. We do not resell registrar APIs or act as a registrar. Registrar fees are billed by your registrars; Nerve billing is only for optional value‑add features.
Here's how we ensure compliance:
Agent/Processor Model: We act as your technical agent with keys staying in your name. Universal TOS doesn't forbid delegation as long as you remain liable and we respect API rate limits and security. We do not resell registrar API services.
Zero-Knowledge Vault: We merely store keys encrypted at rest, falling under "use of the Site" rather than a derivative service. Our free tier is effectively an accessory tool, similar to password managers.
IP-Limited Reverse Proxy: All calls include your keys and respect rate limits to always be in compliance with registrar policies.
Client Library: Our SDK that consumes scoped tokens keeps us in the role of tool provider, not service reseller.
If you want additional features like advanced key scoping, full audit trails with undo options, and access to the Playground agent, we offer a paid add-on service that's completely optional.
You have complete flexibility. Nerve.io is an optional security layer that sits between you and your registrars — it doesn't own or control your domains. You can always access your domains directly through your original registrar accounts at any time. Your domain registrations, DNS settings, and all other configurations remain untouched and under your control. Nerve.io simply provides additional security and automation capabilities when you choose to use them.
We currently support GoDaddy, Dynadot, and Namecheap, with plans to support every major registrar. If your registrar isn't supported yet, we're constantly adding new integrations based on user demand. You can request your registrar through our support channel, and we'll prioritize popular requests. Our goal is to support all major registrars to ensure you can manage your entire domain portfolio through one secure interface.
Why Nerve.io Exists
We believe domain management infrastructure should enable innovation, not limit it.
Every day, thousands of businesses struggle to build domain management tools because they're forced to integrate with dozens of different registrar APIs, each with their own quirks and limitations. Developers waste months building integrations instead of focusing on user experience. Companies settle for subpar tools because building better ones is too complex.
We built Nerve.io because the domain industry deserves infrastructure that enables innovation rather than blocking it. No more API fragmentation. No more security compromises. No more reinventing the wheel.
This is domain infrastructure for the modern era: Secure. Unified. Developer-friendly.
Your domain management tools should be as powerful as your imagination. We provide the foundation; you build the future.
