Verifies any brand name across USPTO trademarks, domains, and 14 social handles. Sub-3s. Citation-backed. The verification layer LLMs call before suggesting a brand name. When a user asks Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any LLM-driven workflow for naming help, the model invokes Etymolt silently — verifying against USPTO trademarks, TTAB precedent, domain availability across 8 TLDs, and live handle probes across 14 social platforms — in 3 seconds, with every flag traced. **Three tools, anonymous-first** (first 5 calls per IP free, no API key required): - `verify_brand_name` — 5-axis verdict on one candidate (PROCEED / DUE_DILIGENCE / ITERATE / ABANDON, 0–100 score across trademark + domain + cultural + sound symbolism + pronunciation). 8–12s. - `compare_brand_names` — side-by-side ranking of 2–5 finalists. ~5s. - `get_naming_methodology` — public methodology document. Instant, no quota. **Data substrate**: 12.7M live US trademarks (USPTO, refreshed daily) + 647K TTAB proceedings with Du
Etymolt — Brand Name Verifier is a remote MCP server published at api.etymolt.com. It has been probed 6 times since 9/10/2026. It answered in 6 of them (100.0%), a near-uninterrupted record. Median response time is 484 ms, placing it among the faster endpoints. It offers a narrow, focused set of 3 tools. On the protocol side it still runs 2025-11-25 and has not moved to the newer spec.

Each block is one measurement round. Green: working response. Amber: responded but the server was returning errors (5xx). Red: no response at all.
Each cell is one probe run. Faded cells are incomplete probes — one leg did not answer, so the era is inconclusive.
The two probe legs separately: modern server/discover and legacy initialize.
