Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/domain/transfer`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_domain_transfer`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Moves a domain you own at another registrar onto your org here, using its authCode, and answers the same record-plus-quote a purchase does.

It is priced and charged exactly like a registration: authorize the org's prepaid balance, ask the registrar for the transfer, capture only after the registrar accepts. A name the registrar will not price is 409, an insufficient balance is 402, and a deployment with no registrar credentials is 503.

It requires a validated principal; the ownership record is written under that org as soon as the registrar ACCEPTS the request, which is not the same instant the transfer completes at the losing registrar. Unlike a registration this does not provision a zone, so the record carries this deployment's configured nameservers.

MCP reaches domain through the domain tool, which names its 7 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_domain_availability"
         }
       }
     }'
