Apitier

@apitier/mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing all APITier utility APIs as tools for AI agents.

Two integration modes:

Both modes use the same MCP Key — one key unlocks all your subscribed services.

Postman collection: import the ready-made collection to test all endpoints instantly: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apitier/apitier-mcp-server/main/postman/APITier%20MCP%20Server.postman_collection.json

In Postman: Import → Link → paste URL → set mcp_api_key collection variable.

Quick Start

1. Get your MCP Key

Sign up at apitier.com → Account → AI & MCP → Generate MCP Key.

Your MCP Key (mcp_...) automatically unlocks the tools for every APITier service you have subscribed to. No per-service configuration needed.

Hosted HTTP Endpoint

POST https://mcp.apitier.com/mcp?x-api-key=YOUR_MCP_KEY

Pass your MCP Key as the x-api-key query parameter. The endpoint resolves your subscribed services and returns only the tools available to you.

Required headers:

Content-Type: application/jsonAccept: application/json, text/event-stream

Test with curl:

curl -s -X POST 'https://mcp.apitier.com/mcp?x-api-key=YOUR_MCP_KEY' \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | jq .

Call a tool:

curl -s -X POST 'https://mcp.apitier.com/mcp?x-api-key=YOUR_MCP_KEY' \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \  -d '{    "jsonrpc": "2.0",    "id": 1,    "method": "tools/call",    "params": {      "name": "verify_uk_company",      "arguments": { "q": "03977902" }    }  }' | jq .

Health check:

curl https://mcp.apitier.com/health

Use with any HTTP MCP client

{  "mcpServers": {    "apitier": {      "url": "https://mcp.apitier.com/mcp?x-api-key=YOUR_MCP_KEY"    }  }}

Claude Desktop (stdio)

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

With MCP Key (recommended — single key, all subscribed tools):

{  "mcpServers": {    "apitier": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apitier/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APITIER_MCP_KEY": "mcp_your-key-here"      }    }  }}

With individual service keys (if you prefer explicit control):

{  "mcpServers": {    "apitier": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@apitier/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "APITIER_POSTCODE_KEY":     "key-from-postcode-subscription",        "APITIER_LEAD_AGENT_KEY":   "key-from-lead-agent-subscription",        "APITIER_EMAIL_KEY":        "key-from-email-subscription",        "APITIER_PHONE_KEY":        "key-from-phone-subscription",        "APITIER_VAT_KEY":          "key-from-vat-subscription",        "APITIER_BARCODE_KEY":      "key-from-barcode-subscription",        "APITIER_CONVERT_DATA_KEY": "key-from-data-conversion-subscription"      }    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. Only tools for your active subscriptions will appear.

LangChain (Python)

stdio:

            model = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-sonnet-4-6")            agent = create_react_agent(model, tools)
            result = await agent.ainvoke({                "messages": "Validate this email: [email protected] and look up postcode SW1A 1AA"            })            print(result["messages"][-1].content)

HTTP endpoint:

async def main():    async with streamablehttp_client(        "https://mcp.apitier.com/mcp?x-api-key=mcp_your-key-here"    ) as (read, write, _):        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:            await session.initialize()            tools = await load_mcp_tools(session)            # use tools with your agent...

Vercel AI SDK (TypeScript)

stdio:

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";import { Experimental_StdioMCPTransport as StdioMCPTransport } from "ai/mcp-stdio";import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";import { generateText } from "ai";
const mcp = await createMCPClient({  transport: new StdioMCPTransport({    command: "npx",    args: ["-y", "@apitier/mcp-server"],    env: { APITIER_MCP_KEY: process.env.APITIER_MCP_KEY! },  }),});
const tools = await mcp.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({  model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-6"),  tools,  prompt: "Verify this UK company: Google UK Limited",});
await mcp.close();

HTTP endpoint:

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
const mcp = await createMCPClient({  transport: {    type: "sse",    url: `https://mcp.apitier.com/mcp?x-api-key=${process.env.APITIER_MCP_KEY}`,  },});
const tools = await mcp.tools();

Environment Variables

validate_sort_code requires no API key — it is always available.

kyc_onboard_uk requires APITIER_POSTCODE_KEY + APITIER_LEAD_AGENT_KEY + APITIER_VAT_KEY (or a unified APITIER_MCP_KEY with all three subscriptions). The tool only appears when all three services are active.

Individual service keys take precedence over APITIER_MCP_KEY if both are set.

Development

git clone https://github.com/apitier/apitier-mcp-server.gitcd apitier-mcp-servernpm installnpm run buildAPITIER_MCP_KEY=mcp_your-key node dist/index.js

Test with the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx @apitier/mcp-server

Set APITIER_MCP_KEY in the inspector's environment variables panel.
