Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Abstract API MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fabstract-api/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Abstract API MCP by usefulapi

Use Abstract API from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — email validation, phone lookup, IP geolocation, company enrichment, IBAN and VAT validation, VAT rates and calculation, exchange rates (live, conversion, historical), public holidays and time zones. Connect with the keys of the Abstract APIs you use (at least one); every call spends credits from your own plan. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Abstract API credentials.

Live endpoint: https://abstract-api.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/abstract-api

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://abstract-api.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http abstract-api https://abstract-api.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "abstract-api": {      "url": "https://abstract-api.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Abstract API credentials.
