What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_engines

    Find the right ReefAPI engine for a task — pass ENGLISH keywords or a short natural-language use-case ("detect a website's tech stack", "company reviews", "check a package for vulnerabilities", "is this domain available"). The catalog is in English: if the end-user asked in anoth

  • get_engine_schema

    COMPACT overview of ONE engine: every action with its description, required params and what it returns — but NOT the full param detail (kept lean so a 90-action engine stays token-cheap). Call this after search_engines to pick the right ACTION, then get_action_schema(engine, acti

  • get_action_schema

    FULL detail for ONE engine action: every parameter (type, required, description, allowed_values dropdown, default, example, min/max), what it returns, pricing, and a ready-to-run example_params. Call this right before call_engine so you send valid params — invalid enum values are

  • call_engine

    Call a ReefAPI engine action — POST / /v1/ with `params`. Returns the uniform { ok, data, meta, error } envelope. Get param names from get_engine_schema first. Needs YOUR ReefAPI key. The local server reads REEFAPI_KEY; the hosted server accepts an OAuth access token (connect wit

  • get_catalog

    The FULL ReefAPI catalog — EVERY engine with its one-line title, grouped by category. This is the whole menu (≈ a few thousand tokens); SCAN IT AND PICK THE BEST ENGINE YOURSELF. You are an LLM, so you match the user's intent semantically — across ANY language, typo, or phrasing

Common questions

Is ReefAPI safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.27.2) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

What can I use instead?
