PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • calculate_check_digits

    Add the GS1 check digit to GTIN numbers that are missing it (7, 11, 12 or 13 digits become GTIN-8, UPC-A, EAN-13 or GTIN-14). One number per line or comma separated.

  • validate_gtins

    Check complete GTIN, EAN, UPC and ITF-14 numbers: says for each one whether the check digit is right and which GTIN length it is.

  • identify_code

    Find out what kind of code a string is: GTIN, ISBN, ISSN, SSCC, GLN, GS1-128 data, GS1 Digital Link, VIN, IMEI, ASIN, Amazon LPN or FNSKU, with its check digit status.

  • check_amazon_code

    Read the code from an Amazon sticker: tells an LPN (License Plate Number) from an FNSKU, ASIN, FBA box label, Amazon Logistics tracking number or UPC/EAN, and explains each part. It cannot look up which product a code belongs to.

  • convert_upc_e

    Convert a UPC-E (6, 7 or 8 digits) to the full 12-digit UPC-A, or a UPC-A to UPC-E when one of the four GS1 zero-suppression rules fits. Checks the check digit.

  • convert_isbn

    Convert an ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 or back, with the check digit recalculated and the hyphenated form. ISBN-13 starting with 979 has no ISBN-10.

  • repair_gtin

    Recover a GTIN with unreadable digits: mark each unknown digit with ? or * and get every number that passes the GS1 check digit.

  • parse_gs1

    Split GS1 data (GS1-128, GS1 DataMatrix, Digital Link) into its Application Identifiers, with the name of each AI and any format error.

  • make_barcode

    Draw a print-ready barcode and return it as SVG (or EPS) in millimetres, plus a link that opens it in the generator. Types: upc-a, ean-13, ean-8, itf-14, code-128, code-39, code-93, interleaved-2-of-5, codabar, msi, pharmacode, data-matrix, pdf417, aztec. GS1 retail types use mag

  • barcode_size

    Give the printed size of a barcode type at a GS1 magnification (retail and carton types) or an X-dimension, with the GS1 allowed range.

Common questions

Is EAN Check barcode tools safe?

It passed 2 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.0.0) reached the registry yesterday.

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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP
