- Connection: Computer or cloud
- Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
- Category: Online shops & payments
- You need to fill in: CHECKBOX_API_KEY, Authorization
Install
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.
Before you install
- Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
- Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
- You fill in yourself:
CHECKBOX_API_KEY,Authorization
Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.
You need
- Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
- npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)
Which app do you use?
Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.
This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.
Or run it on your computer
Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

}Run this in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http checkbox https://app.checkbox.site/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'Or run it on your computer

Common questions
Is Checkbox 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: CHECKBOX_API_KEY, Authorization
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 2 days 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 in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

Checkbox MCP server
Subscription-law compliance for AI coding agents. Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client to Checkbox and your agent can set up a project with one human click, check checkout code before it ships, work the compliance plan to done and run synthetic test subscriptions — against ROSCA, California's Automatic Renewal Law, New York GBL § 527-a and the other state automatic-renewal laws.
Docs: https://checkbox.site/docs/mcp · Agent index: https://checkbox.site/llms.txt · Free to start.
Connect
Remote (recommended) — Streamable HTTP at https://app.checkbox.site/mcp, nothing to install, no API key to copy: the server implements MCP OAuth, so your client opens a Checkbox sign-in and you click Approve once.
- claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector →
https://app.checkbox.site/mcp→ Connect → Approve. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http checkbox https://app.checkbox.site/mcp, then/mcp→ Authenticate. - Cursor (
.cursor/mcp.json):{ "mcpServers": { "checkbox": { "url": "https://app.checkbox.site/mcp" } } }, then Connect.
API keys still work everywhere (CI, headless agents): add --header "Authorization: Bearer $CHECKBOX_SECRET_KEY" (Claude Code) or "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:CHECKBOX_SECRET_KEY}" } (Cursor). Agents without a browser: https://app.checkbox.site/mcp?login=device offers setup_checkbox, which returns an approval link and then test-mode keys.
Local (stdio) — for clients without remote MCP support:
{
"mcpServers": { "checkbox": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@checkbox-site/mcp"], "env": { "CHECKBOX_API_KEY": "ck_test_..." } } } }
Package: @checkbox-site/mcp on npm (Node 20+; binary checkbox-mcp). Options: --read-only, --api-key, --api-base; environment CHECKBOX_API_KEY (falls back to CHECKBOX_SECRET_KEY), CHECKBOX_API_BASE, CHECKBOX_MCP_READ_ONLY=true.
Tools
Start with setup_checkbox; then get_compliance_plan → apply a task → verify_task, until the plan is compliant. Preflight tools (check_disclosure, check_stripe_checkout_session, check_email, check_page_html, get_notice_schedule) work on code before it is deployed. The full list, with the API operation behind each tool, is at https://checkbox.site/docs/mcp#tools.
Every tool is a thin call to the public API (https://app.checkbox.site/v1), so keys, scopes, test/live mode and rate limits are the API's. Write tools say so and carry readOnlyHint: false. Results are written for models and end with the next tool to call.
