Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Validate emails, phones, IBAN, VAT; look up IPs and companies; rates, holidays, time via Abstract.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

abstractapi_list_vat_ratesThe latest VAT rates of one country: the standard rate and each reduced-rate category with its description. VAT Validation API. Abstract answers this endpoint without checking the key and may not count it as a credit; this tool still needs the VAT API key.

abstractapi_get_historical_ratesExchange rates of a base currency on a past date. Abstract lists this endpoint as closed beta: a key may be refused (HTTP 401/403) until Abstract enables it. Exchange Rates API. Spends 1 credit of your Exchange Rates plan per request (a failed request counts too); needs the Excha
abstractapi_get_holidaysPublic, local and religious holidays of a country for a date, a month or a year.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.22.3) reached the registry yesterday.
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.

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
https://abstract-api.usefulapi.io/mcp.claude mcp add --transport http abstract-api https://abstract-api.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.{

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.

| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Pro (per user) | $9/mo or $90/yr (2 months free) | Unlimited* |
\*Pro has a fair use limit of 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to support@usefulapi.io.
Pro covers this server only. Subscribe with abstractapi_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with abstractapi_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running abstractapi_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.
