Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Validate emails, phones, IBAN, VAT; look up IPs and companies; rates, holidays, time via Abstract.

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.

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.
  • Can do 14 things (tools) abstractapi_validate_email, abstractapi_lookup_phone, abstractapi_lookup_ip, abstractapi_enrich_company …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

  "mcpServers": {
    "abstract-api": {
      "url": "https://abstract-api.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "abstract-api": {
      "type": "http",

    }
  }

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

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

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 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • abstractapi_list_vat_rates

    The 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_holidays

Common questions

Is Abstract API MCP by usefulapi 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?

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 (1.22.3) 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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Dechonet MCP

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:
{

"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.
