🌮 MadTaco — MCP Server

npm: @madtaco/mcp

Verification and utility API for AI agents. Validate tax IDs, screen sanctions, verify companies, inspect domains — prepaid USD credits. Failed checks are never charged.

This package is a stdio [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that wraps the public MadTaco API at https://api.madtaco.dev/v1. Every response includes credits_charged (0 for free operations). Prefer remote HTTP instead? See HTTP MCP below.

Quick start (stdio)

npx @madtaco/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Claude Desktop config: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows). Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json in your project or global MCP settings.

{

"mcpServers": { "madtaco": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@madtaco/mcp"], "env": { "MADTACO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

Without an API key: validate_tax_id, validate_iban, lookup_instrument, validate_email (syntax), validate_phone (format), create_account, verify_account.

With an API key (tier registered): get_usage, propose_check.

Funded account required (tier 2): paid screening/verification tools and validate_email/validate_phone full modes. Top up via POST /v1/billing/checkout or madtaco.dev billing.

Rate limits: 50 req/day anonymous (per IP), 100 req/day registered (per API key), 500/day included once funded — see llms.txt.

Try it

Validate the Chilean RUT 11.111.111-1 using MadTaco.

Check whether IBAN DE89370400440532013000 is valid.

Look up ticker CMG on exchange US.

Remote HTTP

Streamable HTTP MCP on the API subdomain — no npm install required:

{

"mcpServers": { "madtaco": { "url": "https://api.madtaco.dev/mcp", "headers": { "X-Api-Key": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

Authenticate with X-Api-Key or Authorization: Bearer. Same 13 tools as this stdio package.

Environment

Override for staging or local dev:

"env": { "MADTACO_API_BASE": "https://api.madtaco.dev/v1" }

Tools

All paths are relative to MADTACO_API_BASE (default https://api.madtaco.dev/v1).

Not in MCP (REST only)

Call these directly against the API — see llms.txt:

• GET /data/cl/{indicator} — Chilean indicators (UF, UTM, USD, EUR, IPC)
• GET /balance — credit balance (get_usage includes balance)
• GET /evidence/{id} — signed evidence URLs
• GET /health — uptime check

Agent onboarding flow

1. create_account with an email → account_id + pending_verification
2. Human or agent reads the 6-digit code from email
3. verify_account → api_key (tier registered)
4. Fund the account via madtaco.dev billing or POST /v1/billing/checkout
5. Set MADTACO_API_KEY and run paid checks

Credentials never transit through MCP responses for human dashboard access — use POST /v1/accounts/invite-human when needed.

Development

Stdio transport only — this server calls the public HTTP API; no database or secrets beyond an optional API key.

git clone https://github.com/madtaco-dev/mcp.git

cd mcp npm install npm test npm run build MADTACO_API_KEY=... npm run dev

New tools ship as minor npm releases as the API grows. See llms.txt for the current tool list.
