## Documentation & README

# CatalogAPI MCP server

A public, read-only [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for
[CatalogAPI](https://api.catalogapi.com), the global rewards and gift card API.

Connect it and your assistant can answer questions about reward coverage,
catalog contents, and how the integration works using our real data instead of
guessing.

**No API key. No signup. Nothing to install.**

```
https://api.catalogapi.com/mcp
```

## Add it

Claude Code:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http catalogapi https://api.catalogapi.com/mcp
```

For other clients, see [docs/clients.md](docs/clients.md).

## What you can ask

Once connected, questions like these get answered from live data:

- "Can we send rewards to recipients in Poland, Brazil, and Japan?"
- "What kind of rewards are available in Germany?"
- "How do rewards actually reach a recipient?"
- "What does a catalog price mean? Is that what my users pay?"
- "What would integrating this look like if we already have a storefront?"

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `check_coverage` | Which countries are covered, and which categories are available in each |
| `search_rewards` | Example items from a demonstration catalog for one country |
| `get_reward_details` | Detail for a single catalog item |
| `how_it_works` | Answers about the service itself: coverage, fulfillment, pricing, integration |

Full reference: [docs/tools.md](docs/tools.md).

All four are read-only. The server exposes nothing that is not already public on
[api.catalogapi.com/browse](https://api.catalogapi.com/browse).

## Two things worth knowing

**`search_rewards` returns examples, not inventory.** It reads a demonstration
catalog, and it does not return pricing. For a definitive answer about what a
country supports, use `check_coverage`.

**`check_coverage` is the authoritative one.** If the two ever seem to disagree,
believe `check_coverage`.

## Postman collection

[`postman/`](postman/) has a collection covering the REST API itself: 35
requests across the cart, catalog, and order lifecycle, plus a sandbox
environment.

The environment ships with an empty `apiKey`. Create a sandbox key from your
dashboard after [signing up](https://api.catalogapi.com/users/register), and
fill it in.
