Sweeppea MCP Server

Model Context Protocol for Sweepstakes Management

How It Works

The Sweeppea MCP Server is a secure bridge between AI assistants and the Sweeppea API. It translates natural language interactions into structured API calls, giving your AI assistant full access to sweepstakes management — participants, official rules, winners, calendars, billing, and more.

Code

Your AI Assistant  →  MCP (Model Context Protocol)  →  Sweeppea MCP Server  →  Sweeppea API v3

No local setup required — just point your MCP client to the endpoint and authenticate.

Authentication & Pricing

This MCP server requires a Sweeppea API Key tied to an active subscription.

Running sweepstakes in the United States and/or Canada is legally complex. Each state has its own regulations — registration requirements, bonding thresholds, void-where-prohibited rules, prize disclosure laws, and official rules that must comply with federal and state-level consumer protection statutes. Getting any of this wrong exposes sponsors to real legal liability.

Sweeppea handles that complexity for you and much more. The platform generates legally compliant official rules, manages multi-state eligibility, enforces entry limits, and provides an auditable record of every participant and winner draw. The API Key you use to connect isn't just authentication — it's your access to a system built specifically to keep sweepstakes legally defensible.

To get started:

Create an account at www.sweeppea.com
Choose a plan that fits your needs
Get your API Key from the API dashboard
Connect your MCP client using the configuration guides below

API documentation: apidocs.sweeppea.com

Server-side Validations

The server enforces business and legal rules before a tool executes. If a call violates a rule, the tool is rejected and never reaches the Sweeppea API — no resources are created.

Two layers run on every tools/call:

Hardcoded legal guardrails (inviolable): illegal lottery without AMOE, COPPA (minimum age below 13), and alcohol age gate.
Dynamic declarative rules (editable by Sweeppea): additional checks on create_sweepstakes, update_entry_settings, create_rules_wizard, create_note, create_ticket, and add_participant.

A rejection returns a structured payload so your AI assistant can recover:

config.json

{
  "blocked_by": "server_validation",
  "error_code": "ALCOHOL_AGE_GATE_REQUIRED",
  "error_message": "Alcohol-related sweepstakes require an age gate of 21+.",
  "rule_id": "age_gate_must_be_21_when_active_v1"
}

rule_id is only present for dynamic rules. The AI assistant can read these fields and adjust the arguments before retrying.
