What developers are saying

★★★★★

We integrated the UK postcode API in under an hour. Address lookup accuracy went from ~70% to over 99% overnight — our checkout abandonment dropped noticeably within the first week.

The MCP integration is genuinely impressive. I added APITier to Claude Desktop in minutes and now my agent validates emails and postcodes in real time instead of hallucinating them. Saves me 10+ manual checks a day.

MCP Tools for AI Agents

Connect Your AI Agent to Production APIs Through MCP

APITier gives AI agents real tools, real data, and real API actions. Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI client to address, verification, barcode, and web extraction APIs with one account and one MCP key.

One Key, All APIs

Generate a single MCP key from your dashboard and connect subscribed APIs to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and custom agents without per-service setup.

Real Tools, Real Data

APITier exposes production APIs as native MCP tools so AI agents can validate emails, look up postcodes, decode barcodes, and extract web data in real time.

Works with Claude, Cursor & More

Drop a simple MCP config into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or another compatible client and expose your subscribed APIs as agent tools with no wrapper code.

Tools appear automatically based on your active plan, so your AI agent only gets access to the production APIs you have enabled.

WHY USE APITIER AS AI AGENT INFRASTRUCTURE?

Why teams use APITier for MCP tools and production API actions

Native MCP Tool Support

Every APITier API is exposed as a native MCP tool. Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf can call them directly — no SDK, no wrapper, no boilerplate.

Eliminates AI Hallucinations on Facts

Postcode lookups, VAT validation, and email verification return authoritative live data — AI agents get correct answers instead of guessing.

Zero Integration Code

A small MCP config is all it takes. Your subscribed production APIs appear automatically as tools, and your AI agent decides when to call them.

Performance at Any Scale

Serverless cloud infrastructure handles millions of agent calls with sub-200ms latency — no cold-start penalties for high-volume AI workflows.

Pay for Successful API Usage

You pay only for successful API requests made by your application or AI agent, with plans that scale from individual developers to enterprise teams.

Subscription-Gated Tools

Tools available to your AI agent exactly match your active subscriptions. Upgrade a plan and the new tool appears in your AI setup instantly.

HOW APITIER POWERS AI AGENT WORKFLOWS

Why APITier fits production AI agent infrastructure

Automate Data Validation Workflows

AI agents automatically validate emails, phone numbers, postcodes, and VAT numbers during onboarding, order processing, and CRM enrichment — using real API actions instead of manual checks.

Ground AI in Trusted Data Sources

UK postcode data from Ordnance Survey & Royal Mail, VAT numbers verified against HMRC — your AI agent works with authoritative data, not guesses.

Ship AI Features Faster

Skip weeks of API research and wiring. Subscribed APITier tools appear in your MCP setup automatically, reducing time from idea to working agent.

Elevate Customer-Facing AI Agents

Build AI assistants that look up real addresses, validate user inputs, and generate barcodes on demand — giving customers instant, accurate responses.

Scale Agent Infrastructure Effortlessly

Production APIs scale automatically with agent traffic. Whether your AI makes 10 or 10 million calls, there is no extra infrastructure to manage.

Works Across Every AI Platform

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP-compatible tool. One key and one config keep your AI agent stack consistent across platforms.

Simple, transparent pricing

Frequently Asked Questions About MCP and AI Agent Tools


AI & MCP INTEGRATION

What is MCP and how does it relate to APITier?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf call external APIs as native agent tools. APITier implements MCP so your subscribed APIs — email validation, UK postcode lookup, barcode generation, and more — are available to AI agents out of the box, with no custom integration code.

Which AI tools are compatible with APITier's MCP integration?

Any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol works with APITier. This includes Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot MCP extensions, and any custom agent built with the Anthropic Agent SDK or compatible frameworks.

How do I connect APITier to Claude Desktop?

1. Log in to your APITier dashboard and go to AI & MCP.
2. Click Generate MCP Key and copy the key.
3. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add:
"mcpServers": { "apitier": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@apitier/mcp-server"], "env": { "APITIER_MCP_KEY": "your-key" } } }
4. Restart Claude Desktop. Your subscribed APIs appear as tools automatically.

Are API calls made by an AI agent charged the same way?

Yes. Each successful API call counts as one credit, whether it is made by your own code, a REST client, or an AI agent via MCP. Your existing subscription quota covers both.

Does my MCP Key give access to all APITier APIs?

Your MCP Key unlocks only the APIs you are actively subscribed to. If you subscribe to the UK Postcode API, those tools appear in your AI setup. Subscribe to email validation and that tool is added automatically — no key regeneration needed.

Why use APITier APIs in an AI agent instead of letting the AI answer directly?

AI language models can hallucinate factual data — especially postcodes, VAT numbers, phone validity, and email deliverability. APITier APIs return live, authoritative data from official sources (Royal Mail, Ordnance Survey, HMRC). Using them in your agent ensures accuracy where it matters most.


API KEY

How to get API Key?

Register Free (without providing Card Details) with an email and password.

Can I publicly expose my API Key by embedding it in some client-side code?

Yes. Many people choose this route due to faster response times and no server-side code to handle API queries. However, you need to take appropriate measures to limit your API Key so it cannot be misused by others.

Can I get my data in XML (or some other data format)?

Not right now. It's all in JSON. We do not have plans to use other formats.

PRICING & USAGE

How to Pay for APITier API Key?

API providers offer subscription plans tailored to the needs of individual developers, startups, and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). These subscription plans often provide access to a range of features and usage limits, allowing you to select the plan that best fits your requirements.

Are my credit card payments safe?

Yes, all payment details are sent directly to Stripe. We never see any of this information. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available. Stripe link - https://stripe.com

Can I cancel my subscription at anytime?

You can cancel your subscription at any time with our service. We understand that your needs may change, and we want to ensure you have the flexibility to adjust your plan as necessary.

How usage is calculated?

Each API call on the APITier platform count as the use of 1 API credit.
Example -
1. Single Find By Postcode API call, count as 1 credit use
2. Single Address Lookup API call, count as 1 credit use
3. Single Validate Email API call, count as 1 credit use

DEVELOPMENT

What Is APITier?

APITier is an AI agent infrastructure platform that connects AI clients and developer applications to production APIs for verification, address lookup, web extraction, data conversion, and barcode workflows.

How to integrate APITier API?

You can integrate APITier in two ways: call the APIs directly from your app, or connect them as MCP tools for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and custom AI agents.

Where does the data come from?

We cross-reference Ordnance Survey's and Royal Mail (Postcode Address File) complete list of UK postcodes (code point open) with the latest property sales, council tax register, companies house data, and over twenty other data sources to create a near-complete address database.

Can I save or cache the addresses I receive?

Yes, addresses are public data.

SUPPORT

Are you providing support?

Yes, we offer email support for all our customers & even online meetings for our extended license customers.

What's the difference between Basic and Priority support?

Priority support is available 24-hours a day and can give advice on your code issues. Basic support will only provide advice with API issues or responses from our servers.
