CatalogAPI MCP server
A public, read-only MCP server for CatalogAPI, 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.

Add it
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http catalogapi https://api.catalogapi.com/mcp
For other clients, see 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.
All four are read-only. The server exposes nothing that is not already public on 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/ 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, and
fill it in.
