Catalogapi tools (4)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • check_coverageFree

    Check whether CatalogAPI can supply rewards in one or more countries, and which product categories are available there. Call this when someone asks if rewards, gift cards, or incentives can be offered in a particular country, when they have recipients in several countries, or when they ask which countries are supported. This is the authoritative answer about what a country supports.

  • get_reward_detailsFree

    Get detail for a single catalog item. Call this after search_rewards when someone asks about a specific item.

  • how_it_worksFree

    Answer questions about CatalogAPI itself: what it is, how rewards are delivered to recipients, how currencies and billing work, whether the catalog can be customized or extended with your own products, how the API integration works, and how to get started. Call this for any question about the service, the company, or the product model rather than about specific catalog items.

  • search_rewardsFree

    Show example rewards available in one country. Call this when someone asks what kind of thing is on offer, or wants to see the catalog for a country. Returns items from a demonstration catalog: these are examples rather than the full inventory, and no pricing is returned. Use check_coverage for the definitive answer about what a country supports.

What the publisher says

From the Catalogapi repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

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.

https://api.catalogapi.com/mcp

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

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

searchrewards 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 checkcoverage.

checkcoverage is the authoritative one. If the two ever seem to disagree, believe checkcoverage.

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.
