ParseAPI MCP server

parseapi-mcp

Official ParseAPI MCP server. Look up places, addresses, company numbers, email, phone, weather, currency, timezones, dates and more from your AI agent.

Hosted

One URL, nothing to install. Add the server and sign in once in the browser. Free plan works.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parseAPI": { "url": "https://mcp.parseapi.com" }
  }
}

Cursor: Add to Cursor

Repo-root .mcp.json is keyless on purpose. cursor.directory auto-detects it when you submit or refresh the listing.

CI and headless setups skip the browser with a key from parseapi.com:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parseAPI": {
      "url": "https://mcp.parseapi.com",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Local

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parseAPI": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "parseapi-mcp"],
      "env": { "PARSEAPI_KEY": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

API versions

Since version 1.0.0, the package explicitly selects the API contract supported by this MCP package. Every API tool request sends Parse-Version: 2.0.0, matching this release's tool descriptions and SDK response types. The contract is fixed for both local stdio and hosted HTTP, including retries. Your key, OAuth identity and team's saved default stay the same.

For local stdio, pin the MCP package version in your application configuration and test the new release before deploying it. A future major MCP upgrade can select a newer API contract. There is no version argument to add to individual tool calls. The hosted service uses the API contract supported by its deployed MCP release.

MCP packages older than 1.0.0 keep their existing behavior and use the team's default. Keep that default unchanged while older applications depend on it. Rolling back to a package without a version header restores the team default, so rollback only restores the old contract when that default has stayed unchanged. See API versions and migration.

Tools

Full mode provides 58 local lookup tools and 57 hosted lookup tools, plus discover for local metadata and preflight for authenticated task estimates. ip_self is local only. time returns current local time and Unix seconds. It accepts a timezone or coordinates and defaults to UTC when both are omitted. date parses the supplied date, or returns today in UTC when omitted. Existing timezone calls remain supported with their original arguments. Every lookup returns the JSON the API serves.

Tools follow the lookup names: countrystates, citysearch, postalnearby, address, addresssearch, company, email, vat, iban, bin, npi, vin, naics, naicssearch, tariff, dns, asn, mac, currencyrate, and the rest. All search tools take query.

NAICS paid deep records include classification deep.exclusions, each with a description and linked codes. Generic exclusions can have no linked codes. Omitted or null exclusions in older responses remain unknown. Search results also include match: the matched field (name, term or naics) and text, plus corrections with from and to tokens for typo fallback. Corrections are empty for exact, plural and prefix matches. Direct code lookups omit match. Older responses may omit it.
