mcp · getapinl — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects Dutch public registries to your coding agent: BAG addresses, RDW vehicle checks, IBAN validation, and EU VAT lookup.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://api.getapi.nl/mcpWhat mcp does
This package turns GetApi endpoints into native tools for AI agents. It checks the official OpenAPI specification every hour to keep the available tool list in sync. Assistants query Kadaster BAG property records, look up vehicle records in the RDW registry, and inspect domain DNS entries directly.
Running the local process requires Node.js 20 LTS alongside a valid GetApi token. Credentials pass exclusively through the API_KEY environment variable. The process scrubs the secret from all console logs to prevent sensitive data exposure.
Payloads are restricted to 1 MB with an execution timeout of 10 seconds. Without an API_KEY starting with ga_live_ or ga_test_, the server terminates immediately on startup.
What it helps with
- look up property records using Dutch BAG postcode data
- fetch vehicle specifications through RDW license plates
- validate European VAT numbers and IBAN identifiers
- retrieve domain DNS records and IP details
Example prompts for the agent
- Look up property details for Dutch postal code 1012 JS, house number 1.
- Validate this EU VAT number using the GetApi endpoint.
- Check vehicle specifications for this Dutch license plate via RDW.
