@zapifyapi/mcp-server

Official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ZapifyAPI — gives AI agents access to 32 agent-ready tools across image conversion, text analysis, network diagnostics, developer utilities, and data conversion.

Selected from ZapifyAPI's catalogue of 40+ APIs: the tools exposed here are the ones that work well under agent control, with inputs a model can construct and outputs it can reason about.

Quick Start

1. Get your MCP token

1. Sign up at zapifyapi.com (free)
2. Go to Dashboard → MCP
3. Create an MCP token (choose permissions and spending limits)
4. Copy the token (starts with mcp_)

2. Add to your AI client

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | ZAPIFYAPI_TOKEN | Yes | Your MCP token (get from dashboard) | | ZAPIFYAPI_URL | No | API base URL (default: https://api.zapifyapi.com) |

How It Works

1. Your AI agent connects to this MCP server via stdio
2. Agent discovers tools via tools/list
3. Agent calls a tool (e.g., dns_lookup with { domain: "google.com" })
4. This server sends a POST to https://api.zapifyapi.com/v1/<your_token> with { _tool: "dns lookup", domain: "google.com" }
5. The gateway routes to the correct API handler and returns results
6. Points are deducted from your project balance

Responses

JSON results are returned as text content. Binary results — converted images, QR codes — are returned as native MCP image content, base64-encoded with the correct MIME type, so the agent receives the actual file rather than a description of it.

Errors and retries

Rate-limited requests (HTTP 429) are retried up to three times with exponential backoff and jitter. If the retries are exhausted, or any other error occurs, the error message includes your remaining point balance where the API reports it, so the agent can tell you why a call failed.

Security

• Your token is read from the ZAPIFYAPI_TOKEN environment variable and is never accepted as a tool argument, so a model cannot be prompted into echoing it into a transcript.
• The server makes no network calls other than to your configured ZAPIFYAPI_URL.
• Scope each MCP token in the dashboard to the APIs you actually want the agent to reach, and set a spending limit. Treat an MCP token like any other credential.

Token Permissions

When creating an MCP token in the dashboard, you can configure:

• All APIs — agent can use any API in the store
• Specific APIs — limit to a whitelist of APIs
• Auto-create — agent can use APIs not yet added to your project (auto-provisions them)
• Spending limit — cap ZP usage per period (e.g., 1000 ZP per month)

Pricing

Each tool call costs ZapPoints (1-50 ZP depending on the API). The free plan includes 1,000 ZP/month. See zapifyapi.com/pricing for plans.
