ReefAPI MCP

Official

ReefAPI MCP

One MCP server for 160+ live web-data APIs — search engines, social media, e-commerce, real estate, jobs, travel, news, finance, and company/domain/people intelligence. The assistant discovers the right engine, then pulls clean JSON from sites that block scrapers (captcha, login, JS, anti-bot).

Why one server, not 160 tools

Emitting one tool per API blows past the ~30–50-tool ceiling where agents stop picking the right tool. ReefAPI uses dynamic discovery — 4 generic tools let the assistant find the right engine, then call it:

Tool

Keyless

What it does

search_engines(query)

Find the right engine by intent ("company reviews", "is this domain free")

get_catalog()

The full menu of every engine, grouped by category

get_engine_schema(engine)

An engine's actions, params, and return shapes

get_action_schema(engine, action)

Full params for one action

call_engine(engine, action, params)

🔑

Run it → clean { ok, data, meta, error } JSON

Discovery is keyless; only call_engine needs a key. Failed or blocked calls cost nothing.

Add to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any client that takes a remote MCP URL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reefapi": {
      "url": "https://api.reefapi.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_REEFAPI_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (CLI):

claude mcp add --transport http reefapi https://api.reefapi.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REEFAPI_KEY"

Get a free key (1,000 credits, no card) at https://reefapi.com.

Run it locally (stdio)

pip install -r requirements.txt
export REEFAPI_KEY=ak_live_your_key   # Windows: set REEFAPI_KEY=...
python server.py                      # stdio transport

Then point your client at python /path/to/server.py. The same file also serves the streamable-HTTP transport with MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http (used by the hosted endpoint above).
