    How to connect

    How to connect catalogapi to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://api.catalogapi.com/mcp

    check_coverageCheck 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_detailsGet detail for a single catalog item. Call this after search_rewards when someone asks about a specific item.
    how_it_worksAnswer 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_rewardsShow 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.
