    How to connect

    How to connect site to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://bagsthatpay.com/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect site to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://bagsthatpay.com/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Server tool list (32)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    dataset_columnsThe columns, which of them are numeric, the row count and the provenance banner of the Bags That Pay dataset. Call this first to learn the schema.
    dataset_searchRows of the Bags That Pay dataset whose cells contain the query (case-insensitive), up to 50.
    dataset_rowThe rows of the Bags That Pay dataset where a column equals a value exactly (case-insensitive).
    dataset_compareThe rows of the Bags That Pay dataset whose column is any of the given values, in the order given — for "X vs Y" questions.
    dataset_statscount, min, max, mean, median and sum of a numeric column of the Bags That Pay dataset (grouping commas and currency are handled; non-numeric rows are excluded and counted).
    dataset_topThe highest (or lowest) rows of the Bags That Pay dataset by a numeric column — "which is the most/least X".
    dataset_provenanceThe source, the date it was computed, the licence and the citation for the Bags That Pay dataset. Read this to attribute a figure correctly.
    entities_schemaWhich fields the Bags That Pay register register carries and on how many entities, the regions and services, the identifier schemes, and how to cite it. Call this first.
    entity_lookupThe Bags That Pay register entry for a firm, by its register identifier (scheme + value, e.g. lei) or by the slug of its page. Exact match; returns the whole record with its page.
    entities_searchEntities of Bags That Pay register whose name, commercial name, website, address or authority contains the query, optionally within a region (id or name) and a service (slug or name). Up to 50 rows.
    entities_inThe Bags That Pay register entities in one region (a state or a jurisdiction, by id or name), optionally for one service, 50 a page.
    entities_exportEvery entity of Bags That Pay register, 200 a page, with provenance. Needs an access key (Authorization: Bearer); export pages are metered per key per day. Without a key the answer says how to get one.
    listing_describeWhat a listing on Bags That Pay is, what it costs, how it is paid, who publishes it, and every profile field it takes. Read this to the person first.
    listing_termsThe clauses a listing is judged by, their version (send it back as termsVersion), and every profile field the directory takes.
    agent_session_startGive a Solana address; get the exact message to sign. A signature, not a transaction: no fee, nothing moves. Then call agent_session_verify with the base64 signature.
    agent_session_verifyThe address, the exact message from agent_session_start and its base64 Ed25519 signature. Returns a session token to pass as `session` to every later call (valid 30 days, revocable from the account page).
    claim_startNames the entry (scheme + value, e.g. lei); returns the proof domain the register lists and the token to place as a TXT record, a well-known file, or via a verified email there.
    claim_verifyThe server reads DNS, the well-known file and the verified email; verified claims are badges on the profile.
    claim_statusEvery claim of this account with its status and, while pending, the instructions.
    listing_draftCreates a listing draft on Bags That Pay. Send the fullest profile you can (listing_describe lists the fields); a scam-shaped or off-list field is refused by name. Returns the listing id and status awaiting_payment.
    listing_pay_cardReturns a Stripe Checkout URL at the site's price. A human completes it in a browser; the site learns of payment from Stripe's verified event, never from the browser.
    listing_pay_stripeSend a Stripe payment method id (pm_...) the agent is entitled to use; the server charges the SITE's price off-session. Answers succeeded (the listing enters review) or requires_action (use listing_pay_card for a human); never charges an amount you name.
    listing_pay_usdcReturns the Solana Pay transfer request: recipient, exact amount, USDC mint and a unique reference. Pay it from the wallet (include the reference as a read-only key), then call listing_confirm_usdc.
    listing_confirm_usdcThe SERVER finds the transfer by reference and reads the treasury's balance change; a short or wrong-token transfer is reported by name and not credited. On success the listing enters review.
    listing_statusEvery listing of this account with its status (awaiting_payment, pending_review, published, refused, withdrawn, expired).
    listing_withdrawTakes down a listing of this account.
    listings_publishedWhat firms have added on top of the register (published rows only), optionally for one register entry.
    placements_activeThe Sponsored slot's contents for a page (home | region | leaf); labelled as sponsored in the answer.
    claim_publicWhether an entry has a verified claim, by which proof and when — never by whom.
    enquiry_describeRead first. States plainly what submit_enquiry does on Bags That Pay: it starts an enquiry with human providers who quote directly. Nothing is bought, ordered or paid; no quote is guaranteed; it is free. Also returns who receives the details, the consent wording, and how the person confirms.
    enquiry_fieldsEvery field of the Bags That Pay enquiry: key, label, type, whether required, help text and the allowed options where there are any. Pass answers to submit_enquiry keyed by field key.
    submit_enquirySubmits an enquiry to Bags That Pay — NOT a purchase, NOT a guaranteed quote. Step 1: call with the answers (keyed by field key from enquiry_fields) and consent=true; it validates and returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token — show the person the summary and the consent line. Step 2: only if the person agrees, call again with the same answers, consent=true and the confirmation token; the enquiry is then submitted, and the person receives an email with a link they must click before any provider sees it. Consent means the person has read and agreed to: "By submitting you agree Bags That Pay passes your question to the issuer or data provider you asked about."
