BillionVerify

Email verification for AI agents: verify single or bulk emails, check credits and history.

CommunicationTypeScriptv1.1.1

BillionVerify MCP Server — TypeScript

Connect any AI assistant to BillionVerify email verification via the Model Context Protocol. Built with the official MCP TypeScript SDK.


Option 1 — Hosted Server (No Installation)

Use BillionVerify's hosted MCP server. There is nothing to install and no API key to paste: you sign in with your BillionVerify account over OAuth, and the connection is tied to that account.

Server URLhttps://mcp.billionverify.com/mcp
TransportStreamable HTTP
AuthenticationOAuth 2.1 (sign in with your BillionVerify account)

The hosted server does not accept API keys (?api_key=, BV-API-KEY or Authorization: Bearer <api key> are all rejected). If you want to use an API key, use Option 2.

Detailed step-by-step guide: docs/connect-chatgpt-claude.md.

    "billionverify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.billionverify.com/mcp"
