Email, EU VAT, IBAN, and domain validation plus evidence-backed U.S. CPSC recall screening.

Developer ToolsTypeScriptv0.1.1

looktwice-mcp

npm version license MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the LookTwice API. Validate emails, EU VAT numbers, IBANs, and domains, and screen products against U.S. CPSC recalls and Product Safety Warnings — directly from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.

npx -y looktwice-mcp

Setup

  1. Create a LookTwice account at looktwice.dev — verified accounts receive 100 free API units each month, no credit card required.
  2. Create an API key in the dashboard.
  3. Add the server to your MCP client configuration:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "looktwice": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "looktwice-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LOOKTWICE_API_KEY": "lt_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Compared with a single-purpose MCP

Most VAT or email MCP servers wrap one upstream. This server keeps the same evidence rules across email, VIES, IBAN, domain, and CPSC: timestamps, official sources, and no mailbox / account / safety claims.

Honest boundaries

  • email_check never claims a mailbox exists (mailbox_status: not_checked).
  • iban_check never claims an account exists or belongs to a person.
  • cpsc_recall_match returns screening candidates with official sources, not safety, legality, or compliance decisions.
