Can the AI find an address hidden inside a block of text automatically?

Yes! You can paste an entire email string or customer support note into your prompt and ask the AI: 'Extract any addresses mentioned in this text.' The agent triggers the `extract_addresses` engine to return the geolocated and sanitized address format purely.

How accurate is the address verification?

Smarty ensures the address is validated against official sources like the USPS using DPV (Delivery Point Validation) for US requests, guaranteeing a package can actually be delivered to the mapped coordinate. Your AI agent returns this rigorous underlying metadata.

Can I use the agent to fix my dataset dynamically without coding?

Yes. If you have 20 poorly formatted customer addresses, you can simply paste them in the prompt, asking your AI to 'Run each of these through Smarty and return a markdown table of the normalized addresses.' The agent handles the iteration loop for you via the tools.

About Smarty MCP Server

Connect your Smarty account to any AI agent and empower your team to sanitize raw address data, query ZIP codes, and format global street locations securely. Interact with powerful geospatial and mailing validation APIs through natural language without writing a single line of custom script.

Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Smarty tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 7 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.

What you can do

Address Validation (USA/Intl) — Effortlessly clean and verify messy user inputs calling validate_us_address, returning the Delivery Point Validation (DPV)
Text Extraction — Feed your AI unformatted text like emails or notes and run extract_addresses to intelligently isolate real physical addresses
Autocompletion Tests — Interrogate the AI dynamically with partial street names using the autocomplete_us_address algorithm
ZIP Code Checks — Validate specific 5-digit postal zones using verify_zip_code to retrieve associated municipal limits
