What is the Abstract API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire data enrichment and verification workflow with Abstract API, the comprehensive platform for global data intelligence. By connecting Abstract API to your agent, you transform complex validation tasks into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly geolocate IP addresses, audit email deliverability, and retrieve VAT company details without you ever touching a manual verification tool. Whether you are conducting market analysis or verifying user identity, your agent acts as a real-time data steward, ensuring your intelligence is always grounded in verified, high-quality data.
What you can do
- Geolocation Auditing — Geolocate any IP address and retrieve detailed metadata, including city, country, and ISP information.
- Email Oversight — Verify email addresses to maintain strict control over deliverability and avoid bounce rates instantly.
- Business Intelligence — Validate VAT numbers and retrieve comprehensive company profiles for compliance and due diligence.
- Financial Intelligence — Query real-time exchange rates between any currency pairs to monitor market trends.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Abstract API Key?
Log in to your Abstract API dashboard, select the API you want to use, and you will find your API Key on the settings page. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent check if an email is real?
Yes. Use the validate_email tool providing the email address. Your agent will return a deliverability score and identify if the address is a disposable or role-based email.
Is it possible to validate international VAT numbers?
Yes. The validate_vat tool allows your agent to verify VAT numbers for businesses across multiple jurisdictions, primarily in Europe.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
