What is the 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.

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

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Enter your Smarty Auth ID and Auth Token
Start using Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client to query your geospatial APIs directly

Stop manually typing test addresses into the Smarty sandbox or setting up Postman. Your AI agent can validate address inputs right inside your coding or chat interface.

Who is this for?

E-Commerce Devs — test the viability of formatting algorithms by parsing complex address lines dynamically in your IDE
Data Engineers — upload raw customer data lists to your AI and have it extract valid postal locations sequentially
Logistics Teams — quickly verify delivery endpoints for complex multi-unit apartment addresses internally

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
