API Direct — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can API Direct do?

It exposes 145 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: amazon_best_sellers, amazon_product_details, amazon_seller_products, amazon_seller_profile, amazon_seller_reviews, batch_requests and 139 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is API Direct mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around tiktok, substack and facebook. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is API Direct working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 82 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists API Direct as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect API Direct?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does API Direct need an API key?

No. API Direct completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 145 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
