How to access launches through API or MCP
Connect your application or AI assistant to VIP Life Retail via REST API or our MCP server for seamless integration.
Updated
Direct API access
We present a REST API at /api/v1, with full OpenAPI 3.1 documentation available at /api/v1/openapi.json. This allows you to integrate launches and listings into your own systems and workflows. The technical specification is published at /developers.
Connecting an AI assistant
AI assistants—including Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible clients—may connect through our remote MCP server at /mcp. Your assistant can search our current launches and examine individual listings. If you grant permission, it can also draft and manage your own listings through the service.
Authentication
You may authenticate using OAuth, which prompts a sign-in page on this site, or via a personal API key obtained from /account/developers. Keys display once only upon creation; thereafter, only a cryptographic hash is retained by our system.
Commercial terms
Rate limits and daily quotas apply to all API traffic. Any charges are processed directly through our checkout, with payment links returned by the API itself. Voting on launches is not available through the API.
For detailed technical guidance, consult /developers.
