Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Addressfinder

Ask your AI whether an address is real, to finish a half-typed address, or whether an email address or phone number is valid. It uses Addressfinder to suggest and verify addresses in Australia and New Zealand, suggest addresses in other countries, look up localities and places, and return full address details such as postcode and coordinates.

Try asking

“Is '12 queen st auckland' a real address? Give me the official version.”

“Clean up this Australian address: 1/45 george st sydney nsw”
It verifies the address and returns the matched official Australian address.
“Find the address that starts with '100 Collins St, Melb'.”
It suggests matching Australian addresses, then gets the full details of the one you pick, including postcode and optional GPS coordinates.

What your AI can do

Address autocomplete

Suggest matching addresses for partial text in Australia, New Zealand and other countries, and get the full structured details of the one you choose.

Address verification

Verify and clean up complete Australian and New Zealand addresses given as free text, and look up localities, streets and New Zealand places.

Email and phone checks

Check whether an email address is valid and deliverable without sending anything, and whether a phone number is valid, with its line type.

“Is [email protected] deliverable?”
It checks the syntax, domain and mailbox and tells you whether the address is valid. No email is sent.
“Check this New Zealand number: 021 123 4567”
It checks whether the number is valid, with NZ as the default country, and returns its formatted versions and line type.
“Which addresses are closest to latitude -36.8485, longitude 174.7633?”
It finds the New Zealand addresses nearest to that point on the map.

Questions

What can the AI do in Addressfinder?

It can autocomplete and look up addresses in Australia, New Zealand and other countries, verify complete Australian and New Zealand addresses, look up localities, streets and New Zealand places, find New Zealand addresses near a map point, and check email addresses and phone numbers. It only looks things up and does not change anything in your Addressfinder account.

Does the AI see my Addressfinder API key and secret?

No. Your Addressfinder API key and secret are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, for example only autocomplete and address details. Because Addressfinder bills lookups per verified result, tools like address verification can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Addressfinder account, and Addressfinder bills its lookups per verified result.

Which countries does it cover?

Address verification and location lookups cover Australia and New Zealand, and New Zealand also has place search and nearest-address lookup from a map point. Address autocomplete and address details also work for other countries, using the country's ISO code.
