The Ziptax MCP Server gives AI agents and LLM-powered applications direct access to real-time U.S. and Canadian sales tax data. MCP is an open standard that lets AI applications securely connect to external tools and data sources. Once connected, your agent can:
- Look up sales and use tax rates by postal code, street address, or geographic coordinates.
- Retrieve jurisdiction-level tax breakdowns (state, county, city, and district).
- Query account usage metrics and quota information.
You'll need a valid Ziptax API key. Create a free account atplatform.zip.tax.
Every request must include a valid API key sent as an HTTP header. Two header methods are supported.
If both are present, theX-API-KEYheader takes priority. Do not pass your API key as a URL parameter; keys in URLs can end up in logs.
Look up sales and use tax rates for a U.S. or Canadian location. Provide a full street address for door-level precision, or alat/lngpair for a geographic point lookup. Returns tax rates broken down by jurisdiction (state, county, city, district).
Provide eitheraddressfor a door-level lookup, orlatandlngfor a geographic point lookup. The input schema declares this requirement as ananyOfconstraint.
The tool response mirrors the ZiptaxREST API by Addressresponse:
{ "metadata": { "version": "v60", "response": { "code": 100, "name": "RESPONSE_CODE_SUCCESS", "message": "Successful API Request.", "definition": "http://api.zip-tax.com/request/v60/schema" } }, "baseRates": [ { "rate": 0.0725, "jurType": "US_STATE_SALES_TAX", "jurName": "CA", "jurDescription": "US State Sales Tax", "jurTaxCode": "06" }, { "rate": 0.005, "jurType": "US_COUNTY_SALES_TAX", "jurName": "ORANGE", "jurDescription": "US County Sales Tax", "jurTaxCode": "30" } ], "taxSummaries": [ { "rate": 0.0775, "taxType": "SALES_TAX", "summaryName": "Total Base Sales Tax", "displayRates": [ { "name": "Total Rate", "rate": 0.0775 } ] } ], "addressDetail": { "normalizedAddress": "200 Spectrum Center Dr, Irvine, CA 92618-5003, United States", "incorporated": "true", "geoLat": 33.65253, "geoLng": -117.74794 } }
Retrieve account usage metrics and quota information for your Ziptax account. Returns current request counts, limits, and entitlements. Takes no parameters.
Once connected, ask your agent things like:
- "What's the sales tax rate for ZIP code 90210?"
- "What's the combined sales tax rate at 200 Spectrum Center Dr, Irvine, CA?"
- "What's the sales tax rate for Canadian postal code M5V 2T6 in Toronto, Ontario?"
- "What was the sales tax rate in Nashville, TN (37203) in January of this year?"
- "How many API requests are left on my Ziptax plan this month?"
