Overview

What is IBANforge?

IBANforge is an IBAN validation and BIC/SWIFT lookup API with SEPA compliance data, issuer classification, risk indicators, x402 micropayments, and native MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for AI agents. It is designed for developers and financial applications that need to verify bank account numbers, identify issuing institutions, and assess counterparty risk.

How to use IBANforge?

To self-host, clone the repository, run npm install, copy .env.example to .env, and execute npm run dev. For MCP integration, add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop or AI agent config with the command npx tsx src/mcp/server.ts and the correct working directory. The server exposes tools: validate_iban, batch_validate_iban, and lookup_bic.

FAQ from IBANforge

What data sources does IBANforge use?

BIC/SWIFT entries come from the GLEIF BIC-LEI mapping, with LEI enrichment via the GLEIF API. Country names use Node.js Intl.DisplayNames.

What is the cost of using IBANforge?

Per-call micropayments start from $0.002 for batch validation and $0.005 for single IBAN validation, paid in USDC through the x402 protocol.

Can I self-host IBANforge?

Yes. IBANforge includes a Dockerfile and SQLite database. Set the required environment variables WALLET_ADDRESS and FACILITATOR_URL for production use.
