About Brandfetch
Brandfetch is an official MCP server for AI assistants that need brand assets and company information. It combines brand lookup, batch retrieval, transaction merchant identification, and LLM-ready brand context, with an interactive brand card on supported MCP Apps hosts.
Key features
- 01Search brands by name
- 02Retrieve company and brand records
- 03Fetch up to 25 brands per call
- 04Identify brands from transaction strings
- 05Get LLM-ready brand context
- 06Render interactive brand cards
Use cases
- 01Find a brand by name or domain
- 02Build logo walls and company comparisons
- 03Identify merchants in bank statements
- 04Apply brand voice and positioning context
MCP support
Exposes Brandfetch search, brand data, asset URL, transaction enrichment, and context tools to MCP clients. The `get_brand` response can render an interactive card on MCP Apps hosts.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
brand_search | Search for brands by name using Brandfetch's search index. |
get_brand | Look up full brand data by domain, email, ticker, ISIN, or crypto symbol; renders the interactive brand card on MCP Apps hosts. |
get_brand_data | The same brand data with no card — for data that feeds generated content, or one brand's full record. |
get_brands | Up to 25 brands in one call, as compact records with no card — for logo walls, comparison tables, and lists of companies. |
enrich_transaction | Identify a merchant brand from a credit-card or bank-statement string. |
get_brand_context | Get LLM-ready brand context for a domain — voice, audience, positioning, style. |
build_logo_urls | Construct Brandfetch Logo CDN URLs for one or more brands (no API call). |
send_feedback | Report bugs, wrong or stale brand data, or missing capabilities to Brandfetch. |
Interactive brand card (MCP Apps)
On hosts that support the MCP Apps extension
(claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ...), get_brand results render as an interactive
brand card: logo preview, format switcher (SVG/PNG/WebP/...), download and
copy-URL actions. Hosts without Apps support fall back to the regular JSON tool
result. get_brand_data returns the same brand data without the card, and
get_brands fetches several brands in one call, so a logo wall of six brands is
one batch call rather than six cards; the model picks between the three by their
descriptions. The widget source lives in
ui/ and is served by the server as the
ui://brandfetch/brand-card.html resource.
Quick start (hosted server)
The easiest way to use this server is to connect to the Brandfetch-hosted endpoint — no install, no infrastructure:
https://mcp.brandfetch.io/mcp
Authentication uses a Brandfetch MCP token (a bf1. bearer token). Generate one
from the Keys and MCP page in the
Brandfetch dashboard, or connect via OAuth
from a client that supports it.

{
"mcpServers": {
"brandfetch": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.brandfetch.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer bf1.YOUR_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project .cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"brandfetch": {
"url": "https://mcp.brandfetch.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer bf1.YOUR_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
Clients that support OAuth can instead point at https://mcp.brandfetch.io/mcp
with no token and complete the authorization flow in the browser.
Quota errors
get_brand, get_brand_data, get_brands, enrich_transaction, and get_brand_context consume
API credits from your plan; brand_search and build_logo_urls don't and keep working
when your credits run out. get_brands uses one credit per brand it returns; every
other result is free.
- 429 "API quota exhausted" — your key has used all of its API credits. Check usage or upgrade in the Brandfetch dashboard.
- 429 "Not enough API credits left for this batch" —
get_brandsasked for more brands than your key has credits left; nothing was charged. Ask for fewer brands. - 403 "Batch lookups need a paid plan or prepaid credits" —
get_brandsis not available on the free plan;get_brand_datafetches the same brands one at a time. - 403 "Forbidden" — the key has no available API credits or lacks access to that endpoint. The key itself may be valid, so check your plan and key status in the dashboard before rotating it.
Self-hosting
This is an HTTP (streamable-http) MCP server built with FastMCP. You can run your own instance with Docker.
docker build -t brandfetch-mcp-server .
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 brandfetch-mcp-server
The server then listens on http://localhost:8080/mcp. Point your MCP client at
that URL and send your Brandfetch credentials as a Bearer token.
The
Dockerfilebundles the AWS Lambda Web Adapter and a fewAWS_LWA_*environment variables. These are inert outside of AWS Lambda and can be ignored (or removed) for a plain container/host deployment.
Running without Docker
uv sync
uv run uvicorn src.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
Development
Requires uv and Python 3.11.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
