Details
From the project READMEMaxMind minFraud MCP by usefulapi
Score transactions for fraud risk with MaxMind minFraud from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your MaxMind account ID + license key.
Live endpoint: https://maxmind-minfraud.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/maxmind-minfraud
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://maxmind-minfraud.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http maxmind-minfraud https://maxmind-minfraud.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"maxmind-minfraud": {
"url": "https://maxmind-minfraud.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your MaxMind minFraud credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/maxmind-minfraud/
On first connect you'll paste your MaxMind account ID and license key. It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you.

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.
