Ziptax MCP MCP server

The Ziptax MCP Server provides AI agents with direct access to real-time U.S. and Canadian sales tax data. It allows agents to look up sales and use tax rates by postal code, street address, or geographic coordinates, and retrieve detailed jurisdiction-level tax breakdowns including state, county, city, and district rates. Additionally, it enables querying account usage metrics and quota information for the associated Ziptax API account.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http ziptax-mcp https://mcp.zip-tax.com/

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add ziptax-mcp --url https://mcp.zip-tax.com/

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable ziptax-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ziptax-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.zip-tax.com/"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ziptax-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.zip-tax.com/",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start ziptax-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "ziptax-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.zip-tax.com/"
    }

Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http ziptax-mcp https://mcp.zip-tax.com/

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ziptax-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.zip-tax.com/"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ziptax-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.zip-tax.com/"
    }
  }
