BIN

Verifiable groundingFinance5 credits/callMCP
MCP toolbinlookup

Ground agents in verifiable card BIN data — issuing bank, brand, type and country — so payment and fraud decisions rest on real issuer records.

Stop stale-number hallucinations

An agent asked about prices or rates will happily invent a figure. Enable BIN and it calls the binlookup tool to check the live number before it answers — so the reply rests on real data, not the model's memory.

Ground a research or trading assistant

Give a market assistant a source it can actually cite: every figure it reports carries BIN as its origin, so a human can trace where the number came from.

Fresh at answer time

Because the model pulls bin at the moment it responds, the answer reflects the market now — not whatever was true when the model was trained.

Point your agent framework at the VerveContext endpoint. Every enabled source — this one included — becomes a tool the model can call. No per-source plumbing.

# “binlookup” is now a tool your agent can call

Each call returns structured fields your agent can read — and trace back to this source.

BIN, answered

How to ground an agent in it over MCP.

How do I give my agent BIN?
Enable it on VerveContext and point your agent framework at the VerveContext MCP endpoint. BIN then appears to the model as a tool named binlookup, which it calls when a task needs it — no per-source plumbing.
Which agents and frameworks can use it?
Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol. BIN is exposed as a standard tool, so nothing source-specific is required.
Can the agent cite BIN?
Yes. BIN is verifiable factual grounding — every value the agent pulls can carry BIN as its source, so a person (or another system) can trace where the fact came from.
How many credits does a BIN call cost?
Each call costs 5 credits. Scoped keys let you grant an agent only the sources it should reach, and usage logs show exactly what was pulled to ground each answer.
How current is the data?
BIN is served live from APIVerve's production data engine and pulled at the moment the agent calls it, so answers reflect the world now rather than the model's training cutoff.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveContext runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; BIN is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Ground your agents in BIN. Connect over MCP, enable the source, and every answer carries its receipts.
