OnlineCredit Usage:5 per callTool:IFSCCodeLookupSkill

The tool

Give your agent Indian bank branch data. Call it as an MCP tool to resolve any IFSC code to its bank, branch and address.

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit MCP server, this appears in its tool list as IFSCCodeLookupSkill. It is read-only and open-world: it fetches, it never mutates anything on your side, so most clients will call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call
{
  "name": "IFSCCodeLookupSkill",
  "arguments": {
    "ifsc": "SBIN0005943"
  }
}

What that looks like in a conversation

You don't name the tool — the model picks it. Asking about SBIN0005943 in the terms this source covers is enough for it to reach for IFSCCodeLookupSkill on its own.

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth — the client opens a browser once and there is no key to paste into a config file.

Client config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Endpoint
https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp

Per-client setup — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made.

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client can read fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" on success and error is null; a null field means the value wasn't available for that input, not that the call failed.

Result
{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "bank": "State Bank of India",
    "ifsc": "SBIN0005943",
    "branch": "KASTURBA GANDHI MARG,NEW DELHI",
    "contact": "",

    "district": "NEW DELHI",

    "neft": true,
    "upi": true,
    "micr": "110002062",

  }
}

Fields

Fields marked Premium need a paid plan. On a plan without them the key is absent rather than wrong, so a model never reasons over a substituted value.

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors with a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code.

StatusWhat it means
400 / 422The arguments didn't validate. The message names the offending one.
401The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
403Out of credits. Not a bad key — the month's allowance is spent.
404This skill isn't part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
429Brief rate limit. Retrying after a moment succeeds.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to tell the agent to use IFSCCodeLookupSkill?

No. The tool's name and description are in the model's context once the server is connected, so it selects the tool when the question calls for it. Naming it explicitly works too and is useful when you want to force the call.

Does connecting the server expose every tool at once?

Yes — one connection lists the whole VerveKit catalog. Clients with a tool budget can usually filter the list; the credit cost is per call, so an unused tool costs nothing.

What does a call cost?

5 credits each time the tool actually runs. A model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Is there a REST version of this?

Yes — the same source is available as a plain HTTPS endpoint on APIVerve, linked above. Same data, same credits, same account.
