Security Report

5.3
Moderate5.3Moderate Risk

This is a focused MCP wrapper for the IBANgen REST API with no shell execution, no filesystem access, and no hardcoded secrets; the API key is read from an environment variable and sent only to the documented API host. The main concerns are low-severity: the IBANGEN_API_BASE_URL override could redirect the API key to an arbitrary host, and the metered-spend confirmation flags can be set by the model itself rather than verified by the user. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

ibangen-mcp

Official MCP server for IBANgen, the IBAN generator and validator for payment testing.

MCP server that gives AI agents IBANgen tools for IBAN and US bank account test data.

ToolKey neededWhat it does
validate_ibansNo (10 IBANs per call, small daily allowance per IP)Country format, length and MOD-97 checksum. Paid keys add bank, BIC and SEPA Instant / VoP reachability.
generate_test_ibansNo for country-level IBANs (10 a day per IP); a key for more and for bank targetingSynthetic, checksum-valid test IBANs; optional seed and bank targeting (paid key).
lookup_bankYes (bank-intelligence plan)BIC or domestic identifier to registry records with sources.
generate_us_test_accountsYes (free key is sufficient)1–10 US routing/account test rows; optional reproducible seed; no paid reveal or targeting.
validate_us_routing_numbersYes (qualifying registry plan)1–10 routing numbers through the existing metered registry API; requires explicit approval of up to one API credit per distinct number.
lookup_us_routing_numberYes (existing API entitlement gates)Source-backed routing lookup; requires explicit approval of one API credit.

For assistants without MCP, the same product map is published as plain text at https://ibangen.com/llms.txt and https://ibangen.com/llms-full.txt.

Generated IBANs are test data only. A valid IBAN does not prove that an account exists. US account numbers are synthetic; routing references do not establish live ACH, Fedwire or account eligibility. The metered US tools do not replace the free web preview and do not bypass bank metadata gates. They never automatically retry a transport failure, because a credit may already have been consumed.

Remote server (nothing to install)

Add https://ibangen.com/api/mcp as a custom connector in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or VS Code (Streamable HTTP, no key needed to start; send Authorization: Bearer <API key> for paid-plan limits). It offers validate_ibans, generate_test_ibans, bank_test_ibans (free sample IBANs, BIC and bank code of one bank), iban_format and calculate_iban.
