Tools it offers

7 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • supplier_compareUse when a supplier announces a price increase or surcharge, sends a new price list or quote, or the user asks whether prices went up since last time. Compares the old basis with the new list per SKU. The old side can be
  • documents_tablesExtracts tables from a text-based PDF (price list, data sheet, report; up to 20 MiB, 60 pages) with page, bounding box and a quality level per table. Detects header rows, titles and footnotes and merges tables continued
  • merchant_validateChecks a product feed or catalog export for Google Merchant Center, Shopify or Meta (Facebook/Instagram) before upload. Validates CSV, TSV or XLSX against the platform profile: required fields, allowed values (with a hin

What is the Boring API MCP server?

Deterministic data tools: price list diff, PDF tables, feed validation, data mapping, table diff. It is made by relaex-engineers.de and listed in the official MCP Registry as de.relaex-engineers/boring-api. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Boring API to Claude?

In the Claude app or claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector" and paste https://api.relaex-engineers.de/mcp. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http boring-api https://api.relaex-engineers.de/mcp

How do I add Boring API to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can use remote MCP servers as connectors. In ChatGPT settings, under Apps and Connectors, turn on developer mode if asked, create a new connector and paste https://api.relaex-engineers.de/mcp.
