Use with Claude Desktop
Connect Claude Desktop to Bitrefill MCP for purchasing gift cards and eSIMs.
Connect Claude Desktop to Bitrefill MCP to search for products, check prices, and make purchases directly from your conversations.
Prerequisites
- Claude Desktop installed (download)
- A Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise subscription
- A Bitrefill account
Claude Desktop uses OAuth for remote MCP servers. You'll sign in to Bitrefill when you first connect — no API key needed.
Setup
Remote MCP servers are added through the Claude Desktop UI, not the config file.
Step 1: Open Connectors Settings
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go to Settings > Connectors
- Or visit claude.ai/settings/connectors
Step 2: Add Bitrefill MCP
- Click Add custom connector at the bottom
- Enter the server URL:
https://api.bitrefill.com/mcp
- Click Add
Step 3: Authorize Access
Claude will redirect you to Bitrefill:
- Sign in to your Bitrefill account
- Review the permissions requested
- Click Approve to grant access
The connector will show as connected with a green checkmark.
Team/Enterprise Setup
Workspace owners add the connector first:
- Go to Admin settings > Connectors
- Click Add custom connector
- Enter
https://api.bitrefill.com/mcp - Click Add
Team members then connect:
- Go to Settings > Connectors
- Find "Bitrefill" under Custom connectors
- Click Connect and authorize
Using Bitrefill in Claude
Once connected, ask Claude to use Bitrefill:
"Find Netflix gift cards available in Germany"
"What eSIM options are there for a trip to Thailand?"
"Purchase a $25 Uber Eats gift card"

Alternative: API Key Setup
If you prefer to use an API key instead of OAuth:
- Generate an API key at bitrefill.com/account/developers
- When adding the connector, use this URL instead:
https://api.bitrefill.com/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY
Troubleshooting
Can't find Connectors setting
Remote MCP server support requires Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise. Free plans don't have access to custom connectors.
OAuth flow not starting
If the browser doesn't open:
- Try clicking Connect again
- Check your browser isn't blocking pop-ups
- Try using a different browser
Connection issues after authorization
If connection issues occur, try appending /sse to the URL:
