Add Australian data to your AI agent.

Use Hoist through API, MCP, or CLI. Start with PPSR and ABN checks. More Australian datasets are coming.

Authentication

REST API and CLI use Hoist Assets API keys. MCP uses OAuth consent and stores a scoped access token for the AI host.

  • REST API and CLI - use API keys. API calls send Authorization: Bearer $HOIST_ASSETS_API_KEY; CLI calls pass the same key with --token or HOIST_ASSETS_API_KEY.
  • MCP - uses OAuth consent so a human can approve scopes for an AI host. Use https://mcp.assets.hoistai.com/mcp; the issuer is https://mcp.assets.hoistai.com. The host stores its scoped access token and sends it with future MCP requests.

Production behavior is gated: GET /v1/_health is public, protected API endpoints return 401 without an API key or OAuth bearer token, and PPSR/ABN source checks run only for approved accounts.

Useful links

Plain rule: use the API when you own the code path, MCP when an agent host needs tools, and the CLI when you want something scriptable.
