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.
Start here
Pick the interface your agent already uses. Hoist exposes the same Australian data through each one.
Make the first call
Get from account setup to your first PPSR or ABN check.
Read APIUse plain HTTP
Canonical endpoints, request shapes, auth, errors, and limits.
Read PPSRRun PPSR searches
Preview and dispatch org-only organisation or serial-number searches.
Read ABN/GSTVerify business identity
Look up ABN status, entity details, and GST registration signals.
Read RecordsRead search certificates
Understand certificate fingerprints, due-diligence receipts, and evidence exports.
Read MCPConnect an agent host
Use Hoist from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex CLI, and other MCP clients.
Read CLIScript checks locally
Run checks from a terminal, CI job, or agent workflow.
ReadWhat Hoist can check
| Dataset | What your agent can ask | Status |
|---|---|---|
| PPSR | Is there a registration against this organisation or serial-numbered asset? | Available first |
| ABN / GST | Does this business have a valid ABN, and is it registered for GST? | Available first |
| Search certificates | What certificate fingerprint or receipt records exist for this completed check? | Available first |
| Future Australian datasets | More business, asset, and regulatory checks. | 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--tokenorHOIST_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 ishttps://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.
