# VipUp

> VipUp is a research tool that an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client) calls to tell an online shop which of its buyers are publicly known, with a source URL and a verbatim quote for every claim. The shop uses it to recognise known customers before the parcel ships. Available in German and English for online shops.

What VipUp is not: no people search, no background checks, no influencer marketplace, no CRM, no shop app. Every check needs an order as its reason. VipUp never returns addresses, family, contact details, photos, full posts, health, religion, politics, sexuality, ethnic origin, minors or namesakes. If a person cannot be identified with confidence, VipUp says "unclear" and returns nothing more.

## How it works

- The shop connects VipUp to its assistant as an MCP server: https://app.vipup.dev/mcp
- The assistant brings the orders through its own Shopify connector; VipUp gets no shop access.
- Before each run VipUp quotes the maximum cost in credits. A check costs 1 credit, with interests 2.
- Results are deleted after the period the shop sets (default 30 days, at most 90) and are never shared between shops.
- People can object: the shop blocks their email address, and VipUp never checks it again for that shop.
