Australian data for integrators building AI agents.
Connect your agent to Australian source data without building the register plumbing yourself. Hoist checks enabled sources and returns a source-cited Evidence Card with timestamps, risk flags, and review notes through API, CLI, or MCP. Evidence Pack exports are separate prelaunch samples with fixture or unsearched rows.
What your agent can ask Hoist
- "Can this vehicle and ABN be checked together?"
- "Is this invoice counterparty registered, and what evidence still needs an external PPSR check?" (Hoist cannot currently answer the PPSR part; use AFSA direct.)
- "Can Hoist check this asset on PPSR?" (Not currently; use AFSA direct.)
- "Can Hoist show what changed since we last checked this counterparty?" (Not currently for entities or assets.)
- "Is this business entity GST-registered at the stated ABN?"
Live ABN/GST calls and checks backed by a loaded, complete, trusted snapshot return source-cited fields and review context; missing snapshots return source_unavailable. The separate sample Evidence Pack export is prelaunch; its ABR, GST, VIN, and PPSR rows are fixture or unsearched, not source results.
Three access surfaces
| Surface | When to use | Status |
|---|---|---|
REST APIapi.hoistai.com/v1/ | Apps, backends, custom agents, and automation tools. | Account access |
CLIbuild from source (npm soon) | Shell scripts, local checks, and repeatable terminal checks. | Account access |
MCPmcp.hoistai.com/mcp | Agent hosts that support MCP. Live ABR/GST and loaded, trusted snapshot-backed checks require account access; missing snapshots return source_unavailable. PPSR preview and paid search are not currently customer-accessible. | PPSR unavailable |
Hoist sets up API, CLI, and MCP access directly. Live ABR/GST calls and snapshot-backed checks depend on account setup and source availability. Currently live ABR/GST calls are free; snapshot-backed calls are free once each required snapshot is loaded and trusted. No billing setup is required.
What works now
Build register connections, access limits, audit logs, and price confirmation yourself.
With account access, connect Hoist through API, CLI, or MCP. Access limits and the Evidence Card schema are built in. Your agent asks the question. Hoist returns the source-cited answer.
Agent runs Hoist can support
One config snippet, source-cited answers
With account access, connect through API, CLI, or MCP for live ABR/GST and snapshot-backed source checks once each required snapshot is complete and trusted; missing sources return source_unavailable. PPSR preview and explicit-confirmation mechanics are implemented but not currently customer-accessible; preview requests fail closed.
Counterparty risk agent
With account access, build an agent around available ABN workflows. The ppsr_search schema documents preview and search contracts, but both currently fail closed without a price or register dispatch.
Source access stays explicit
With account access, use the API for applications that need live ABR/GST or loaded, trusted snapshot-backed source checks. Your platform can forward the returned source-cited fields and review context. Currently live ABR/GST calls are free; snapshot-backed calls are free once their required snapshots are loaded and trusted.
Current surface
- REST API:
api.hoistai.com/v1/with account access. - CLI: build from source (npm publish coming soon) with account access.
- MCP endpoint:
mcp.hoistai.com/mcpwith account access. - Paid PPSR searches and pricing are not currently available through Hoist; account access and confirmation do not make them available.
- Sample Evidence Pack responses are available from the public sandbox page.
Supported hosts
Hoist is designed for MCP-compatible hosts, custom agents, backend services, and terminal checks. Custom agents connect via API, CLI, or MCP when supported by their runtime.
* Your AI tool of choice: Hoist is model-agnostic. It works through MCP, API, and CLI. Host availability depends on the AI tool or agent runtime. See the Connector docs for the current host guide list.
Pricing
Live ABN/GST calls are free; snapshot-backed workflows are free once their required trusted snapshots load, with no billing setup. Any future paid source would need a separately proved price and confirmation path; paid PPSR is unavailable. See /pricing for the current posture.
FAQ
01Can we connect through API, CLI, or MCP?
Yes. Hoist exposes a REST API for apps and backends, a CLI for terminal checks, and an MCP endpoint for agent hosts that support MCP. Supported non-PPSR source checks require account access; Hoist PPSR calls remain unavailable.
02What does an Evidence Pack contain?
The current Evidence Pack export is a prelaunch sample. Every ABR, GST, VIN, and PPSR row is fixture or unsearched, not a source result, verification, certificate, or clearance.
Other use cases
Preview the response shape.
The sandbox shows the separate prelaunch Evidence Pack sample shape. API, CLI, and MCP checks return their own verification responses; live ABR/GST is available with account access, while snapshot-backed checks require complete trusted data and fail closed with source_unavailable until loaded. Ask for API access if you want Hoist in your agent run.
