1. Catalog API (read-only JSON)

Every fulfillable plan with USD price, SKU, data amount, validity, coverage carriers and product URL. No auth, CORS-enabled.

GET https://altesim.com/api/catalog

2. MCP server (search & buy)

A Model Context Protocol server over Streamable HTTP. Tools: search_esim_plans, list_destinations, get_esim_plan, create_checkout. create_checkout returns a Stripe payment link the buyer opens — the agent never handles card data. After payment the eSIM QR code is emailed within ~1 minute.
