name: Raise
description: Raise is a digital gift card marketplace and commerce platform. Raise for Business exposes the Raise Commerce
  API — a REST/JSON API that lets partners programmatically browse a catalog of retailer gift card brands, purchase fixed-
  and variable-load gift cards, check and manage card balances, and reconcile transactions and commissions across 180+ currencies
  and many countries. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (server-to-server client credentials, plus app/web auth with
  SR25519/RSA key pairs, SMS, or TOTP). The API uses a JSON:API-style data envelope, page-based pagination, request metadata,
  and client_order_id idempotency. Prior investors include Accel, PayPal, and NEA.

    note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list
      derived from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported
      mcp_server correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
