🔌 MCP Servervatnode
An MCP server for real-time EU VAT validation and comprehensive European VAT rate lookups.
vatnode-mcp is a specialized MCP server designed to bridge the gap between AI agents and European tax compliance data. It provides a robust suite of five tools: 'validate_vat_number' for live VIES integration (returning company details and audit-ready consultation numbers), 'get_country_vat_rates', 'list_eu_vat_rates', 'check_vat_format', and 'list_supported_countries'.
A key innovation is its hybrid architecture: while it supports live VIES API calls for real-time verification, four of its five tools function entirely offline using a bundled dataset from 'eu-vat-rates-data'. This ensures high availability and performance for tax rate lookups. The project emphasizes security and transparency, being released under the MIT license with full npm provenance via GitHub Actions OIDC. It is designed for easy integration into any MCP-compliant environment, installable via 'npx -y vatnode-mcp'.
