mcp-qris

An offline MCP server that lets your AI assistant read, check and prepare QRIS payment codes (Indonesia's national QR standard, built on EMVCo Merchant-Presented Mode). No API key, no network, no dependencies.

Example: "Here is my shop's static QRIS text: 000201010211...6304ABCD. Is it valid, and can you make a dynamic version for Rp25.000 and give me the SVG?"

Read this first. This tool only reads and rewrites text. It does not move money, it cannot see or confirm payments, and it is not connected to any bank or payment provider. A dynamic QRIS made here is only as valid as the merchant's own static QRIS it came from. Test with a small amount first. Never paste or modify someone else's QRIS without the owner's permission: changing a QRIS to collect money that is not yours is fraud.

• Offline: one .mjs file, Node.js 18+, no npm install, no network calls, no file writes.

• Input is text: paste the QRIS payload string (it starts with 000201). Decoding a photo or screenshot is out of scope; scan it with any QR reader app first.

• Honest validation: every problem is reported with a code, never silently "fixed".

Tools

All tools are read-only (readOnlyHint: true) and closed-world (openWorldHint: false).

What set_qris_amount changes

Everything else (merchant accounts, NMID, name, city, MCC, tag 62) is copied unchanged, in the same order.

Install

With npx (recommended): nothing to install. The configs below run npx -y mcp-qris.

From source:

git clone https://github.com/EzkielynaGroup/mcp-qris.git
cd mcp-qris
node --test test/        # optional: offline tests

Then use "command": "node" with "args": ["/full/path/to/mcp-qris.mjs"] instead of npx.

On Windows, if the app cannot start npx, use "command": "cmd" with "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "mcp-qris"].

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit Config (claude_desktop_config.json), then fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

claude mcp add qris -- npx -y mcp-qris

Add --scope user to make it available in every project. Check with claude mcp list.

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project), same JSON as Claude Desktop.

OpenCode

opencode.json in the project, or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "qris": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-qris"],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Configuration

No environment variables and no API key. The server never opens a network connection and never writes files.

Safety and limits

• Input is limited to 2,048 characters; EMVCo recommends at most 512, longer payloads get a warning.

• Lengths are counted in characters (EMVCo MPM 4.4.1.1); the CRC is computed over the UTF-8 bytes.

• set_qris_amount writes whole Rupiah only (1 to 13 digits) and warns above Rp10.000.000, the per-transaction QRIS limit in Bank Indonesia regulation PADG 24/1/PADG/2022 (check for newer rules).

• Already-dynamic codes are refused unless allow_dynamic_input: true, because dynamic codes are usually meant for one transaction.

• qris_to_svg never encodes an invalid QRIS: a broken code cannot be paid and only confuses buyers.

• Answers never contain stack traces; logs go to stderr only.

Standards and sources

• EMVCo, EMV QR Code Specification for Payment Systems: Merchant-Presented Mode, version 1.1, November 2020 (emvco.com): data objects, ID allocation, CRC (ISO/IEC 13239, polynomial 0x1021, initial value 0xFFFF), amount and fee formats. All field rules in validate_qris follow this document. The CRC and parser are tested against the example payload in its Annex B.

• Bank Indonesia, QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) (bi.go.id): PADG 21/18/PADG/2019 on implementing the national QR code standard for payments (and its amendments), PADG 24/1/PADG/2022 (Rp10.000.000 per-transaction limit).

• ASPI (Asosiasi Sistem Pembayaran Indonesia) maintains the QRIS technical specification. That document is distributed to industry members and was not available to us. The QRIS-specific labels in this tool (national template GUI ID.CO.QRIS.WWW, NMID in its sub-ID 02, merchant criteria UMI/UKE/UME/UBE/URE in sub-ID 03, PAN/merchant ID in sub-IDs 01/02 of tags 26-45) come from public documentation by Indonesian payment providers and open-source parsers, so treat them as descriptive, not authoritative. They only affect labels and warnings, never the CRC or structure checks.

• ISO/IEC 18004 (QR Code) for the encoder: capacities are tested against the standard byte-mode table, and the encoder was cross-checked by decoding 268 generated symbols (versions 1-40, L/M/Q/H, all 8 masks, UTF-8 text) with two independent decoders (macOS CoreImage and Vision). See tools/verify-macos.mjs.

Every QRIS in the tests is synthetic (fake merchant "TOKO CONTOH", fake NMID). No real merchant's code is included.

FAQ

How do I check if a QRIS code is valid? Paste the QRIS text into validate_qris. It checks the structure, the mandatory EMVCo fields and the CRC-16 checksum in the last 4 characters, and lists every problem it finds.

How do I turn a static QRIS into a dynamic QRIS with an amount? Use set_qris_amount with your own static QRIS and the amount in Rupiah. It sets tag 01 to 12, adds tag 54 and recomputes the CRC; then test-pay a small amount before you rely on it.

Does changing the amount in a QRIS move money or create a payment? No. A QRIS is just text that the payer's app reads; nothing is sent to a bank. The money still goes to the merchant account inside the original code, and the payer's app shows the merchant name before paying.

How is the QRIS CRC calculated? CRC-16/CCITT-FALSE: polynomial 0x1021, initial value 0xFFFF, over every character up to and including 6304, written as 4 uppercase hex digits. The check value for 123456789 is 29B1.

Where is the NMID in a QRIS? In the national QRIS merchant account template (usually tag 51, GUI ID.CO.QRIS.WWW), sub-ID 02, for example ID10.... parse_qris returns it as summary.nmid.

Can it read a QRIS from a photo? No. Scan the code with any QR reader app, copy the text, and paste it here.

Development

node --test test/

19 tests (unit tests plus end-to-end tests over MCP stdio), offline. On macOS you can repeat the encoder cross-check with tools/verify-macos.mjs and tools/verify-macos.swift. Issues and pull requests are welcome.

Bahasa Indonesia

Server MCP offline untuk membaca, memeriksa, dan menyiapkan kode pembayaran QRIS lewat asisten AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode). Tanpa API key, tanpa internet, tanpa dependensi.

Contoh: "Ini teks QRIS statis toko saya: 000201010211...6304ABCD. Valid tidak? Tolong buatkan versi dinamis Rp25.000 dan gambar SVG-nya."

Wajib dibaca. Alat ini hanya membaca dan menulis ulang teks. Tidak memindahkan uang, tidak bisa melihat atau mengonfirmasi pembayaran, dan tidak terhubung ke bank/PJSP mana pun. QRIS dinamis hasil alat ini hanya sah sejauh QRIS statis milik merchant-nya sah. Uji dulu dengan nominal kecil. Jangan menempel atau mengubah QRIS milik orang lain tanpa izin pemiliknya: mengubah QRIS untuk menerima uang yang bukan hak Anda adalah penipuan.

Tools

Instalasi: sama seperti contoh di atas. Claude Code: claude mcp add qris -- npx -y mcp-qris. Windows: "command": "cmd", "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "mcp-qris"]. Tidak ada variabel lingkungan atau API key.

Batasan: input berupa teks (bukan foto); nominal Rupiah bulat 1-13 digit; peringatan di atas Rp10.000.000 (batas per transaksi QRIS menurut PADG 24/1/PADG/2022, cek aturan terbaru); QRIS yang sudah dinamis ditolak kecuali allow_dynamic_input: true.

Sumber: spesifikasi EMVCo Merchant-Presented Mode v1.1 (November 2020) untuk struktur, field, dan CRC; Bank Indonesia (PADG 21/18/PADG/2019 beserta perubahannya, PADG 24/1/PADG/2022) untuk QRIS. Spesifikasi teknis QRIS dari ASPI tidak tersedia untuk publik, jadi label khusus QRIS (GUI ID.CO.QRIS.WWW, NMID di sub-ID 02, kriteria UMI/UKE/UME/UBE/URE) diambil dari dokumentasi publik PJSP dan parser open-source: anggap sebagai keterangan, bukan acuan baku. Semua QRIS di test adalah contoh buatan (merchant fiktif "TOKO CONTOH").

Tanya jawab

• Bagaimana cara cek QRIS valid atau tidak? Tempel teks QRIS ke validate_qris; alat memeriksa struktur, field wajib, dan CRC di 4 karakter terakhir.

• Bagaimana mengubah QRIS statis jadi dinamis dengan nominal? Pakai set_qris_amount dengan QRIS statis milik Anda sendiri, lalu uji bayar nominal kecil.

• Apakah mengubah nominal QRIS memindahkan uang? Tidak. QRIS hanya teks; uang tetap masuk ke rekening merchant yang ada di kode aslinya, dan aplikasi pembayar menampilkan nama merchant sebelum membayar.

• Di mana letak NMID? Di template QRIS nasional (biasanya tag 51, GUI ID.CO.QRIS.WWW), sub-ID 02.
