@validatefin/mcp

MCP server to validate SEPA, UBL/Peppol, camt.052/053/054 and ACH/NACHA e-invoice / payment files — 100% locally, no data leaves your machine. Powered by ValidateFin.

Tools

• validate_sepa — SEPA Credit Transfer (pain.001) & Direct Debit (pain.008): validates against the official ISO 20022 XSD schemas and the EPC Rulebook business rules (IBAN mod-97, BIC, SEPA character set, mandates, Creditor Scheme Identifier, control sums).

• validate_ubl — UBL / Peppol BIS Billing 3.0: runs the official EN 16931 + Peppol BIS 3.0 Schematron — the same rule sets used by the official European e-invoicing validators — and returns the failed business rules with their official IDs (BR-, BR-CO-, Peppol rules). Accepts both the UBL and CII syntaxes (auto-detected).

• validate_xrechnung — German XRechnung (the German CIUS of EN 16931, mandatory for B2G): runs the official EN 16931 core Schematron + the KoSIT XRechnung BR-DE rules — the same rule sets as the official German validator. Accepts UBL and CII. Returns failed rules with their IDs (BR-, BR-DE-).

• validate_camt — ISO 20022 camt cash-management file — camt.053 (bank-to-customer statement), camt.052 (account report / intraday) or camt.054 (debit/credit notification), versions .02/.06/.08/.10/.11: extracts account, balances and entries (camt.053 also validated against the official ISO 20022 XSD schema).

• convert_mt940 — convert a legacy SWIFT MT940 bank statement (Customer Statement Message) to an ISO 20022 camt.053.001.02 XML statement: parses the balances and transactions, checks that opening balance + turnover = closing balance (RC/RD reversals handled), and returns the camt.053 XML.

• validate_ach — US ACH / NACHA file (fixed-width Nacha format): validates the 94-character record structure (File Header, Batch Header, Entry Detail, Addenda, Batch/File Control), the ABA routing-number check digit (3-7-1), the entry hash, and all batch & file control totals (debits, credits, entry/addenda count, block count).

• validate_iban — IBAN (mod-97 checksum, country & length).

• generate_camt_test — generate a camt.053 test statement from a pain.001 / pain.008 file.

The XML validation tools take the file content as xml (a string) and return the result (valid/invalid, errors, summary) as JSON. validate_ach and convert_mt940 take the raw file as content, validate_iban takes an iban string, and generate_camt_test and convert_mt940 return the generated camt.053 XML.
