BODACC MCP Server

README.md
# @pipeworx/bodacc
French official business-events bulletin (BODACC — Bulletin officiel des
annonces civiles et commerciales): dated notices per company — creations,
insolvency proceedings (redressement/liquidation judiciaire), business
sales/transfers, deregistrations, modifications, and annual account filings.
Part of [Pipeworx](https://pipeworx.io) — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1667+ live data sources.
## Tools
- `bodacc_company_events(siren | name, event_type?)` — full BODACC event
history for one company, newest first. `siren` is the same 9-digit id used
by the `entreprises-fr` and `insee` packs — chain a SIREN looked up there
straight into this tool (or the reverse).
- `bodacc_search(q?, event_type?, departement?, since?, until?, siren?)` —
open-ended search across all BODACC notices by free text, event family,
département, date range, and/or SIREN.
- `bodacc_insolvency_feed(since, until?, departement?)` — insolvency-only
(`familleavis=collective`) notices published since a date, newest first.
Built for polling/monitoring with an advancing `since`.
- `bodacc_get_notice(id)` — a single notice by its BODACC id.
## Auth
Keyless. The upstream (DILA's Opendatasoft portal) requires no registration
or API key for read access to this dataset.
## Data sources
- <https://bodacc-datadila.opendatasoft.com/api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/annonces-commerciales/records>
— the live BODACC records API (Opendatasoft Explore v2.1). ~50M+ rows,
updated as new bulletins publish (daily, business days).
Traps:
- **`offset + limit` is capped at 10,000** for this dataset (confirmed live:
`offset=9999&limit=2` → 400 `InvalidRESTParameterError`). `total_count` in
the API response is NOT capped — only how far pagination can reach into it
is. Every tool here reports `total_count`, `count` (rows actually
returned), and a `truncated` flag (`offset + limit >= 10000` while
`total_count` exceeds it) so a caller never reads the cap as the true
count. Narrow with `event_type` / `departement` / a date range to stay
under the cap on a broad query.
- **`registre` is an array**, not a scalar — `["805243102", "805 243 102"]`
(digits-only and space-grouped forms of the same SIREN). ODSQL
`registre="805243102"` matches against the array directly; this pack always
strips spaces from an input SIREN before building that filter, and reads
`registre[0]` (digits-only) back out when shaping a record.
- **Most upstream fields are per-family, not universal.** `jugement` is
populated for insolvency/conciliation notices, `acte` for
creations/sales, `radiationaurcs` for deregistrations,
`modificationsgenerales` for modifications, `depot` for account filings —
the others are `null` on a given row. Each is itself a JSON-encoded
*string*, not a nested object; this pack parses whichever of them are
non-null into a single `detail` object per notice rather than exposing raw
upstream field names.
- **`familleavis` codes** (pass to `event_type`): `creation`,
`immatriculation`, `collective` (insolvency), `conciliation`,
`retablissement_professionnel`, `modification`, `radiation`, `dpc`
(account filings), `vente` (sale/transfer), `divers`. Source of truth:
the `ac_mapping_famille_avis` dataset on the same Opendatasoft domain.
- Free-text search (`search(commercant, "...")`) matches on the `commercant`
field only (company/person name as filed) — it does not search notice
body text (activity description, judgment text, etc).
- Every call here hits the upstream endpoint directly, per request: the API is
keyless, has no meaningful rate limit for normal query volumes, and a
`since`-bounded monitoring query naturally stays well under the 10k
pagination cap.
## Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bodacc": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bodacc/mcp"
}
}
}
```
### What this endpoint actually serves
`tools/list` at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bodacc/mcp` returns the tools in the table
above **plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools** — `ask_pipeworx`,
`discover_tools`, `search_within`, `remember`/`recall` and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's `initialize` response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
`ask_pipeworx`, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed
directly, instead of just this one's:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1667+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed **directly**; `ask_pipeworx`
reaches all of them from either one.
## No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
```bash
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/bodacc_company_events \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"siren":"805243102"}'
```
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: `GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/bodacc_company_events`. Find one: `POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs` with `{"query":"..."}`.
## Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no
gateway round-trip:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bodacc": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-bodacc"]
}
}
}
```
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
```bash
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-bodacc
```
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers `initialize`/`tools/list`/`tools/call`
for **only** this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
## Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English —
this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
```
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Bodacc data" })
```
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
