@pipeworx/regon-pl

Polish business register (REGON / BIR1.1) — resolve any Polish company by NIP, REGON or KRS number to its registered name, legal address and entity type, from Statistics Poland's official register.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1866+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

• regon_search_nip({ nip, environment, _apiKey }) — by tax identification number.

• regon_search_regon({ regon, environment, _apiKey }) — by 9- or 14-digit REGON statistical number.

• regon_search_krs({ krs, environment, _apiKey }) — by National Court Register number.

All three return the registered name, the other two identifiers, entity type (legal person / sole trader / local unit), voivodeship, county, municipality, locality, postcode and registered address.

Auth

Platform key (PLATFORM_REGON_KEY) with BYO override via ?_apiKey=, plus a credential-free test path.

• environment: "production" (default) — the live register. Requires an API key. Register free at https://api.stat.gov.pl/Home/RegonApi; GUS issues a 20-character user key.

• environment: "test" — GUS's own public test service with the test key GUS publishes in its documentation. Needs no credential and genuinely answers, but from a small fixed fixture database (addresses read "ul. Test-Wilcza"). Use it to check the response shape, never for a fact about a real company. Every response from it carries a disclaimer field saying so.

Data sources

• https://wyszukiwarkaregon.stat.gov.pl/wsBIR/UslugaBIRzewnPubl.svc — production BIR1.1.

• https://wyszukiwarkaregontest.stat.gov.pl/wsBIR/UslugaBIRzewnPubl.svc — test BIR1.1.

Traps

• SOAP 1.2 over MTOM, not REST. Two calls per query: Zaloguj exchanges the user key for a session id, then the search carries it.

• The session id goes in an HTTP sid header, not in the SOAP envelope. Put it in the envelope and the service authenticates you as nobody and returns an empty result with no error.

• A no-match is not an empty document. It is a populated <dane> record whose only fields are ErrorCode 4 and ErrorMessageEn "No data found for the specified search criteria". Parsed naively that is one result with every field null — a textbook silent zero. This pack detects ErrorCode and reports found: false with the upstream message.

• An unrecognised user key is reported as an empty ZalogujResult, not as an HTTP error. The pack raises on it explicitly.

• Responses are MIME-multipart with the payload as an XML-escaped string inside the SOAP result element — it needs unwrapping twice.

• Sessions are cached in worker memory for 30 minutes (upstream allows ~60).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "regon-pl": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/regon-pl/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/regon-pl/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:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1866+ 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

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/regon_search_nip \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"nip":"7740001454","environment":"test"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/regon_search_nip. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-regon-pl is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/regon-pl/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "regon-pl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-regon-pl"]
    }
  }
}

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

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 Regon Pl data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
