An MCP server for European invoicing rules. Query VAT rates, e-invoicing requirements, format specifications, and compliance rules for EU-27 + EEA countries — directly from your AI assistant.
European invoicing is fragmented. Every country has different VAT rates, e-invoicing mandates, accepted formats, and compliance rules. This MCP server puts all of that knowledge at your fingertips.

Scored across 10 tools
Most tools target clearly distinct aspects (VAT rates, requirements, formats, field validation, reverse charge, OSS, mandates, standard info, comparison). Minor overlap between list_vat_rates and get_vat_rates, and between get_einvoicing_requirements and get_b2b_mandate_status, but descriptions clarify scope.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern with clear prefixes like list_, get_, validate_, and compare_. No mixing of conventions.
10 tools is well-scoped for an EU e-invoicing and VAT reference server; each tool covers a distinct informational need without redundancy or bloat.
Covers core reference areas: VAT rates, e-invoicing requirements, formats, field validation, reverse charge, OSS, B2B mandates, EN16931, and comparison. Minor gaps exist, such as no list_invoice_formats or VAT number validation, but agents can work around them.
