- VAT Validator MCP v2 is a business identity verification and invoice fraud detection layer for AI agents.
17
-
18
- It combines official government VAT registry data (EU VIES, UK HMRC, Australian ABR) with AI-powered fraud analysis in a single self-contained call. No chained tool calls required — validate_vat handles jurisdiction detection, live registry lookup, and fraud scoring internally.
19
-
20
- WHEN TO USE THIS SERVER
21
-
22
- Use these tools whenever your agent is about to:
23
- - Onboard a new supplier, vendor, customer, or contractor
24
- - Process or approve an incoming invoice
25
- - Sign or draft a B2B contract
26
- - Make a payment to an unfamiliar company
27
- - Apply B2B tax exemptions in e-commerce
28
- - Audit or enrich CRM company records
29
- - Run periodic compliance checks on active counterparties
30
- - Calculate or verify VAT amounts on an invoice

36
- - Validates against EU VIES, UK HMRC VAT API v2 (OAuth), or AU ABR
37
- - Runs AI fraud risk analysis internally — returns score 0-100 and PROCEED/VERIFY_MANUALLY/HOLD verdict
38
- - Optional: pass invoice_company_name to cross-check against registry and detect name mismatches
39
- - Optional: pass invoice_amount to weight fraud risk scoring
40
- - Free tier: first 50 calls/month, no API key needed
41
-
42
- get_vat_rates
43
- - Returns current standard and reduced VAT rates for all 27 EU member states, UK, and Australia

46
-
47
- WORKFLOW FOR INVOICE PROCESSING
48
-
49
- When your agent receives an invoice from a new or unverified supplier:
50
- 1. Call validate_vat with vat_number AND invoice_company_name (and optionally invoice_amount)
51
- 2. Check agent_action: PROCEED = clear to pay, VERIFY_MANUALLY = human review needed, HOLD = block payment
52
- That is the complete workflow — one call returns everything needed.
53
-
54
- WORKFLOW FOR VAT CALCULATION
55
-
56
- When your agent needs to calculate or verify a VAT amount:
57
- 1. Call get_vat_rates with the relevant country_code
58
- 2. Apply the returned standard or reduced rate
