PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eu-vat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@duty27/eu-vat-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add eu-vat -- npx -y @duty27/eu-vat-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eu-vat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@duty27/eu-vat-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "eu-vat": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@duty27/eu-vat-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is EU VAT rates safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 33 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@duty27/eu-vat-mcp

An MCP server that lets an AI assistant answer "what was the VAT rate in Germany on 1 July 2020?" correctly, for all 27 EU member states, any day since 2016.

It runs on your machine, offline, with no API key and no account. The rates are bundled in the package.

Use it

Claude Code

claude mcp add eu-vat -- npx -y @duty27/eu-vat-mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients (add to the client's MCP config)

{

"mcpServers": { "eu-vat": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@duty27/eu-vat-mcp"] } } }

Then ask: *"Which EU countries changed their standard VAT rate since 2024?"*

Tools

ToolAnswers
get_standard_rateThe standard rate in one country on one day (today if no day is given).
get_rate_historyEvery standard rate a country has had, with the first day of each.
list_rate_changesRate changes across the EU, newest first; filter by country and/or a start date.
list_countriesThe 27 member states and their codes (Greece is EL; GR also works).

All four are read-only and make no network calls.

What it will not do

  • Standard rates only. Reduced rates (e-books, food, ...) are not included.
  • Lookup, not calculation. It returns the rate. It does not work out net or gross amounts, rounding, whether a sale is reverse-charged, or OSS reports: those are in the Duty27 API.
  • Nothing is guessed. An unknown country, a date before 2016-01-01 or a malformed date is returned as an error the assistant can read, never a plausible-looking wrong rate.
  • It is a snapshot. Every answer says when the data was last checked (dataAsOf). A rate that changed after that date appears in the next release. A pull request that updates the data opens automatically when Duty27's published rates change, and is released after a person checks it against the primary source.
  • The citations are on the web, not in the answers. Every rate change cites the law or tax-authority notice that made it (the 2016 starting rates cite the European Commission's rate table), listed at https://duty27.com/vat-rates/history.

Need more than a rate?

Deciding what to charge and keeping the proof (B2B reverse charge, the EU €10,000 threshold, VIES checks, an archive and OSS reports) is what the Duty27 API does. It is free to try, no credit card.

Same data as the libraries

This server uses exactly the data of the Node, Python and Java libraries from the same repository: one shared source, one hash, one set of test vectors checked in every language and through this server.
