Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for Norway's Brønnøysund business registry — lookup, search, roles.

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: Search & AI memory

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": {
    "brreg": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "brreg-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add brreg -- npx -y brreg-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brreg": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "brreg-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": {
    "brreg": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "brreg-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.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Brreg 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 7 months 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?

brreg-mcp

MCP server for the Norwegian Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities (Brønnøysundregistrene / Enhetsregisteret). Gives Claude Code and other MCP-compatible clients direct access to Norwegian company data — lookup, search, roles, subunits, and live updates.

No API key needed. Data is served by the free, public Brønnøysund Open Data API.

Why

Norwegian devs, accountants, and analysts constantly need to look up orgnumbers, find board members, or track subsidiary changes. Doing it through the web UI is slow; doing it with curl loses context. With this MCP, you just ask Claude.

Install

Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (~/.claude/settings.json or per-project .claude/settings.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "brreg": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "brreg-mcp"] } } }

Restart Claude Code. Verify with /mcp — you should see brreg listed with 5 tools.

Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "brreg": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "brreg-mcp"] } } }

Cursor / Windsurf / Zed / any MCP client

Same command: npx, args: ["-y", "brreg-mcp"] configuration.

Local development
git clone https://github.com/hellosverre/brreg-mcp

cd brreg-mcp npm install npm run build

Then point your MCP client at node /absolute/path/to/brreg-mcp/dist/index.js.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
lookup_companyFull details for one company by its 9-digit orgnr — name, address, NACE codes, employees, VAT status, bankruptcy, foundation date.
search_companiesSearch by name and optional filters (municipality, org form, industry code, VAT-registered, bankruptcy status). Paginated.
get_company_rolesAll registered roles (board, CEO, chair, auditor, sole proprietor) for a company.
search_subunitsFind subunits (branch offices, production sites) — scope to a parent company or by municipality/industry.
get_recent_updatesFeed of entity changes for monitoring new registrations, bankruptcies, status shifts.

Example prompts

"Look up orgnr 984661177 and show me the board."

"Find all VAT-registered software consultancies (NACE 62.010) in Oslo."

"List every subunit of Vygruppen AS."

"What Norwegian companies were just registered in the last hour?"

Data source

All data comes from data.brreg.no. Per Brønnøysund's open data terms, the data is free to use. Some endpoints (roles with personal identification numbers) require Maskinporten authentication and are not exposed by this server.

Development

npm install          # install deps

npm run dev # run server in watch mode via tsx npm run smoke # hit the real brreg API to verify connectivity npm run build # compile to dist/ npx tsx scripts/mcp-probe.ts # end-to-end stdio test
