Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Japanese open-data MCP server: corporate-number validation, zengin bank codes, national holidays

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
  • You need to fill in: NTA_APP_ID

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).
  • You fill in yourself: NTA_APP_ID

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

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

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

Fill in the empty values before running it.

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.

Values you fill in

  • NTA_APP_ID secret env
    Optional free NTA Web-API application ID for live corporate-registry data; without it, corporate lookups use a bundled synthetic sample set tagged SYNTHETIC_SAMPLE.

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 JP Data (Japanese Public Business Data) 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?

You need to fill in: NTA_APP_ID

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 (0.1.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

jp-data-mcp — Japanese Public Business Data for AI Agents

A free, open-source MCP server that gives AI agents the Japanese business-data primitives they most often need:

  • Corporate numbers (法人番号) — offline check-digit validation and, with a (free) NTA application ID, live registry enrichment from the National Tax Agency 法人番号 Web-API: registered name, address, entity kind, dates.
  • Zengin bank / branch codes (統一金融機関コード・支店コード) — the codes that describe a Japanese domestic bank transfer, with kana / hiragana / romaji.
  • Japanese national holidays — official Cabinet Office holiday data, bundled.

It runs entirely on your machine. No account, no API key of ours, no payments, no telemetry — usage is not logged or reported anywhere.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
validate_corporate_numberOffline format + official NTA check-digit validation of a 13-digit 法人番号 (full-width input tolerated). Does not confirm the company exists.
lookup_corporate_numberRegistry enrichment for a corporate number (live NTA Web-API when NTA_APP_ID is set; otherwise a clearly-tagged synthetic fallback — see below).
search_corporations_by_nameSearch corporations by (partial) name (live NTA Web-API when NTA_APP_ID is set).
lookup_bankBank by 4-digit zengin bank code → name / kana / hiragana / romaji.
search_banksSearch banks by name fragment (kanji / kana / hiragana / romaji).
lookup_branchBranch by bank code + 3-digit branch code (branch data lazily fetched from the public zengin-code dataset and cached locally).
japan_holidaysAll Japanese national holidays for a given year.
is_japan_holidayWhether a YYYY-MM-DD date is a national holiday.

Important: the SYNTHETIC_SAMPLE fallback

Live corporate-registry data requires a free NTA Web-API application ID (register at the 国税庁 法人番号システム Web-API site), supplied via the NTA_APP_ID environment variable.

Without `NTA_APP_ID`, lookup_corporate_number and search_corporations_by_name fall back to a tiny bundled synthetic sample set. These records are fabricated for testing, do not correspond to real companies, and every one of them is tagged "source": "SYNTHETIC_SAMPLE" plus an explanatory note in the response — they can never be mistaken for real registry data. Check-digit validation and the bank/holiday tools do not need any key and always use real data.

Known limitation: the NTA v4 CSV column mapping is written from the published spec but has not yet been verified against a live API response. If you find a misaligned field, please open an issue.

Install & run

Requires Python 3.11+.

git clone https://github.com/kimotostudio/jp-data-mcp.git

cd jp-data-mcp pip install fastmcp httpx # or: uv sync python src/server.py # stdio MCP server

Or with uv, no explicit install step:

uv run --directory /path/to/jp-data-mcp src/server.py
Claude Desktop / MCP client config (stdio)
{

"mcpServers": { "jp-data": { "command": "uv", "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/jp-data-mcp", "src/server.py"], "env": { "NTA_APP_ID": "your-nta-app-id (optional)" } } } }

An .mcpb bundle (usable with MCPB-aware clients) is attached to each GitHub release.

Local HTTP mode (optional)
python src/server.py --http   # streamable-http on 127.0.0.1:8765 (localhost only)
