euinvoice-mcp

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.

Why

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.
