Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v2.0.4

Published

VAT number validator for AI agents. EU VIES, UK HMRC, AU ABR — auto-detects jurisdiction. Fraud risk scoring and invoice name cross-check in one call.

Readme

VAT Validator MCP

AI-powered VAT fraud detection and live VAT number validation for AI agents.

Validates EU, UK, and AU VAT numbers against authoritative live sources and uses AI pattern analysis to detect invoice fraud before payment is authorised. Built for compliance agents, invoice processing workflows, and supplier onboarding pipelines.

What This Solves

VAT fraud costs EU businesses €50bn annually. The most common attack vectors — missing trader fraud, carousel fraud, deregistered entity re-use — share one common signal: a VAT number that looks valid but isn't registered to the entity on the invoice.

Claude and other LLMs cannot reliably check live VAT registration status from training data. This tool calls the authoritative sources directly:

  • EU VIES — all 27 member states, real-time
  • UK HMRC VAT API v2 — OAuth2, authoritative
  • AU ABR — Australian Business Register
