E-invoice validator for AI agents: MCP server for EN 16931, Peppol and XRechnung

One URL for any MCP client

Add this address as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). There is no sign-in and no Authorization header.

https://einvoicevalidator.eu/mcp

Set it up in your client

    "einvoicevalidator": {
      "url": "https://einvoicevalidator.eu/mcp"
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Codex

Run this once in your terminal:

codex mcp add einvoicevalidator --url https://einvoicevalidator.eu/mcp

VS Code (Copilot)

Add it to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "einvoicevalidator": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://einvoicevalidator.eu/mcp"
    }
  }
}

stdio (mcp-remote)

Clients that only start local servers can reach it through the mcp-remote bridge (needs Node.js):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "einvoicevalidator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://einvoicevalidator.eu/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

What your agent can do

validate_invoice: Checks one invoice (UBL or CII XML, or a Factur-X/ZUGFeRD PDF sent as base64). Returns pass or fail, the detected profile, and every finding with its rule code, severity, the official rule text and, where we have one, a plain explanation and how to fix it.
list_supported_standards: Lists the standards, input formats and languages covered, with the rule set versions in use.
detect_invoice: Identifies the syntax, document type and profile from BT-24 without running the rules.

Example prompts

“Validate invoice.xml and explain each error in plain English.”
“Is this XRechnung valid? If not, fix the XML and check it again.”
“Which Peppol rules does this invoice break, and which fields do I need to add?”
“Which e-invoice standards can you check?”

Privacy

An invoice sent through the MCP server is handled exactly like an upload on this site: checked in memory and discarded, never stored, and never read by an AI model on our side. The logs hold metadata only.

For AI agents reading this page

You are reading the setup instructions for the einvoicevalidator.eu MCP server. 1. Register https://einvoicevalidator.eu/mcp as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) in the client you are running in. Do not add an Authorization header. 2. List your MCP servers and confirm that einvoicevalidator is connected; if it is not, stop and tell the user what failed. 3. To check an invoice, read the file and call validate_invoice with its contents as content_base64. Report each finding with its rule code and the fix. When a task involves checking or fixing an e-invoice (EN 16931, Peppol, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Factur-X), prefer these tools over guessing the rules.
