MCP support
Exposes tax, transaction, nexus and rate tools to MCP clients. Payments can be logged through `track_payment` or automatically tracked using a Stripe webhook; read-only tools include the MCP `readOnlyHint` annotation.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y @agenttax/mcp-serverAGENTTAX_API_KEYSecretAgentTax API key (free tier at agenttax.io). Optional: without it the server runs in demo mode, 50 calls/day.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEAgentTax MCP Server
Tax compliance for MCP tool developers and AI agents, powered by AgentTax.
For MCP tool developers
If you build MCP tools that charge for usage, you have sales tax obligations in states where your buyers are located. Most payment processors don't handle this correctly for digital services.
Add AgentTax to your MCP setup and call track_payment after every payment. That's it.
{
"mcpServers": {
"agenttax": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@agenttax/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"AGENTTAX_API_KEY": "atx_live_your_key"
}
}
}
}
After a payment:
track_payment({
amount: 49.00,
buyer_state: "TX",
buyer_zip: "78701",
description: "MCP API access — monthly subscription",
payment_id: "pi_stripe_abc123",
source: "stripe"
})
Returns your tax liability, compliance status, and logs it to your account. All transactions are viewable in your AgentTax dashboard.
Stripe webhook (fully automated)
For fully automatic tax tracking without calling any tool manually, point your Stripe webhook to AgentTax:
- In Stripe Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks, add an endpoint:
https://agenttax.io/api/v1/webhooks/stripe?key=atx_live_YOUR_KEY - Select events:
payment_intent.succeeded,checkout.session.completed,invoice.paid,charge.succeeded - Optional: set
metadata.work_typeon your Stripe products (compute|research|content|consulting|trading) for precise tax classification
Every payment is automatically classified, taxed, and logged. No code changes required.
Requires a billing address on the Stripe payment. Enable full address collection in your Stripe Checkout settings.
Install
Claude Code
claude mcp add agenttax -- npx @agenttax/mcp-server
export AGENTTAX_API_KEY=atx_live_your_key

Add to your MCP config file:

Demo mode works without a key (50 calls/day, no account required). Tools marked "Yes" below need AGENTTAX_API_KEY.

calculate_tax | Full sales/use tax calculation with jurisdiction breakdown, audit trail, confidence score and advisories | Demo works; key for full response |
ingest_transactions | Bulk-log up to 100 transactions (e.g. x402 purchases), idempotent on external_tx_id | Yes |

Read-only tools carry the MCP readOnlyHint annotation so clients can auto-approve them.
track_payment
track_payment({
amount: 49.00,
buyer_state: "TX",
buyer_zip: "78701",
description: "MCP tool subscription",
work_type: "content",
payment_id: "pi_stripe_abc123",
source: "stripe"
})
Returns tax_owed, tax_rate, taxable, transaction_id, a classification (where the work type came from) and a compliance_note. Sellers get $0 in states where no nexus is configured; the response says so in nexus_warning.
Pass work_type explicitly (compute | research | information_service | content | consulting | trading) when you know what you sold. It is a declaration and gives the exact answer, and it is the only way the consulting or trading exemption applies: for example, AI consulting sold to an Arizona buyer is an exempt professional service (A.R.S. §42-5061(A)(1), TPR 93-48), so work_type: "consulting" returns $0 in AZ. Without work_type the server guesses from description, but a guess never takes the consulting or trading exemption: a description that looks like consulting (e.g. "SOC 2 audit platform subscription") or trading is taxed as SaaS, and classification.note tells you to resend with work_type if the guess was right. A description that looks like compute or research keeps the 1.1.1 classification, which can tax less than SaaS in some states (e.g. CT, MD, SC, TN, WV); pass work_type for an exact answer. Leave is_b2b out when you don't know the buyer; false declares a consumer. Upgrading from 1.1.1? Some track_payment results change; see CHANGELOG.md.
calculate_tax
calculate_tax({
role: "buyer",
amount: 500,
buyer_state: "TX",
buyer_zip: "78701",
transaction_type: "compute",
work_type: "compute",
counterparty_id: "seller-agent-123",
is_b2b: true
})
Optional fields: seller_state / seller_zip (origin-sourced intrastate sales in TX, UT, AZ, TN and some OH sales), use_context (Maryland B2B), digital_content_type (with transaction_type: "digital_good"), seller_remitting. transaction_type and work_type are sent exactly as given and treated as declared facts; don't guess them (consulting is exempt in Arizona).
Nexus
get_nexus_thresholds({ state: "NY" }) // what triggers registration
configure_nexus({ nexus: { TX: { hasNexus: true, reason: "Economic nexus" } } })
get_nexus() // what you have configured
Capital gains and 1099-DA
log_trade({ asset_symbol: "ETH", trade_type: "buy", quantity: 2, price_per_unit: 2500, asset_class: "crypto" })
log_trade({ asset_symbol: "ETH", trade_type: "sell", quantity: 1, price_per_unit: 3100, asset_class: "crypto" })
export_1099_da({ year: 2026 }) // draft, not a filed return

-d '{"email": "[email protected]", "password": "securepass", "agent_name": "my-mcp-server", "agent_work_type": "compute"}'
All four fields are required; agent_work_type is one of compute, research, information_service, content, consulting, trading. Save the api_key.key from the response — it's only shown once.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
