mcp-ksef-pl

mcp-ksef-pl 🇵🇱

English | Polski

A Python MCP server providing tools for Polish electronic invoicing compliant with KSeF (FA(2)) and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 / EN 16931. It enables AI agents (Claude, IDEs) to generate, validate, and submit invoices to the Krajowy System e-Faktur (KSeF), as well as validate Polish tax identifiers (NIP and REGON).

---

Introduction

This package is built on mcp-einvoicing-core, the shared base library for European e-invoicing MCP servers. It provides an OAuth2 HTTP client, token cache, data models, logging utilities, and an exception hierarchy.

mcp-einvoicing-core is installed automatically as a dependency, no additional step is required.

Installation

Via PyPI (recommended)

pip install mcp-ksef-pl

Or without prior installation using uvx:

uvx mcp-ksef-pl

From source

git clone https://github.com/cmendezs/mcp-ksef-pl.git
cd mcp-ksef-pl
uv sync --all-extras

Configuration (environment variables)

Variable	Default	Description
KSEF_ENVIRONMENT	test	KSeF environment: production or test
KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN	—	KSeF session token (obtained through the challenge-response flow with MF)
KSEF_NIP	—	NIP of the entity submitting invoices
KSEF_TIMEOUT	30	HTTP request timeout in seconds
KSEF_VERIFY_MF_KEY_PINNING	false	Enforce SPKI SHA-256 pinning on the MF encryption certificate. No-op until fingerprints are populated for the active environment, even when set to true
EINVOICING_PEPPOL_CODELIST_DIR	—	Local directory containing your own copy of the OpenPeppol eDEC Code Lists, required by the Peppol codelist tools (not bundled with this package; see mcp-einvoicing-core README)
EINVOICING_EN16931_CODELIST_DIR	—	Local directory containing your own copy of the CEF "Digital Building Blocks" EN 16931 semantic code lists, required by the EN 16931 codelist tools (not bundled; see mcp-einvoicing-core README)

The EUSR/TSR reporting and MLS tools additionally require the [xslt2] extra (pip install "mcp-ksef-pl[xslt2]") for Schematron validation.

Claude Desktop integration

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksef-pl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ksef-pl"],
      "env": {
        "KSEF_ENVIRONMENT": "test",
        "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your-ksef-session-token>",
        "KSEF_NIP": "<your-nip>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor integration

Cursor supports MCP servers via stdio. Add the configuration to:

• Globally (all projects): ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• Per project (this repository only): .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksef-pl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ksef-pl"],
      "env": {
        "KSEF_ENVIRONMENT": "test",
        "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your-ksef-session-token>",
        "KSEF_NIP": "<your-nip>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload the Cursor window (Ctrl+Shift+P → Reload Window) after saving changes.

Kiro integration

Kiro supports MCP servers through a dedicated configuration file:

• Globally: ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json
• Workspace: .kiro/settings/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksef-pl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ksef-pl"],
      "env": {
        "KSEF_ENVIRONMENT": "test",
        "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your-ksef-session-token>",
        "KSEF_NIP": "<your-nip>"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Security tip: instead of entering the token directly, use the syntax "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "${KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN}", as Kiro resolves shell environment variables at startup.

Available tools

FA(3) / FA(2) invoice handling

Tool	Description
generate_fa3_invoice	Generates a KSeF-compliant FA(3) XML invoice (required for KSeF API v2 submissions)
generate_fa2_invoice	Generates a KSeF-compliant FA(2) XML invoice (legacy format, read-only use)
validate_fa3_invoice	Validates FA(3) XML: XSD validation and FA(3)-specific business rules
validate_fa2_invoice	Validates FA(2) XML: XSD validation (if the schema is available) and business rules
parse_fa2_invoice	Parses FA(2) XML into a structured dictionary

The official FA(2) and FA(3) XSD schemas ship inside the package (src/mcp_ksef_pl/schemas/) and are loaded automatically via importlib.resources — no manual download or configuration is required. validate_fa2_invoice and validate_fa3_invoice run full XSD validation out of the box for every installation.

KSeF lifecycle

Tool	Description
submit_invoice_to_ksef	Submits an FA(3) invoice to the KSeF platform and returns a reference number
get_ksef_invoice_status	Retrieves the processing status of an invoice by its reference number
search_ksef_invoices	Searches invoices in KSeF by date range and direction (seller/buyer)

Identifier validation

Tool	Description
validate_polish_nip	Validates a NIP (10-digit tax identification number) using a checksum algorithm
validate_polish_regon	Validates a REGON (9- or 14-digit registry number) using a checksum algorithm

Peppol / EN 16931

Tool	Description

validate_peppol_invoice	Validates a UBL 2.1 Peppol invoice against the CEN EN 16931 base Schematron rules (en16931-base-only scope — does not check the Peppol-specific overlay)

Peppol network tools

Peppol participant lookup, service-endpoint lookup, a DNS-only diagnostic, AS4 send, Peppol Directory search, and the OpenPeppol eDEC codelist tools are provided by the shared core Peppol tool plugin (mcp_einvoicing_core.peppol.tools.register_peppol_tools), mounted in server.py with a Poland-specific identifier adapter: a bare NIP (e.g. 1234563218) is normalized to the 9945:<digits> Peppol scheme (PL:VAT, per the OpenPeppol eDEC Participant Identifier Schemes code list); an already scheme-qualified identifier (e.g. 9945:1234563218) passes through unchanged. Use these tools to check PEF (Poland's Peppol Access Point for public-procurement B2G invoicing) registration status ahead of generate_peppol_invoice.

peppol_send signs outbound messages with a real wsse:Security signature as of mcp-einvoicing-core v1.20.0 (previously computed and discarded — see CHANGELOG.md v0.8.0).

KSeF authentication

KSeF API v2 uses a multi-step challenge/redeem flow to issue an AccessToken. This MCP server accepts an already-obtained token and cannot automate the signing step (it requires a qualified electronic signature).

Step-by-step flow

1. Account setup. Register at the KSeF portal: https://ksef.mf.gov.pl/. Select the target environment (test or production). The test environment is at https://ksef-test.mf.gov.pl/.

2. Request a challenge. Call the KSeF API to obtain a challenge XML envelope:

   curl -s https://ksef-test.mf.gov.pl/auth/challenge \
     -H "Accept: application/json" \
     -d '{"contextIdentifier": {"type": "onip", "identifier": "YOUR_NIP"}}' \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json"
   

   The response contains a challenge string and a timestamp.

3. Sign the challenge. Build an <InitSessionTokenRequest> XML envelope containing the challenge, then sign it with your qualified e-signature. Accepted signing tools:

   • Qualified e-signature providers: KIR (Szafir), Certum, Sigillum
   • podpis.gov.pl (government signing portal)
   • Profil Zaufany (Trusted Profile): https://www.podatki.gov.pl/ksef/

   Example using xmlsec1 with a PKCS#12 certificate:

   # Build the challenge XML (template at specs/przyklad-wyzwania.xml)
   xmlsec1 --sign --pkcs12 your-cert.p12 --pwd "password" \
     --output signed-challenge.xml challenge-template.xml
   

4. Submit the signed challenge. POST the signed XML to receive an authOperation reference:

   curl -s https://ksef-test.mf.gov.pl/auth/xades-signature \
     -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
     --data-binary @signed-challenge.xml
   

5. Redeem the AccessToken. Exchange the authenticated operation for an AccessToken:

   curl -s https://ksef-test.mf.gov.pl/auth/token/redeem \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <referenceNumber-or-authOperation-token-from-step-4>"
   

   The response contains accessToken.token and accessToken.context.referenceNumber.

6. Set the token. Export the token for this MCP server:

   export KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN="<the AccessToken from step 5>"
   

   The token is valid for approximately 2 hours from issuance (per MF documentation). After expiry, repeat steps 2-5.

Architecture

The server acts as an intelligent communication interface between the AI agent and the KSeF platform and the Peppol network:

[ ERP System / Application ] <--> [ MCP Server ] <--> [ KSeF (MF) / Peppol Network ]
          ^                           |
          |                           v
   [ AI Agent (Claude) ] <--- (FA(2) / EN 16931)

Vendor neutrality

This server implements the standard itself: it builds, validates, and signs the document locally. It is not a client for a commercial invoicing platform, and your signing keys and credentials never leave your own infrastructure.

Invoices go directly to KSeF with your own authentication token; no intermediary is involved.
