MCP support
As an MCP server, it exposes Brazilian fiscal document generation, validation, tax-ID checks, and SEFAZ query and submission tools to MCP clients. Write operations such as submission and correction can be restricted with read-only switches.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx mcp-nfe-brBR_READ_ONLYMaster switch. Set to '1' to disable all write-side tools across NF-e, NFC-e, NFS-e, AND CT-e (br__submit_nfe, br__distribute_dfe, br__submit_nfse, br__cancel_nfse, br__submit_cte, br__cancel_cte, br__correct_cte). Read-only mode for safe exploration. Setting only this variable is sufficient to disable all CT-e writes too — BR_CTE_READ_ONLY is an additional, independent gate, not a required second step.BR_CTE_READ_ONLYSet to '1' to disable the three CT-e write-side tools (br__submit_cte, br__cancel_cte, br__correct_cte). Independent of BR_READ_ONLY — either variable being set to '1' is sufficient to block CT-e writes; use this one to gate CT-e alone while leaving NF-e/NFS-e writes enabled.LOG_LEVELLogging level: DEBUG, INFO (default), WARNING, or ERRORLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Introduction
mcp-nfe-br is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing tools for issuing and validating Brazilian electronic fiscal documents: NF-e (modelo 55), NFC-e (modelo 65), NFS-e Nacional (ADN), and CT-e (modelo 57). This server is part of the mcp-einvoicing-* / mcp-*-* family, built on mcp-einvoicing-core, which provides the base data model, HTTP/OAuth2 utilities, and shared MCP server infrastructure.
Current status (v0.6.5): NF-e/NFC-e (modelo 55/65, schema 4.00) and NFS-e Nacional (ADN, schema v1.01) generation, ICP-Brasil signing, XSD validation, and gated SEFAZ/ADN submission are implemented. NF-e/NFC-e now also covers the 010e_v.1.02 schema delta (DANFE Simplificado Tipo 2 — tpImp=6, cIndOp, ISUFEmit, and the SEFAZ alert-message response group) and the 010f_v.1.04 delta (NT 2026.007 — emit/IE optional for taxpayers exclusively subject to IBS/CBS, produção 2026-11-03) on top of the PL_010d base. CT-e (modelo 57) generation/signing/validation and SEFAZ event submission (cancelamento, Carta de Correção) were added starting v0.6.0 — v1 scope is intentionally narrow: modal rodoviário only, ICMS CST 00 only, and no bundled/verified CT-e webservice endpoint table (every SEFAZ CT-e call requires an explicit endpoint_override). See the "CT-e (modelo 57)" tools section below for the full field-level reference.

Configuration
This server needs no credentials to run. The environment variables below are optional safety/logging toggles:
Environment variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
BR_READ_ONLY | Master switch. Set to 1 to disable write tools across all sub-formats: NF-e/NFC-e (br__submit_nfe, br__distribute_dfe), NFS-e (br__submit_nfse, br__cancel_nfse), and CT-e (br__submit_cte, br__cancel_cte, br__correct_cte). Safe mode for exploration. The SEFAZ environment (production/homologation) is selected per call via the tp_amb argument. | — |
BR_CTE_READ_ONLY | Set to 1 to disable only the CT-e write tools (br__submit_cte, br__cancel_cte, br__correct_cte), leaving NF-e/NFS-e writes enabled. Independent of BR_READ_ONLY — either variable set to 1 is sufficient to block CT-e writes; you do not need both. | — |
LOG_LEVEL | Log level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR | INFO |

Available tools
br__validate_cpf
Validates a CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas), the individual taxpayer identification number, using the Receita Federal modulo 11 algorithm.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cpf | string | yes | CPF with or without ./- separators |
Returns a TaxIdValidationResult with valid=True and the cleaned value (11 digits) on success, or valid=False with an error message in Portuguese.
br__validate_cnpj
Validates a CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica), the business taxpayer identification number. Accepts both the traditional numeric format (14 digits) and the alphanumeric format introduced by NT 2026.004 (PL_010d), effective in homologation from 2026-06-01 and in production from 2026-07-01.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cnpj | string | yes | CNPJ with or without .///- separators |
Returns a TaxIdValidationResult with valid=True and the cleaned value (14 characters) on success, or valid=False with an error message in Portuguese.
⚠️ [Unverified]: the check-digit algorithm for the alphanumeric CNPJ format was implemented based on secondary sources, as the primary source ("NT Conjunta DFe 2025.001") is not yet available locally.
br__generate_nfe
Generates an unsigned NF-e/NFC-e 4.00 document (<NFe><infNFe>…</infNFe></NFe>) from a BRInvoice object.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
invoice | object | yes | BRInvoice document (modelo 55 or 65, groups ide/emit/dest/det/total/transp/pag) |
Returns {"xml": ..., "chave_acesso": ..., "warnings": [...]}. The warnings in Portuguese remind that the document is not signed (ICP-Brasil) and was not transmitted to SEFAZ. Both steps are the responsibility of a separate process.
Phase 1 coverage for per-item tax groups:
| Tax | Supported codes | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| ICMS | CST 00 (normal regime) or CSOSN 102 (Simples Nacional) | other codes raise DocumentGenerationError |
| PIS/COFINS | CST 01/02 (rate-based) or 04-09 (non-taxed) | group omitted if pis_cst/cofins_cst are None |
| IPI | CST 00/49/50/99 (taxed) or other (non-taxed) | group omitted if ipi_cst is None |
[NEED: IBS/CBS/Imposto Seletivo — Grupo UB/W03 (NT 2025.002-RTC) not yet modeled].
br__validate_nfe_xml
Validates an NF-e/NFC-e 4.00 XML document against the official PL_010d XSD, patched with the PL_010e_v.1.02 and PL_010f_v.1.04 deltas (local "unsigned" variant, see note below).
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
xml_content | string | no* | XML as a string |
xml_base64 | string | no* | Base64-encoded XML |
* Exactly one of xml_content/xml_base64 must be provided.
Returns {"valid": bool, "errors": [...], "metadata": {"schema_version": ...}}.
[Inference]: the official XSD (
nfe_v4.00.xsd/leiauteNFe_v4.00.xsd, PL_010d) requires<ds:Signature>as a mandatory child of<NFe>. Since Phase 1 generates unsigned documents, this tool validates against a local derived copy (nfe_v4.00_unsigned.xsd) where<ds:Signature>has been made optional (minOccurs="0"). Validation of signed documents (future phase) should use the official XSD without modifications.
br__build_access_key
Builds an access key (chNFe, 44 characters) with a modulo 11 check digit, from the components cUF, dhEmi, issuer CNPJ, model, series, and document number.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
c_uf | string | yes | IBGE state code (2 digits) |
dh_emi | string | yes | Issue date/time (ISO 8601) |
cnpj | string | yes | Issuer CNPJ (numeric or alphanumeric PL_010d) |
modelo | string | yes | 55 (NF-e) or 65 (NFC-e) |
serie | string | yes | Document series |
nnf | string | yes | Document number |
tp_emis | string | no | Issuance type (default "1") |
c_nf | string | no | Random numeric code (cNF, 8 digits); auto-generated if omitted |
Returns {"chave_acesso": ..., "cnf": ...}.
CT-e (modelo 57) tools
CT-e (Conhecimento de Transporte Eletrônico) coverage started at v0.6.0. v1 scope is intentionally narrow: modal rodoviário only (other modais raise an error), ICMS CST 00 (tributação normal) only, and no bundled/verified SEFAZ CT-e endpoint table — every SEFAZ call below requires an explicit endpoint_override. Since v0.7.0, br__generate_cte also accepts the Reforma Tributária do Consumo (IBS/CBS) fields introduced by NT 2026.002 — imp/IBSCBS, emit/ISUFEmit, and ide/tpPagAnt+gPagAntecipado — with the NT's self-contained business rules enforced at the model layer; rules that require a live SEFAZ database lookup are not checked.
br__generate_cte
Generates an unsigned CT-e 4.00 document (<CTe><infCte>…</infCte></CTe>) from a BRCTeDocument object.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cte | object | yes | BRCTeDocument (modelo 57, modal rodoviário, ICMS CST 00) |
Returns {"xml": ..., "chave_acesso": ..., "warnings": [...]}.
br__validate_cte_xml
Validates a CT-e 4.00 XML document against the bundled PL_CTe_400 XSD (auto-selects the unsigned or official signed schema based on <ds:Signature> presence).
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
xml_content | string | no* | XML as a string |
xml_base64 | string | no* | Base64-encoded XML |
* Exactly one of xml_content/xml_base64 must be provided.
br__consult_cte_sefaz_status
Checks SEFAZ CT-e webservice availability (CTeStatusServicoV4). Read-only, no confirmation required.
br__consult_cte
Queries a CT-e's status by access key (CTeConsultaV4). Read-only, no confirmation required — it queries one already-known document, not a bulk data pull.
br__submit_cte
Submits a signed CT-e to SEFAZ authorization (CTeRecepcaoSincV4, synchronous). The payload is automatically GZip-compressed and Base64-encoded before transmission, per the CT-e MOC. Gated with a two-step confirmation (ConfirmationGate) and BR_CTE_READ_ONLY.
br__cancel_cte
Requests cancellation of an authorized CT-e (event 110111, CTeRecepcaoEventoV4). cStat=135 indicates the cancellation was homologated. Gated.
br__correct_cte
Issues a Carta de Correção Eletrônica (event 110110, CTeRecepcaoEventoV4). Per Art. 58-B of CONVÊNIO/SINIEF 06/89, a CC-e cannot alter tax values, party registration data, or the issue/departure date. Gated.
Not yet implemented: br__distribute_cte_dfe (CTeDistribuicaoDFe) — the bundled specification confirms the request payload shape but not the webservice's method name, WSDL namespace, or message-wrapper element.

Relationship with mcp-einvoicing-core
mcp-einvoicing-core provides:
- Base Pydantic models for invoices, parties, line items, and validation results (
InvoiceDocument,InvoiceLineItem,TaxIdValidationResult) - Shared MCP server infrastructure (
EInvoicingMCPServer) - HTTP/OAuth2 client, token cache, structured logging, exception hierarchy
mcp-nfe-br adds Brazil-specific logic:
BRInvoice(extendsInvoiceDocument, as NF-e/NFC-e has no EN 16931 lineage)- Group I fields (NCM, CFOP, ICMS/IPI/PIS/COFINS) in
BRInvoiceLine - CPF/CNPJ validation (including the alphanumeric CNPJ from NT 2026.004)
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 SEFAZ (NF-e/NFC-e) and the CT-e SEFAZ endpoint with your own digital certificate; no intermediary is involved.

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.
