An MCP server for European invoicing rules. Query VAT rates, e-invoicing requirements, format specifications, and compliance rules for EU-27 + EEA countries — directly from your AI assistant.

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.
