VAT API MCP connector

VAT API is a European Union tax compliance service that provides VAT number validation and tax rate information across EU member states. The VAT API MCP connector allows AI agents to validate VAT registration numbers, retrieve country-specific tax rates by code or IP address, and convert prices between VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive amounts. It also supports creating and managing invoices, converting currencies, and monitoring API usage limits on your subscription plan.

Authentication type

• API Key - Requires a static API key to be configured before the agent can connect to the service.
