romania-mcp

[tests] [PyPI]

MCP server for Romanian public data. Lets Claude (or any MCP client) check a company at ANAF, read its financial statements, find its court cases, get BNR exchange rates, validate IBANs, and put all of it together to tell you if an online shop looks like a scam. No API keys, everything comes from official public sources.

Pe scurt: verifici o firmă după CUI (activă, radiată, inactivă fiscal, plătitoare de TVA), îi vezi bilanțurile, dosarele din instanță și cursul BNR, direct din Claude. Și îl poți întreba „e țeapă magazinul ăsta?”.

Tools

Install

Needs Python 3.10+.

pip install romania-mcp-server

or if you use uv you don't need to install anything, just point the client at uvx (see below).

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "romania": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["romania-mcp-server"]    }  }}

If you installed with pip, "command": "romania-mcp-server" with no args works too.

Claude Code

claude mcp add romania -- uvx romania-mcp-server

Cursor, Windsurf etc. take the same JSON as Claude Desktop.

Example prompts

• "e țeapă magazinul ăsta? https://..."
• "here are my 40 suppliers' CUIs, which ones are fiscally inactive or deregistered?"
• "was RO18547290 VAT registered on 15.03.2016?"
• "how did 14399840 do in the last 5 years? revenue, profit, employees"
• "does Foo Trade SRL have any insolvency cases? when's the next hearing?"
• "cât fac 2.450 EUR în lei la cursul BNR din 14 martie 2025?"
• "is this IBAN right? RO49 AAAA 1B31 0075 9384 0000"

How shop_check decides

It's a list of signals, not a verdict from above:

• red flags (risk = high): no CUI anywhere on the site, CUI unknown to ANAF, company deregistered or fiscally inactive, company is the debtor in an insolvency case
• warnings (two or more = medium): company or site younger than a few months, never archived by the Wayback Machine, no financial statements, zero revenue or employees, negative equity, no ANPC link, the company name ANAF returns never appears on the site (scam shops sometimes copy a real company's CUI)
• good signs: company and site have been around for years, real revenue and employees, ANPC links present

It can't see reviews, delivery times or whether the products exist, so a "low" doesn't mean the shop is good, just that the company behind it checks out.

Caching

Responses are cached in sqlite at ~/.cache/romania-mcp/cache.sqlite3 so ANAF and friends don't get asked the same thing twice: company status 6h, financials 24h, court cases 3h, current exchange rates 1h, past years' rates 30 days.

Notes

• ANAF only searches by CUI, not by company name. Name search would need the ONRC dataset, maybe later.
• ANAF asks for at most one request per second. The server spaces requests out, so 500 CUIs take about 5 seconds and 5 years of financials about 5.
• Financial statements for a year are filed by mid next year, and some companies only have data from around 2020 on.
• Portal Just's API only answers over plain http (their https is broken), and caps a search at 1000 cases.
• .ro domains have no public RDAP and ROTLD's whois terms forbid automated queries, so for .ro shops the site age comes from the Wayback Machine only.
• iban_check knows the main Romanian banks. A valid IBAN doesn't prove who owns the account.

Development

git clone https://github.com/robyroro/romania-mcpcd romania-mcppip install -e . pytestpytest

Tests don't hit the network, HTTP calls are mocked.

To poke at it with the MCP inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector romania-mcp

Be reasonable

All of this is public data, but court records name real people. Use it to vet companies you do business with, not to dig into individuals.
