Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant check UK or EU VAT numbers against official sources and return the registered name and address.

What you can do
  • Validate a UK or EU VAT number against official sources
  • Retrieve the registered business name and address linked to a checked VAT number
  • Work within a free daily allowance, with an optional key for higher usage
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to confirm that a business VAT number is valid, or to pull the registered name and address for a company before invoicing, onboarding or record-keeping.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install or package. No authentication is required for the free daily allowance. An optional Authorization header with a bearer key, obtained from the provider, raises the limit.
Before you install
The optional Authorization header carries a secret key; keep it private and send it only to the provider's endpoint. Results depend on the official sources the service queries, so treat them as verification aids rather than legal proof.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open UK Data: VAT number checks in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/uk.co.reliness%2Fvalidation/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

67% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
