  "markdown": "# HelloBooks Public MCP Server\n\nA public, read-only [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server\nthat lets AI agents answer questions about HelloBooks accurately — pricing, integrations,\ncountry support, compliance frameworks — instead of relying on stale web snippets.\n\n> This is the **public** server. It exposes only marketing-derived, public-domain data.\n> The authenticated MCP server that reads a customer's books lives in\n> [`AI-MCP-Hellobooks`](https://github.com/Meru-Fin-Tech/AI-MCP-Hellobooks).\n\n## Install\n\n### Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Cursor\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add --transport http hellobooks https://agents.hellobooks.ai/mcp\n```\n\nOr, for local development:\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add hellobooks-local node /path/to/HelloBooks-MCP-Public/dist/stdio.js\n```\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `list_plans` | All HelloBooks plans (Free, Pro, Business, CPA) + Warehouse / Manufacturing add-ons. Optional `country` and `plan` filters. |\n| `list_integrations` | Banks, payments, payroll, time tracking, shipping, tax-compliance, accounting sync, ecommerce, CRM, storage (Drive/OneDrive), freelance (Upwork). Optional `category`, `country`, `status` filters. |\n| `country_support` | Per-country feature availability (BAS, STP, GST e-invoice, MTD, 1099, etc.). |\n| `compliance_capabilities` | For a given country, the supported compliance frameworks with version + cert info. |\n| `list_competitors` | Competitor positioning (QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, Zoho Books, Tally) with where HelloBooks wins, where the competitor wins, and pricing notes. Optional `country`, `tier`, and `id` filters. |\n| `compliance_deadlines` | When statutory returns and payroll filings are due, per country. Covers IN (GSTR-1/3B/9/9C, CMP-08, Form 24Q, Form 16, PF ECR, ESI), AU (BAS, STP, Super Guarantee), GB (VAT MTD, RTI, Self Assessment), US (1099-NEC/MISC, W-2, Form 941/940), CA (T4, GST/HST). Optional `country`, `frequency`, and `form` filters. Dates rotate annually — every response carries a disclaimer with per-deadline `source` URLs. |\n| `local_payment_methods` | Local bank-rail / wallet payment methods (UPI, BACS, PayID, BPAY, ACH, RTP, Zelle, PayNow, FAST, Interac, …) with rail speed, use-cases, authority, and HelloBooks support level. Optional `country`, `useCase`, `rail`, and `id` filters. |\n| `feature_search` | Free-text search across the marketing feature catalog, plan features, integrations, country features, compliance frameworks, competitor positioning, statutory deadlines, local payment methods, and published articles. Queries like `vs Xero`, `QuickBooks alternative`, `when is GSTR-3B due`, `UPI invoice cap`, `do you have a blog on 1099`, or `agentic accounting` surface the matching entry at the top. |\n| `list_features` | Full 96-feature marketing catalog. Filter by `category`, `tier`, `status`, `marketedOnly`, or substring `query`. |\n| `list_feature_categories` | The 13 feature categories on the marketing site with per-category counts by status (live/beta/planned). |\n| `list_articles` | Published content on hellobooks.ai — head-to-head compare pages and curated flagship blog posts. Optional `country`, `tag`, `query`, `limit` filters. |\n| `list_tax_rates` | Statutory tax-rate slabs by jurisdiction — IN GST (5/12/18/28 + zero + exempt + composition trader/manufacturer/restaurant), UK VAT (20/5/zero/exempt), AU GST (10/GST-free), US state-administered summary, CA GST + HST (ON, Atlantic), SG GST 9%, NZ GST 15%, AE VAT 5%. Filter by `country`, `taxType` (GST/VAT/Sales-Tax/HST/…), or `scheme` (standard/reduced/zero/exempt/composition/cess). Every entry carries an effective-from date and a `source` URL — confirm before quoting. |\n| `lookup_tax_rate` | Pick a single statutory rate by exact `id` (e.g. `IN-standard-18`) or by `country` + free-text `category` (e.g. \"office supplies\", \"restaurant\", \"exports\"). Returns the matched rate, score, and source URL. |\n\n## Resources\n\n| URI | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `hellobooks://about` | Markdown product summary. |\n| `hellobooks://changelog` | Recent release notes as JSON. |\n| `hellobooks://feature-catalog` | Full marketing feature catalog (96+ features across 13 categories) as JSON. |\n\n## Security posture\n\n- **Read-only by construction.** No tool mutates state. No tool reaches a customer system.\n- **Public data only.** All catalog content is sourced from the public marketing site.\n- **No authentication.** Intentional — this is a knowledge endpoint.\n- **Rate-limited.** 120 req/min per IP, 60 req/min per session.\n- **Audit gate.** `npm run audit:public-data` blocks deploys if any PII / auth token strings appear in `src/data/`.\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\nnpm install\nnpm run dev         # HTTP server on :8080 with watch mode\nnpm run dev:stdio   # stdio transport for local MCP client testing\nnpm test            # node:test runner\nnpm run build\nnpm run audit:public-data\n```\n\n### Project layout\n\n```\nsrc/\n  data/             # Static catalogs — plans, integrations, countries, articles, about\n  tools/            # One file per MCP tool\n  resources/        # MCP resource registry\n  server.ts         # MCP server factory (wires tools + resources)\n  http.ts           # Streamable HTTP transport with rate limiting\n  stdio.ts          # stdio transport entry point\ntest/\n  tools.test.ts\n  resources.test.ts\n  public-data.test.ts  # Audit gate\nscripts/\n  audit-public-data.ts  # CI-callable audit\n```\n\n## Deployment\n\nContainerised — see `Dockerfile`. Designed to run behind a TLS-terminating load balancer.\nSet `PORT` and `HOST` via environment.\n\nOptional anonymous usage telemetry (Layer-2 server-side analytics) is sent to GA4 via\nthe Measurement Protocol when `GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID` and `GA4_API_SECRET` are both set —\nsee `.env.example` and `src/analytics.ts`. Leave them unset and the server runs with\ntelemetry fully disabled. No customer data, request bodies, tool-argument values, or\nIP addresses are ever sent — only anonymous counts. See strategy doc 73.\n\n```bash\ndocker build -t hellobooks-mcp-public .\ndocker run -p 8080:8080 hellobooks-mcp-public\n```\n\n## Discoverability\n\n- Listed in the [MCP registry](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry).\n- Linked from the marketing site footer and `/mcp` page.\n- Referenced in `https://hellobooks.ai/llms.txt`.\n\n## License\n\nMIT — see `LICENSE`.\n",
