# gstinapi-mcp
An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for [gstinapi.in](https://www.gstinapi.in) — GSTIN verification, GST return/compliance history, HSN/SAC code lookup, and India's MCA company registry, callable directly from Claude and other MCP clients.
This is a thin wrapper around the REST API at [gstinapi.in/docs](https://www.gstinapi.in/docs). It holds no logic of its own — every tool call is one authenticated HTTP request, and the response is returned as-is.
## Setup
1. Get a free API key — 100 lookups on signup, no card required: https://www.gstinapi.in/register
2. Add this server to your MCP client config, e.g. for Claude Desktop / Claude Code (`claude_desktop_config.json` or `.mcp.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gstinapi": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gstinapi-mcp"],
"env": {
"GSTINAPI_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
```
No install step — `npx` fetches it on first use.
## Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `verify_gstin` | Live registration lookup: legal name, status, taxpayer type, address |
| `get_gstin_returns` | GSTR-1/3B filing history for a financial year |
| `get_gstin_compliance` | Filing history summarised — counts, lag, last period |
| `get_gstin_filing_preference` | Monthly vs quarterly (QRMP), quarter by quarter |
| `resolve_gstin_to_company` | Probable MCA company match for a GSTIN (not authoritative — see caveat below) |
| `lookup_hsn_code` | Official description for an HSN/SAC code |
| `search_hsn_codes` | Find HSN/SAC codes from a description |
| `lookup_mca_company` | Company master data by CIN |
| `search_mca_companies` | Fuzzy company name search |
| `get_usage_stats` | Today's call count for the key (free) |

## Accuracy notes
- Every GSTIN lookup queries the GST network live — nothing is cached.
- `resolve_gstin_to_company` is a **probabilistic** match, not an official mapping — no government dataset links a GSTIN to a CIN. Treat it as a scored guess (`high`/`medium`/`low` confidence), never as a confirmed fact.
- No GST rate is returned from the HSN endpoints — a rate depends on more than the code alone, and the government's own master publishes no rate column.
