## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1819 tokens (~227/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 5 days we've observed: 12 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions.
- **Tool Coverage**: 94/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 80% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

### 2026-09-23 (score 71)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (8)

### `kbo_company_search` (~154 tokens)

Look up an EU company by VAT or enterprise number in the EU VIES register, Belgian KBO/BCE included: name, VAT id, address, status. 2 credits (EUR 0.02) per successful call; needs a bearer token.

Input parameters:

- `countryCode` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code of the issuing EU member state (uppercase), e.g. BE, NL, DE, FR.
- `vatNumber` (string, required): EU VAT number, with or without its country prefix — e.g. "BE0123456789", "NL855876323B01", "DE811569869" or the bare Belgian enterprise number "0123456789".

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `data` (object)
- `kind` (string)

### `review_invoice` (~360 tokens)

Check one structured invoice before it is sent: Peppol fields, totals and both VAT numbers in EU VIES, with a fix per finding and the UBL XML. It never sends, and a VAT check VIES did not answer is `unknown`, never a pass. It does not look the receiver up: check_peppol_ready does. 8 credits (EUR 0.08) per review the VAT register answered; needs a bearer token.

Input parameters:

- `buyerReference` (string): Buyer reference (BT-10), e.g. a PO or cost-centre code.
- `currency` (string): ISO 4217 currency code (uppercase).
- `customer` (object, required): Buyer / accounting customer party, including an optional draft e-mail recipient.
- `dueDate` (string)
- `invoiceNumber` (string, required): Human-readable invoice number, e.g. "INV-2026-0001".
- `issueDate` (string, required)
- `lines` (array, required)
- `note` (string)
- `orderReference` (string): Purchase order reference (BT-13). Peppol requires this OR a buyer reference.
- `payment` (object): Payment instruction carried by the invoice, when it names an IBAN.
- `supplier` (object, required): Seller / accounting supplier party, including an optional IBAN for the payment check.
- `totalVat` (number): Caller-stated total VAT (BT-110), used by the arithmetic rule checks.
- `totalWithVat` (number): Caller-stated invoice total including VAT (BT-112), used by the arithmetic rule checks.
- `totalWithoutVat` (number): Caller-stated invoice total excluding VAT (BT-109), used by the arithmetic rule checks.

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `data` (object)
- `kind` (string)

### `verify_iban` (~104 tokens)

Check an IBAN's structure and check digits for 70+ countries, offline. It never claims the account exists or who owns it. Free, no token.

Input parameters:

- `expectedCountry` (string): Optional ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country of the party being paid.
- `iban` (string, required): The account number to check, as written — spaces and dashes are fine, e.g. "BE68 5390 0754 7034".

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `kind` (string)

### `check_peppol_ready` (~288 tokens)

Check your own invoice against 21 published Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 rules, and whether the customer's Peppol address is registered; each finding names the rule and the fix. A listed subset, not the official validator. Free, no token.

Input parameters:

- `buyerReference` (string): The reference the customer asked you to put on the invoice (BT-10). Peppol requires this OR an order reference.
- `currency` (string): Three-letter currency code (BT-5), e.g. EUR.
- `customer` (object): The customer, the receiver.
- `documentAllowances` (array): Discounts on the WHOLE invoice, not on one line (BG-20).
- `documentCharges` (array): Charges on the WHOLE invoice, e.g. freight (BG-21).
- `invoiceNumber` (string): The invoice number (BT-1).
- `issueDate` (string): The issue date (BT-2).
- `lines` (array)
- `orderReference` (string): The purchase order number (BT-13).
- `supplier` (object): You, the sender.
- `totalVat` (number): Total VAT (BT-110).
- `totalWithVat` (number): Invoice total including VAT (BT-112).
- `totalWithoutVat` (number): Invoice total excluding VAT (BT-109).

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `kind` (string)

### `lookup_peppol_participant` (~164 tokens)

Ask the live Peppol registers whether a third party can receive e-invoices, which document types, and who to call when a send fails. Never a promise that an invoice arrives. Free, no token.

Input parameters:

- `identifier` (string, required): The customer's enterprise or VAT number, as written on the invoice — "BE 0403.170.701", "0403170701" and "BE0403170701" are all accepted.
- `scheme` (string): The four-digit Peppol scheme the number is registered under, when you know it: "0208" for a Belgian enterprise number (the mandatory primary scheme for Belgian businesses), "9925" for a Belgian VAT n…

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `kind` (string)

### `check_payment_change` (~144 tokens)

Check a supplier's bank-detail change before the vendor record is touched: returns no_change, verify_first, stop or invalid_new_account with call-back steps. It never says an account is safe. Free, no token.

Input parameters:

- `ibanOnFile` (string): The account currently on the vendor record.
- `newIban` (string, required): The account number in the change request, as written — spaces and dashes are fine, e.g. "DE89 3704 0044 0532 0130 00".
- `supplierCountry` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country where the supplier is established, e.g. BE.

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `evidence` (object): Signed decision evidence, present when a signing key is configured.
- `kind` (string)

### `preflight_payment` (~247 tokens)

Call once before you move money for a person: compares what they approved (payee, amount, currency) with what is about to be paid and runs the rail's checks (invoice: IBAN, account change). Returns stop, review_required or no_blockers_found with every check and signed evidence. Never pays; a check that did not run is never a pass. Free, no token.

Input parameters:

- `approved` (object, required)
- `checks` (array): Opt-in registers, run only on a connected door.
- `ibanOnFile` (string): The account on the vendor record.
- `instructionSource` (string)
- `invoice` (object): The invoice as review_invoice takes it.
- `mandate` (object)
- `payment` (object, required)
- `rail` (string, required): Required: approved.amount and payment.amount/currency (not x402); invoice_bank also approved.payee.name, payment.iban/payeeName; card_or_giftcard approved.payee.merchant, payment.merchant/instrument;…

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `evidence` (object): Signed decision evidence, present when a signing key is configured.
- `kind` (string)

### `check_vat_list` (~159 tokens)

Check up to 20 rows of EU VAT numbers in EU VIES, row for row; a malformed or non-EU row is judged locally (`not_covered`, never `invalid`). UNKNOWN COSTS NOTHING, and the balance must cover the whole call (20 credits for 20 rows) before it runs. Optional requesterVatId adds a consultation number registered to you; a requester VIES refuses costs nothing. 1 credit (EUR 0.01) per answered row; needs a bearer token.

Input parameters:

- `requesterVatId` (string): Your OWN EU VAT number with country prefix (e.g. BE0403170701). Never stored.
- `rows` (array, required): The list: 1 to 20 rows per call.

Output parameters:

- `billing` (object)
- `data` (object)
- `kind` (string)
