The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
check_identifier_format ~158

Free, local-only checks with no registry lookup: CUI checksum, IBAN checksum (and Romanian bank from the code), trade register number format (old and new), company name normalization, and invoice arithmetic (total = net + VAT, Romanian VAT rates, date not in the future). Does not check that the company exists; the last digit of new-format registration numbers (e.g. J2020001234400) is not verified. Free, works without an API key; rate-limited per IP. For registry checks use validate_extracted_company_data.

Install

How do I install the HowToRomania MCP server?

HowToRomania is a hosted endpoint at https://api.howtoromania.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Common questions

What is the HowToRomania MCP server?

HowToRomania is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.howtoromania/api. Romanian company data, e-Factura and legislation: CUI lookup, courts, risk, invoices, laws. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.howtoromania.io/mcp).

Is the HowToRomania MCP server safe to use?

HowToRomania scores 79 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the HowToRomania MCP server expose?

HowToRomania exposes 20 tools: lookup_company, get_company_financials, get_company_court_cases, get_court_case, get_company_risk_report, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,160 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the HowToRomania MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to HowToRomania without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the HowToRomania MCP server still maintained?

HowToRomania is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
