MCP tools · 16 exposed · ~4,983 tokens

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
classify_address ~291

Classify a postal address as structured, hybrid, or unstructured. Use this to see where an address stands against the SWIFT structured-address rule: ``structured`` (town + country + structured detail, no free-form lines), ``hybrid`` (town + country + 1-2 free-form ``adr_line`` lines, the minimum CBPR+ UG2026 bar), or ``unstructured`` (free-form only — rejected from the cliff date). To check acceptability under a policy use ``validate_address``; to upgrade legacy lines use ``repair_address``. Returns ``{"classification": str, "is_structured": bool, "is_hybrid": bool, "is_unstructured": bool, "has_structured_fields": bool}`` or an ``{"error": ...}`` payload. Args: address: The postal address as a dict of snake_case fields.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressobjectyesAn ISO 20022 PostalAddress27 as a dict of snake_case fields, e.g. {'strt_nm': 'High St', 'bldg_nb': '1', 'pst_cd': 'AB1 2CD', 'twn_nm': 'London', 'ctry': 'GB'} and optional 'adr_line' (list of free-f…

No examples provided.

convert_mt103 ~255

Convert a legacy SWIFT MT103 into pacs.008-ready flat records. This is the SWIFT MT-to-MX migration path (correspondent-banking MT103 coexistence with ISO 20022 ends November 2025): parse an MT103 text payload and get back the flat pacs.008 record(s) that can be fed straight into ``validate_records`` / ``generate_message``. An MT103 carries exactly one transfer, so the ``records`` list always holds a single record. No file is read or written. Returns ``{"message_type": "pacs.008.001.08", "records": [{...}]}`` with the parsed flat record, or an ``{"error": ...}`` payload if the MT103 is missing a mandatory field (``:20:``, ``:32A:``, beneficiary) or malformed. Args: mt103_text: The MT103 payload as a string.

NameTypeReqDescription
mt103_textstringyesA legacy SWIFT MT103 (single customer credit transfer) payload as text. A raw '{4:...-}' block-4 envelope, trailing whitespace and CRLF/LF differences are tolerated.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

generate_message ~428

Generate a validated ISO 20022 pacs XML message from in-memory records. This is the primary generation tool: pass payment records you already hold in memory and receive an XSD-validated XML document; no file is written. Run ``validate_records`` first to surface record-level errors, and ``list_message_types`` to confirm the ``message_type`` string. Returns the validated XML document as a string, or an ``{"error": ...}`` payload (serialized) if generation fails. Args: message_type: A supported ISO 20022 pacs message type. records: One or more flat payment records.

NameTypeReqDescription
message_typestringyesA supported ISO 20022 pacs message type, e.g. 'pacs.008.001.08' FI-to-FI Customer Credit Transfer. Must be exactly one of: 'pacs.002.001.12', 'pacs.003.001.09', 'pacs.004.001.11', 'pacs.007.001.11',…
recordsarrayyesOne or more flat payment records, each a dict of field name -> value, from which the pacs XML is generated; run validate_records first to surface record-level errors.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes

No examples provided.

get_input_schema ~343

Return the full JSON Schema for a message type's flat input record. Use this to learn every field, its type, and its constraints before assembling records, or to drive a form/UI. For just the required-field names use ``get_required_fields``; to check records against this schema use ``validate_records``. Args: message_type: A supported ISO 20022 pacs message type.

NameTypeReqDescription
message_typestringyesA supported ISO 20022 pacs message type, e.g. 'pacs.008.001.08' FI-to-FI Customer Credit Transfer. Must be exactly one of: 'pacs.002.001.12', 'pacs.003.001.09', 'pacs.004.001.11', 'pacs.007.001.11',…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_required_fields ~330

List only the required input field names for a pacs message type. Use this for a quick checklist of the mandatory columns before building payment records. For full type/format constraints (not just which fields are required), call ``get_input_schema`` instead. Args: message_type: A supported ISO 20022 pacs message type.

NameTypeReqDescription
message_typestringyesA supported ISO 20022 pacs message type, e.g. 'pacs.008.001.08' FI-to-FI Customer Credit Transfer. Must be exactly one of: 'pacs.002.001.12', 'pacs.003.001.09', 'pacs.004.001.11', 'pacs.007.001.11',…
NameTypeReqDescription
resultarrayyes

No examples provided.

get_scheme ~215

Return the rule attributes of a scheme / usage-guideline profile. Use this to inspect a rail's constraints -- whether the UETR is mandatory, the permitted charge bearers, remittance-info length cap, per-message transaction cardinality, pinned message versions, and which parties must carry an LEI -- before assembling or validating a batch. Args: scheme: A registered scheme profile name (see ``list_schemes``).

NameTypeReqDescription
schemestringyesA registered scheme / usage-guideline profile name (case-insensitive), e.g. 'cbpr_plus', 'fedwire', 'chaps'. Must be one of: 'cbpr+', 'cbpr_plus', 'cbprplus', 'chaps', 'fedwire', 'generic', 'hvps+',…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_message_types ~123

List every supported ISO 20022 pacs message type and its human name. Use this first, before any generation or validation call, to discover the exact ``message_type`` strings this server accepts (e.g. ``pacs.008.001.08`` FI-to-FI Customer Credit Transfer). To learn a type's required fields or full schema, call ``get_required_fields`` or ``get_input_schema`` instead. Returns a list of ``{"message_type": ..., "name": ...}`` dictionaries, one per supported message type.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
resultarrayyes

No examples provided.

list_schemes ~129

List every registered scheme / usage-guideline profile. Scheme profiles (CBPR+, HVPS+, Fedwire, CHAPS, T2 RTGS, SCT Inst, generic) layer rail-specific rules on top of base ISO 20022. Use this to discover the ``scheme`` names accepted by ``get_scheme`` and ``validate_scheme``. Registry aliases (e.g. ``cbpr+``, ``cbprplus``) collapse to their canonical profile, so each profile appears exactly once. Returns a list of ``{"scheme": ..., "name": ...}`` dictionaries.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
resultarrayyes

No examples provided.

parse_message ~179

Parse and classify an inbound ISO 20022 XML message. Use this on the receiving side to identify what a message is -- its ``msg_def_idr`` (e.g. ``pacs.002.001.10``), family, version, and any Business Application Header -- before processing it. Handles both bare ``Document`` messages and BAH-wrapped envelopes. Returns a dict with ``msg_def_idr``, ``msg_family``, ``version``, ``root_local_name``, ``namespace_uri``, ``envelope_wrapped`` and ``bah``. Args: xml: The raw inbound XML message.

NameTypeReqDescription
xmlstringyesA raw inbound ISO 20022 XML message (pacs.008 / pacs.002 / pacs.004, optionally BAH-envelope-wrapped) to classify.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

repair_address ~257

Upgrade legacy unstructured address lines toward hybrid/structured form. Experimental country-aware repair (``GB``, ``US``, ``DE``, ``FR``, ``JP`` have dedicated heuristics; other countries get a best-effort pass promoting the last line to a town). Use this to lift pre-cliff data over the November 14, 2026 bar; audit the output before submitting, and keep both the original and derived address in your audit trail. Returns ``{"address": {...}, "classification": str, "is_structured": bool, "is_hybrid": bool}`` (so you can see the unstructured -> hybrid / structured upgrade) or an ``{"error": ...}`` payload. Args: lines: Legacy unstructured address lines. country: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code driving the heuristics.

NameTypeReqDescription
countrystringyesISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. 'GB', 'US', 'DE', 'FR', 'JP') used to drive country-aware repair heuristics.
linesarrayyesLegacy unstructured address lines (free-form). Empty or whitespace-only lines are skipped.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_address ~381

Validate one postal address against an address policy. Use this to decide whether an address will clear a rail. The default ``hybrid_or_structured`` policy is the November 14, 2026 cliff rule (SWIFT CBPR+, HVPS+, T2 RTGS, CHAPS, Fedwire, Lynx): it rejects fully unstructured addresses. Findings mirror the library's pipeline severity (a policy rejection is a blocking finding). Returns ``{"policy": str, "classification": str, "is_acceptable": bool, "findings": [{"severity": str, "message": str}, ...]}`` or an ``{"error": ...}`` payload. Args: address: The postal address as a dict of snake_case fields. policy: The validation policy to enforce (see the enum values).

NameTypeReqDescription
addressobjectyesAn ISO 20022 PostalAddress27 as a dict of snake_case fields, e.g. {'strt_nm': 'High St', 'bldg_nb': '1', 'pst_cd': 'AB1 2CD', 'twn_nm': 'London', 'ctry': 'GB'} and optional 'adr_line' (list of free-f…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_addresses ~366

Batch-validate every party address across a list of payment rows. Use this before ``generate_message`` to catch addresses that will be rejected at the rail. The default ``hybrid_or_structured`` policy enforces the November 14, 2026 cliff. Each finding is reported per offending ``(row, party)`` pair. Returns ``{"policy": str, "is_valid": bool, "total": int, "errors": [{"row": int, "party": str, "severity": str, "message": str, "classification": str}, ...]}`` or an ``{"error": ...}`` payload. Args: addresses: One or more payment-row dicts (see the field description). policy: The validation policy to enforce (see the enum values).

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_records ~415

Validate flat payment records against a message type's JSON Schema. Use this before ``generate_message`` to catch structural/type errors per record and get a row-by-row error report. This checks JSON-Schema shape only; to check a batch against a rail's usage guidelines use ``validate_scheme``. Returns a report ``{"is_valid": bool, "total": int, "valid": int, "errors": [...]}``. Args: message_type: A supported ISO 20022 pacs message type. records: One or more flat payment records to validate.

NameTypeReqDescription
message_typestringyesA supported ISO 20022 pacs message type, e.g. 'pacs.008.001.08' FI-to-FI Customer Credit Transfer. Must be exactly one of: 'pacs.002.001.12', 'pacs.003.001.09', 'pacs.004.001.11', 'pacs.007.001.11',…
recordsarrayyesOne or more flat payment records, each a dict of field name -> value; validated against the message type's input JSON Schema (see get_input_schema / get_required_fields).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_scheme ~316

Validate payment records against a scheme's usage-guideline rules. Use this to check a batch against a rail's rulebook (CBPR+, HVPS+, Fedwire, CHAPS, T2 RTGS, SCT Inst) -- charge-bearer restrictions, UETR presence, remittance-info length, and per-message transaction cardinality. This is complementary to ``validate_records`` (JSON-Schema shape). Returns ``{"scheme": str, "is_valid": bool, "total": int, "violations": [...]}``. Args: scheme: A registered scheme profile name (see ``list_schemes``). records: One or more flat payment records to check.

NameTypeReqDescription
recordsarrayyesOne or more flat payment records, each a dict of field name -> value; checked against the scheme's usage-guideline business rules (charge bearer, UETR, remittance length, per-message cardinality).
schemestringyesA registered scheme / usage-guideline profile name (case-insensitive), e.g. 'cbpr_plus', 'fedwire', 'chaps'. Must be one of: 'cbpr+', 'cbpr_plus', 'cbprplus', 'chaps', 'fedwire', 'generic', 'hvps+',…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_xml ~381

Validate a raw XML string against a message type's bundled XSD. Use this to check an externally produced XML document against the official ISO 20022 schema. To generate a document that is already XSD-validated, use ``generate_message`` instead. Returns ``{"message_type": str, "is_valid": bool}``. Args: message_type: A supported ISO 20022 pacs message type. xml: The raw XML document to validate.

NameTypeReqDescription
message_typestringyesA supported ISO 20022 pacs message type, e.g. 'pacs.008.001.08' FI-to-FI Customer Credit Transfer. Must be exactly one of: 'pacs.002.001.12', 'pacs.003.001.09', 'pacs.004.001.11', 'pacs.007.001.11',…
xmlstringyesA raw ISO 20022 XML document to validate against the bundled XSD schema for the given message type.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verify_bic_online ~574

Verify a BIC structurally, optionally enriched by a directory lookup. Two-stage verification. First an OFFLINE ISO 9362 structural check (via the pacs008 library): confirms the 8- or 11-character shape and that the country code (chars 5-6) is a valid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. A malformed BIC returns ``{"bic": ..., "is_structurally_valid": False, "error": ...}`` and stops there. Then, only if a directory endpoint is configured (the ``directory_url`` argument or the ``PACS008_BIC_DIRECTORY_URL`` environment variable), the tool performs a read-only HTTP GET against that endpoint and folds whatever institution ``name``/``city``/``country``/``status`` it returns into a ``directory`` sub-dict. There is no free authoritative SWIFT BIC directory, so with NO endpoint configured the tool returns the structural result plus a ``note`` and ``directory: null`` -- it never fabricates a bank name. Online lookups require the optional ``online`` extra (``pip install 'pacs008-mcp[online]'``, which pulls in ``httpx``); without it the tool still returns the structural result plus an ``error`` explaining the missing extra. Endpoint 4xx/5xx responses and transport failures are likewise reported as a graceful ``error`` alongside the structural result. Returns a dict with ``bic``, ``is_structurally_valid``, ``bank_code``, ``country_code``, ``location_code``, ``branch_code``, ``length`` and either ``directory`` (a dict of institution details, or ``null``) plus, when applicable, ``note`` / ``error``. Args: bic: The BIC / SWIFT code to verify. directory_url: Optional directory endpoint for online enrichment.

NameTypeReqDescription
bicstringyesA BIC / SWIFT code to verify (ISO 9362), 8 or 11 characters, e.g. 'DEUTDEFF' or 'DEUTDEFF500'. Spaces and hyphens are stripped and the value is upper-cased before checking.
directory_urlOptional base URL of a BIC directory / reference-data endpoint to enrich the result with institution details. The tool issues a read-only HTTP GET with a '?bic=<BIC>' query parameter and parses the J…

Common questions

What is the io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp server?

io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp. ISO 20022 pacs.008 FI-to-FI credit transfers: generate, validate, parse, scheme + address checks. This page covers its PyPI package (pacs008-mcp).

Is the io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp scores 70 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. 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 io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp server expose?

io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp exposes 16 tools: list_message_types, list_schemes, get_scheme, get_required_fields, get_input_schema, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 4,983 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp server under?

io.github.sebastienrousseau/pacs008-mcp declares the Apache-2.0 OR MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
