Honest Pl Holidays MCP

honest-pl-holidays-mcp

Local MCP server for Polish public holidays and business-day arithmetic. Wraps the open Nager.Date holiday database and adds bookkeeping-friendly business-day math on top.

Part of the honest-mcp family of small, auditable, local-first MCP servers.

Why

Every Polish accountant, JDG owner, or HR person has this problem:

• "Payment term is 14 dni roboczych from invoice date — what's the actual due date?"
• "Is the client's 'termin płatności 2026-05-01' even a business day? (No — that's Święto Pracy.)"
• "Deadline for JPK_V7 is the 25th — but 2026-04-25 is a Saturday, does it slip to Monday?"

This server hands both raw holiday data and business-day arithmetic to your AI. No more spreadsheet calendars.

Supports any country Nager.Date covers (200+), but the API defaults to Poland and the bookkeeping angle is Poland-centric.

Weekend caveat: the weekend is always Saturday + Sunday, whatever country you pass — only the holiday list changes per country. Business-day results for countries with a different weekend (e.g. Friday–Saturday in Egypt) will be wrong.

Features

Six tools:

• list_holidays — all public holidays in a given year
• is_holiday — is this specific date a public holiday?
• is_business_day — is this date Mon–Fri and not a holiday? Includes reason (weekend / holiday / business_day)
• count_business_days — inclusive business-day count between two dates
• add_business_days — start_date + N business days = ? (N can be negative)
• next_holidays — upcoming N holidays from a given date

Data source

• Endpoint: date.nager.at/api/v3
• No API key
• MIT-licensed holiday data
• In-memory cache per year and country — normally one round trip per year and country per session

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

Setup

git clone https://github.com/bartosz-kuc/honest-pl-holidays-mcp.git
cd honest-pl-holidays-mcp
python3 -m venv venv
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

On Windows, use venv\Scripts\pip and venv\Scripts\python instead of venv/bin/pip and venv/bin/python (here and in the configs below).

Register with Claude Code:

claude mcp add pl-holidays /absolute/path/to/venv/bin/python /absolute/path/to/server.py

Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pl-holidays": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Example usage

"Invoice issued today with 14 working-day payment term — when is it due?"

add_business_days(start_date="2026-07-22", days=14) → the due date, skipping weekends and Polish public holidays.

"How many working days between 2026-04-01 and 2026-04-30?"

count_business_days(from_date="2026-04-01", to_date="2026-04-30")

"Is May 1st 2026 a business day in Poland?"

is_business_day(date="2026-05-01") → false, reason: holiday (Święto Pracy).
