REGON (Polish business register)

regon-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants clean, typed access to the Polish REGON business register (GUS BIR1). Look up any Polish company by NIP, REGON, or KRS and get back structured data — name, address, legal form, activity codes — without touching the underlying SOAP API.

The official GUS BIR1 API is a WCF SOAP service with WS-Addressing, MTOM multipart responses, an HTTP-header session token, and XML-nested-inside-XML result payloads. regon-mcp hides all of that behind a handful of simple tools.

Built and maintained by Smart Mobile House — secure AI implementation for enterprise.

Tools

Every response includes a source block that names the register (REGON / GUS), the environment, and a UTC retrieved_at timestamp — so downstream use can cite the data correctly, as GUS requires.

Quick start

No install needed — run it straight from the repo with uv:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/SmartMobileHouse/regon-mcp regon-mcp

By default it uses the public test key against the anonymized GUS test database, so it runs with zero setup. For live data, request a free USER_KEY from regon_bir@stat.gov.pl and set the environment variables below.

Use it in Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or a project .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "regon": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/SmartMobileHouse/regon-mcp", "regon-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "REGON_API_KEY": "your-user-key",
        "REGON_ENV": "prod"
      }
    }
  }
}

During development, point it at a local checkout instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "regon": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "/absolute/path/to/regon-mcp", "regon-mcp"],
      "env": { "REGON_API_KEY": "abcde12345abcde12345" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Use REGON_ENV=prod only with a real USER_KEY; the test key works only against the test environment.

Development

git clone https://github.com/SmartMobileHouse/regon-mcp
cd regon-mcp
uv sync                 # create the venv and install deps
uv run pytest           # offline tests: validation, parsing, mocked client,
                        # and an in-memory MCP tool-discovery smoke test.
                        # (network tests are deselected by default)
uv run regon-mcp        # run the server over stdio

# Live tests against the GUS endpoint (deselected unless opted in):
REGON_RUN_NETWORK=1 uv run pytest -m network            # session lifecycle (test env)
REGON_PROD_KEY=<your-key> uv run pytest -m network      # positive-control on live data

The client is a small hand-rolled SOAP layer over httpx (see src/regon_mcp/client.py) — no heavyweight SOAP stack, no runtime WSDL fetch.

Notes & limitations

• The GUS test database is anonymized and returns little or no entity data. Meaningful results require a production USER_KEY with REGON_ENV=prod.
• Respect the GUS terms of use and rate limits. This project is an independent open-source client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by GUS.
• Data belongs to GUS. When you present it, cite REGON / GUS with the retrieval date (surfaced in every response's source block).
