EU VAT lookup for Claude
An MCP connector that lets Claude check EU VAT numbers in VIES, the European Commission's VAT Information Exchange System: whether a number is valid for intra-EU trade and, where the member state shares them, the registered name and address. It covers the EU member states and Northern Ireland. No account or API key is needed.
