Connect VATNode MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect VATNode to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Validate VAT numbers across multiple jurisdictions.
The `validate_vat_number` tool checks if a given VAT number is valid. Cascade handles the flow: you provide a list of IDs, and it validates them all sequentially, pulling back associated company metadata for every result. It's perfect when you need to audit multiple entities quickly. Instead of running one check at a time, Windsurf lets Cascade run through dozens of numbers and group the successful retrievals.
Get complete tax information for any country.
Need tax details? Use `get_country_tax_info` to gather additional tax data specific to a nation. This isn't just about VAT; you get the whole picture of local tax rules. Cascade plans this out automatically. You tell it 'check Mexico,' and it executes the necessary calls to pull together country-specific rules, making sure your plan covers every angle.
List and compare VAT rates globally.
The `list_all_vat_rates` tool retrieves VAT rates for all supported countries in one go. This is your starting point when you don't know where to look. Want to narrow it down? You can pipe this data into other steps, letting Cascade run a comparison against the current rates fetched by `get_country_vat_rates` for specific markets.
