What is the isvat MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire European VAT validation workflow with isvat, the simple and fast API for tax ID verification. By connecting isvat to your agent, you transform complex VAT lookups into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly verify if a European VAT number is valid without you ever touching a manual lookup tool. Whether you are conducting financial due diligence or managing international invoicing, your agent acts as a real-time compliance assistant, ensuring your tax data is always verified.
What you can do
- VAT Auditing — Verify if any European VAT number is valid and retrieve immediate confirmation status.
- Batch Oversight — Validate multiple VAT numbers simultaneously to maintain strict control over large contact lists.
- Compliance Intelligence — Identify valid tax IDs for businesses across the European Union to assist in financial auditing.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your verification workflow is always operational.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API Key required for isvat?
No. isvat is a free and public service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.
Which countries are supported?
isvat supports VAT validation for all countries within the European Union (EU).
Does the agent retrieve company addresses?
The isvat API primarily returns a boolean validation status. For detailed company metadata, including names and addresses, consider using the VATNode or BrasilAPI servers.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
