FAQ

How the mapping works

  • 01

    Can the AI add new industries to the IBGE list?

    No. The AI can only read and navigate the existing IBGE taxonomy provided by the MCP.

  • 02

    Does the AI update the official CNAE codes?

    No. The AI only retrieves the current official data. It cannot modify the IBGE database.

  • 03

    Can I use this to classify my own company list?

    Yes. Once the AI has the hierarchy, you can ask it to match your list of companies to the correct CNAE classes.

  • 04

    What levels of the hierarchy can the AI access?

    The AI can access sections, divisions, and classes using the available tools.

  • 05

    The AI can format the data as a table or a list for you to copy, but it does not write directly to your local files.
