French RNCP/RS certification registers: search, sheets, blocs, validity, SIRET habilitation.

io.github.ALDEBERTArnaud/mcp-rncp MCP Server

MCP server (stdio) that exposes France compétences open data for the French RNCP/RS certification registers. It supports search, full certification sheets, “blocs de compétences” (EDOF), validity/expiry, SIRET habilitations, comparisons, and recent changes, with no API key.

🛠️ Key Features

RNCP/RS register search
Full sheets and blocs de compétences (EDOF)
Validity/expiry handling
SIRET habilitations lookup
Comparisons and recent changes
Uses Node stdio MCP; toolCount: 9

🚀 Use Cases

Retrieve certification details from RNCP/RS datasets
Check whether a certification remains valid
Identify eligible blocs de compétences (EDOF)
Find SIRET habilitations and compare certifications
Monitor recent register changes

⚡ Developer Benefits

No API key required
Local SQLite database with FTS5 (Node ≥ 22.16)
Data download (~90 MB) cached in ~/.cache/mcp-rncp (Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\mcp-rncp)
SHA-256 verification and weekly refresh
Configurable database via --db <rncp.sqlite> (or MCP_RNCP_DB)

⚠️ Limitations

First run requires downloading the dataset
Requires Node ≥ 22.16 and node:sqlite with FTS5

search_certifications

Full-text search (BM25 + French synonyms) over the French national registers of professional certifications: RNCP (diplomas, titles, CQP) and RS (specific register: skills certificates, habilitations). Filter by register, level (3-8), NSF or ROME code. Returns ranked matches with status and expiry date; use get_certification for details. Example (FR): « Quelles certifications de niveau 6 en cybersécurité sont actives ? »

mcp-rncp

MCP server (stdio) for the French RNCP / RS registers of professional certifications — France compétences open data, no API key. Search, full sheets, blocs de compétences (EDOF), validity/expiry, SIRET habilitations, comparisons, recent changes.

json

{ "mcpServers": { "rncp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-rncp"] } } }

Requires Node ≥ 22.16 (node:sqlite with FTS5). First run downloads the data (~90 MB) into ~/.cache/mcp-rncp (Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\mcp-rncp), verifies its SHA-256 and refreshes weekly.

Options: --db <rncp.sqlite> (or MCP_RNCP_DB) to pin a local database, --cache-dir <dir>, --update, --no-update, --help.

Hosted alternative (Streamable HTTP, no install): https://mcp-rncp.com/mcp.

Data: France compétences via data.gouv.fr, Licence Ouverte 2.0 — every answer cites the source and export date. Docs, tools and licence: https://github.com/ALDEBERTArnaud/mcp-rncp
