eleata e-invoice MCP server
Validate EU electronic invoices and explain validation error codes directly from your AI coding agent (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, …). It wraps the hosted eleata validation API plus a bundled offline error-code reference.
Never ship a broken invoice. When you ask your agent "is this FatturaPA / XRechnung / Peppol file valid?", it runs the official Schematron rules and gets back the rule id and the fix — before a rejection (an SdI scarto, a Chorus Pro refusal, a KSeF error) ever happens.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | API key |
|---|---|---|
validate_einvoice | Validate one invoice (Peppol BIS 3.0, EN 16931 UBL/CII, XRechnung 3.0.x, Factur-X/ZUGFeRD, UBL, CII). Returns valid/invalid + each rule id, explanation and fix. | required |
list_formats | List the formats eleata validates today + roadmap. | none |
explain_error_code | Explain one error code (e.g. 00400, BR-DE-21) in plain English, with the fix. Works offline. | none |

and explain_error_code are local/offline (the error-code reference is bundled). See
