AU-BizIntel MCP Server
Australian Business Intelligence for AI Agents
Built by LJ Digital — connecting AI agents to real Australian business data.
What It Does
Gives any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Kilo Code, etc.) instant access to the Australian Business Register (ABR) — plus AI-powered business intelligence. Search 8M+ registered Australian entities by name or ABN, get full profiles, check GST status, and get an AI-generated opportunity assessment for any business.
