mcp-india-stack: Open-source MCP server for Indian financial APIs
mcp-india-stack is an open-source MCP server that gives Claude native access to Indian financial and government APIs. According to the developer, it appears to be the first MCP server in this specific domain.
Key Details
The server provides seven tools with zero authentication required and follows an offline-first approach:
validate_gstin— Validates GSTIN format, checksum, and decodes state/PAN informationlookup_ifsc— Looks up 177k bank branches using the Razorpay dataset with live fallback capabilityvalidate_pan— Validates PAN format and decodes entity typevalidate_upi_vpa— Validates UPI VPA format and identifies providerslookup_pincode— Looks up 160k records covering all post officeslookup_hsn_code— Searches 22k+ GST codes with keyword search functionalitydecode_state_code— Decodes all 36 Indian GST state codes
The package is built with FastMCP and released under MIT license. Installation is straightforward:
pip install mcp-india-stackThe developer mentions that a future update will bring "a big change" and is seeking feedback from users implementing it in agent workflows.
