mcp-einvoicing-core 0.1.0

Base package for European electronic invoicing MCP servers

mcp-einvoicing-core

Topics: mcp mcp-server e-invoicing electronic-invoicing european-invoicing python fastmcp peppol en16931 ubl fatturapa xp-z12-013 xml base-library

Base package for European electronic invoicing MCP servers.

Provides abstract base classes, shared Pydantic models, XML utilities, and an HTTP client so country-specific packages (mcp-facture-electronique-fr, mcp-fattura-elettronica-it, …) share a common foundation without duplicating code.

What this package provides

Module	Contents	Used by
models.py	InvoiceParty, InvoiceLineItem, VATSummary, PaymentTerms, InvoiceDocument, DocumentValidationResult	IT (structured invoice generation), future BE/PL/DE/ES
base_server.py	BaseDocumentGenerator, BaseDocumentValidator, BaseDocumentParser, BaseLifecycleManager, BasePartyValidator, EInvoicingMCPServer	All country adapters
xml_utils.py	format_amount, format_quantity, validate_date_iso, validate_iban, xml_element, xml_optional, format_error, filter_empty_values	IT (extracted verbatim), future XML-based formats
http_client.py	TokenCache, OAuthConfig, BaseEInvoicingClient (OAuth2 + no-auth)	FR (extracted verbatim), future API-based countries
exceptions.py	EInvoicingError, ValidationError, PartyValidationError, XSDValidationError, DocumentGenerationError, AuthenticationError, PlatformError	All country adapters
logging_utils.py	setup_logging, get_logger	All country adapters

Installation

pip install mcp-einvoicing-core

This package has no country-specific dependencies. lxml (needed for XSD validation in IT and future countries) is declared by each country package individually.

Plugin registration pattern

Country packages register their tools on a shared or standalone FastMCP instance:

# Standalone (existing server.py — no changes required)
from fastmcp import FastMCP
mcp = FastMCP(name="mcp-fattura-elettronica-it", instructions="…")
register_header_tools(mcp)
register_body_tools(mcp)
register_global_tools(mcp)

# Multi-country (optional EInvoicingMCPServer)
from mcp_einvoicing_core import EInvoicingMCPServer
server = EInvoicingMCPServer(name="mcp-einvoicing-eu", instructions="…")
server.register_plugin(register_header_tools, "it-header")
server.register_plugin(register_flow_tools, "fr-flow")
server.run()

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Kiro compatibility

Existing configurations for mcp-facture-electronique-fr and mcp-fattura-elettronica-it require no changes: tool names, signatures, environment variables, and entry points (server:main) are fully preserved.

Roadmap compatibility

Country	Standard	Inherits	Overrides	Known gaps
🇫🇷 FR (existing)	XP Z12-013	BaseEInvoicingClient, BaseLifecycleManager	submit_lifecycle_status, healthcheck	None
🇮🇹 IT (existing)	FatturaPA v1.6.1	BaseDocumentGenerator, BaseDocumentValidator, BaseDocumentParser, BasePartyValidator	all abstract methods	to_invoice_document() not yet implemented
🇧🇪 BE 2026	Peppol BIS 3.0	all base classes	generate() → UBL 2.1, validate() → Schematron EN16931	Need BaseSchematronValidator variant
🇵🇱 PL 2026	KSeF FA(2)	BaseDocumentGenerator, BaseDocumentValidator, BaseLifecycleManager	KSeF session auth flow	MTLS auth mode not yet implemented
🇩🇪 DE	ZUGFeRD / XRechnung	all base classes	generate() returns PDF bytes (base64)	generate() return type: str vs bytes ambiguity
🇪🇸 ES	FACeB2B / FacturaE	all base classes	mTLS auth	MTLS auth mode not yet implemented
