mcp-fattura-elettronica-it 🇮🇹

English | Italiano

A Python MCP server for Italian electronic invoicing in FatturaPA XML format (SDI / Agenzia delle Entrate standard, version 1.2.3). It enables AI agents (Claude, IDEs) to generate, validate, and analyze B2B, B2G, and cross-border electronic invoices that are directly compliant with the technical specifications of the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI).

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing 42 tools covering the full lifecycle of a FatturaPA XML document: transmission header construction, seller/buyer validation, document type codes (TD01-TD28), line items, VAT summary computation, payment terms, XSD validation against the official Agenzia delle Entrate schema (v1.2.3), XML generation, parsing, JSON export, SDI filename generation, withholding tax (ritenuta d'acconto) calculation, digital signatures (XAdES-BES and CAdES-BES), direct SDI transmission via SDICoop SOAP, SDI notification parsing, and conservazione sostitutiva (legally compliant archiving per AgID). Licensed under Apache 2.0.

🚀 Installation

Via PyPI (recommended)

pip install mcp-fattura-elettronica-it

mcp-einvoicing-core is installed automatically as a dependency. lxml is also required and included, so no extra steps are needed.

Without prior installation, using uvx:

uvx mcp-fattura-elettronica-it

From source

git clone https://github.com/cmendezs/mcp-fattura-elettronica-it.git
cd mcp-fattura-elettronica-it

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -e ".[dev]"
cp .env.example .env

Simplified invoices: FatturaSemplificata VFSM10 (3 tools)

Tool	Description
generate_fattura_semplificata	Generate a simplified invoice XML (TD07/TD08/TD09) using VFSM10 format
validate_fattura_semplificata_xsd	Validate a simplified invoice XML against the VFSM10 XSD v1.0.2
parse_fattura_semplificata_xml	Parse a simplified invoice XML into a structured dict

Simplified invoices (art. 21-bis DPR 633/72) are valid for transactions up to EUR 400 (tax-inclusive). They use a flatter structure than ordinary FatturaPA: no per-line VAT breakdown, no DatiRiepilogo. Each DatiBeniServizi entry carries its own Descrizione, Importo, and DatiIVA. The VFSM10 format uses namespace v1.0 and is separate from the EN 16931 CIUS used by ordinary invoices.

Digital signatures (2 tools)

Tool	Description
sign_fattura_xades	Apply XAdES-BES enveloped XML signature (.xml). Requires PKCS#12 cert.
sign_fattura_cades	Apply CAdES-BES CMS/PKCS#7 attached signature (.xml.p7m). Requires PKCS#12 cert.

Both signature formats are accepted by SDI (Specifiche tecniche SDI v1.8.4, section 2.1). Supports dual mode: signer microservice (keeps keys out of the MCP process) or direct PKCS#12 loading. Requires cryptography>=42.0.0 (installed via the [xml-sign] extra on mcp-einvoicing-core).

SDI integration (5 tools)

Tool	Description
submit_to_sdi	Submit a signed invoice to SDI via SDICoop SOAP (mTLS)
check_sdi_status	Check submission status by IdentificativoSDI

send_esito_committente	Send acceptance (EC01) or rejection (EC02) to SDI
get_sdi_channel_info	Show current SDI channel configuration

Requires AdE accreditation for production use. Configure via SDI_CERT_PATH, SDI_CERT_PASSWORD, SDI_ENVIRONMENT (test/production), and SDI_ENDPOINT_URL (override) environment variables.

Conservazione sostitutiva / archiving (5 tools)

Tool	Description
archive_invoice	Archive a signed invoice with SHA-256 hash and 10-year retention
retrieve_archived_invoice	Retrieve an archived document by ID
verify_archive_integrity	Verify SHA-256 hash integrity of an archived document
list_archived_invoices	List all archived invoices
build_pacchetto_versamento	Build a PdV ZIP archive for transfer to an AgID-accredited conservator

Per AgID circolare 65/2014 and DM 17/06/2014, electronic invoices must be archived for a minimum of 10 years. The local filesystem backend is for development only; production requires integration with an AgID-accredited conservazione provider.

Usage examples

Example 1: Generate a complete B2B invoice

1. validate_partita_iva_format("01234567897")
   → { "valid": true }

2. generate_progressivo_invio(sequence=1)
   → { "progressivo_invio": "00001" }

3. build_transmission_header(id_paese="IT", id_codice="01234567897",
     progressivo_invio="00001", formato_trasmissione="FPR12",
     codice_destinatario="ABC123")

  }

Example 3: Look up VAT exemption codes

get_natura_codes()
→ codes: [
    { "code": "N3.1", "description": "Non imponibili — esportazioni",
      "legal_ref": "Art. 8 DPR 633/72" },
    { "code": "N6.1", "description": "Inversione contabile — rottami",
      "legal_ref": "Art. 74 c. 7-8 DPR 633/72" },
    ...
  ]
