Pappers MCP

Overview

Pappers MCP is the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server developed by Pappers, France's leading platform for legal, financial, and corporate information on French companies. It provides AI agents with direct, real-time, and structured access to Pappers' extensive ecosystem of official data sources.

By standardizing the connection through MCP (the open protocol introduced by Anthropic), it transforms generic LLMs into specialized experts on the French business and legal landscape without requiring custom API integrations or manual data handling.

Key Features

• 35+ Specialized Tools: Comprehensive coverage including company identification (SIREN/SIRET), financial key figures, BODACC announcements, annual accounts, directors' history, real estate (DVF), court decisions, and parliamentary activity.
• Advanced Investigation Tools: Actionnariat mapping, group and subsidiary structures, financial solvency scoring, European coverage, PPE/sanctions verification, and AI-assisted legal analysis.
• Siretisation Tool: High-precision reconciliation to clean and enrich your own datasets by matching company names, addresses, and identifiers to official SIREN/SIRET.
• Exclusive "Stratégie" Tool: Guides the AI in structuring financial and legal analyses according to Pappers' expert methodologies, orchestrating tool calls intelligently.
• Real-Time & Official Data: All information comes from verified, up-to-date official sources with full traceability.
• Native Interoperability: Easily combines with other MCP servers (e.g., Data.gouv, internal databases, or CRMs) for powerful multi-source workflows.

Use Cases

• Due Diligence & Investment Research: Ask your AI to perform in-depth company analysis, map ownership structures, or evaluate financial health in natural language.
• Legal & Compliance Work: Retrieve court decisions, check sanctions lists, or analyze jurisprudence with context-aware queries.
• Data Enrichment: Automatically clean and enrich CRM or internal databases using the siretisation tool.
• Competitive Intelligence: Investigate groups, subsidiaries, real estate holdings, and market activity.
• AI-Powered Reporting: Generate structured reports on French companies, directors, or sectors by combining multiple tools seamlessly.

How It Works

1. Create a Pappers account and obtain your API key from the client area.
2. Add the Pappers MCP server URL (https://mcp.pappers.fr/{your-key}) to your AI client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT, or any standard MCP client).
3. The AI automatically discovers the 35+ available tools.
4. Interact in natural language—the agent invokes the right tools (orchestrated by the Stratégie tool) and returns structured, factual responses based on official data.

Example configuration snippet:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pappers": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://mcp.pappers.fr/{votre-clé}"
    }
  }
}

Benefits

• Turns any MCP-compatible AI into a French market expert with fresh, official data.
• Eliminates hallucinations by grounding responses in verified sources.
• Saves time on manual research and API orchestration.
• Supports complex, multi-step investigations through intelligent tool chaining.
