mcp-facture-electronique-fr 🇫🇷

English | Francais

A Python MCP server exposing the standardized AFNOR XP Z12-013 APIs for the French e-invoicing reform (effective September 1, 2026). This project enables AI agents (Claude, IDEs) to interact natively with the Approved Platform (PA/PDP) ecosystem as a Compatible Solution (SC).

Built on

This package is built on top of mcp-einvoicing-core, a shared base library for European e-invoicing MCP servers. It provides the OAuth2 HTTP client, token cache, shared models, logging utilities, and exception hierarchy used by this package.

mcp-einvoicing-core is installed automatically as a transitive dependency, no extra step is needed.

For contributors: pip install -e ".[dev]" installs the base package from PyPI automatically.

🏗️ Architecture

The server acts as an intelligent communication interface between your AI agent and the technical infrastructure of the reform:

[ ERP / Business IS ] <--> [ MCP Server ] <--> [ Approved Platform (PA/PDP) ]
          ^                        |
          |                        v
   [ AI Agent (Claude) ] <--- (XP Z12-013 Standard)

🛠️ Exposed services

Service	Domain	Standard	MCP Tools
Flow Service	Invoice flows and e-reporting	Annex A, v1.1.0	5 tools
Directory Service	Central directory (SIREN/SIRET)	Annex B, v1.1.0	12 tools

🚀 Installation

Via PyPI (recommended)

pip install mcp-facture-electronique-fr

Or without prior installation using uvx:

uvx mcp-facture-electronique-fr

From source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/cmendezs/mcp-facture-electronique-fr.git
cd mcp-facture-electronique-fr

# Create the virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install in editable mode
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Initial configuration
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with the credentials provided by your PA/PDP

⚙️ Configuration (.env)

The server requires the following variables to authenticate with an Approved Platform (PA):

Variable	Description
PA_BASE_URL_FLOW	Base URL of the PA Flow Service
PA_BASE_URL_DIRECTORY	Base URL of the PA Directory Service
PA_CLIENT_ID	OAuth2 Client ID
PA_CLIENT_SECRET	OAuth2 Client Secret
PA_TOKEN_URL	Authentication server URL
HTTP_TIMEOUT	Request timeout (default: 30s)

🤖 Claude Desktop integration

To use this server with Claude, add this configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "facture-electronique-fr": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-facture-electronique-fr"],
      "env": {
        "PA_BASE_URL_FLOW": "https://api.votre-pdp.fr/flow",
        "PA_BASE_URL_DIRECTORY": "https://api.votre-pdp.fr/directory",
        "PA_CLIENT_ID": "votre-id",
        "PA_CLIENT_SECRET": "votre-secret",
        "PA_TOKEN_URL": "https://auth.votre-pdp.fr/oauth/token"
      }
    }
  }
}

⌨️ Cursor integration

Cursor supports MCP servers via stdio. Add the configuration in:

• Global (all projects): ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• Project (this repository only): .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "facture-electronique-fr": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-facture-electronique-fr"],
      "env": {
        "PA_BASE_URL_FLOW": "https://api.votre-pdp.fr/flow",
        "PA_BASE_URL_DIRECTORY": "https://api.votre-pdp.fr/directory",
        "PA_CLIENT_ID": "votre-id",
        "PA_CLIENT_SECRET": "votre-secret",
        "PA_TOKEN_URL": "https://auth.votre-pdp.fr/oauth/token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload the Cursor window (Ctrl+Shift+P then Reload Window) to apply the changes.

🪐 Kiro integration

Kiro supports MCP servers via its dedicated configuration file. Two levels are available:

• Global (all projects): ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json
• Workspace (this repository only): .kiro/settings/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "facture-electronique-fr": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-facture-electronique-fr"],
      "env": {
        "PA_BASE_URL_FLOW": "https://api.votre-pdp.fr/flow",
        "PA_BASE_URL_DIRECTORY": "https://api.votre-pdp.fr/directory",
        "PA_CLIENT_ID": "votre-id",
        "PA_CLIENT_SECRET": "votre-secret",
        "PA_TOKEN_URL": "https://auth.votre-pdp.fr/oauth/token"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

The file is automatically reloaded on save. You can also open the config via the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) then MCP.

Kiro security tip: rather than writing secrets in plain text, use the syntax "PA_CLIENT_SECRET": "${PA_CLIENT_SECRET}", Kiro resolves shell environment variables at startup.
