# agentic-firmenbuch

> **Austria's entire company register, queryable by AI agents in plain language.** Official master data, annual accounts and key ratios for every firm – served over MCP, answered on real numbers instead of hallucinations.

**[Try the playground](https://www.agentic-firmenbuch.at/playground.html)**  ·  **[Start free: 50 credits, 7 days](https://www.agentic-firmenbuch.at)**  ·  **[Quickstart ↓](#quickstart)**

A live, automated data product over the Austrian **Firmenbuch** (free EU **HVD** / High Value Datasets), served through a **multi-tenant MCP server**. A deterministic Azure pipeline pulls the published Jahresabschluss (annual financial statement) filings from the official register, parses them, consolidates per company, computes ratios/growth/trends, and serves the result to MCP clients. The whole register holds ~640k legal entities; the served slice is currently ~341k and grows as the backfill progresses. **Version 1** = facts + clean derivations only (no scoring, no third-party enrichment, no NACE, no AI summaries).

> **Also available: Germany and the wider DACH region.** Alongside this Austrian product, a unified **`agentic-register`** endpoint serves both the Austrian **Firmenbuch** and the German **Handelsregister / Unternehmensregister** over a single MCP. It is listed in the official MCP registry as **`io.github.jkbngb/handelsregister`** (spec: [`handelsregister.server.json`](handelsregister.server.json)) and reachable at `https://register.agentic-firmenbuch.at/mcp` with the same account and the same access rules (free trial, then Pro). A search returns matches from both countries, tagged by `country` (`AT` / `DE`).

## Quickstart

**Use the hosted service** – query official Firmenbuch data from an MCP client that accepts an HTTP header key (Claude Code, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, …):

1. Get an API key at **[agentic-firmenbuch.at](https://www.agentic-firmenbuch.at)**. Every new account starts with **50 free credits, valid for 7 days** (1 credit per company, so about 50 companies), one allowance shared by the web console and Claude. After the trial, access from Claude, Cursor or any MCP/API client needs **Pro at €79/month plus VAT**: unlimited queries within fair-use limits (10,000 calls per day, 20,000 export rows and 50 documents per month), cancel monthly. Credit packs are a **web-console** product and do not unlock MCP/API access. (Connecting via a sandboxed client like Claude Cowork/claude.ai grants the 50 credits on first connect, no key needed, see below.)
2. Add the server. **Claude Code** (terminal), one line:
   ```bash
   claude mcp add --scope user --transport http agentic-firmenbuch https://mcp.agentic-firmenbuch.at/mcp --header "X-API-Key: <your-key>"
   ```
   **GitHub Copilot / VS Code**: `code --add-mcp "{\"name\":\"agentic-firmenbuch\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://mcp.agentic-firmenbuch.at/mcp\",\"headers\":{\"X-API-Key\":\"<your-key>\"}}"`. Any other HTTP-MCP-Header client: URL `https://mcp.agentic-firmenbuch.at/mcp`, header `X-API-Key: <your-key>`.
3. Ask in natural language, e.g. *"Aktive GmbHs in Oberösterreich mit Bilanzsumme über 5 Mio. €, sortiert nach Umsatz."* The agent calls `search_companies` / `get_company_details` and answers with official data – no SDK required.

> **Claude Cowork & claude.ai** (sandboxed clients) don't take the API-key header – they connect via `Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector` with the URL `https://mcp.agentic-firmenbuch.at/mcp` and a one-time email login (OAuth, no key).

All tools return a **processed derivative of official Austrian Firmenbuch data** (source: BMJ – Justiz, CC BY 4.0). Concretely: we ingest the published filings from the register, parse and consolidate them, compute ratios, and serve that from our own database — no web scraping, no LLM-generated summaries, no third-party data mixed in (V1). Every response carries `provenance.data_version` + `built_at` and names the original source, so the agent can attribute it correctly; for the authoritative record, the official Firmenbuch always governs.

**Currently served**: ~341,000 active legal entities across all Rechtsformen (GmbH, AG, KG, OG, EU, Genossenschaft, Privatstiftung, SE …). The full register has ~640,000 entities; the gap is companies without a published Jahresabschluss plus inactive/deleted entries, which are added step by step.

## Monorepo layout (`agentic-first`)

This repository is the **`agentic-first`** monorepo umbrella. It separates **source-agnostic
shared code** from **per-source products**, so another source-specific product can be added without
touching the Austrian pipeline:

```
agentic-first/                       (this repo)
├── packages/                        SHARED — source-agnostic, zero Firmenbuch/UGB knowledge
│   ├── core/    (fbl_core)          lineage/meta + metric contracts, config, storage clients
│   └── auth/    (fbl_auth)          signup, token issue/validate, metering, 00_accounts
└── products/
    └── agentic-firmenbuch/           AUSTRIA product (live) — README below
        ├── packages/
        │   ├── core_at/  (fbl_core_at)   UGB taxonomy, Firmenbuch domain models, ÖNACE, FI dirs
        │   ├── firmenbuch_client, 99_registry, 90_ingest, 70_parse,

        │   └── …
        └── tests/                   AT integration tests + golden fixtures
```

Additional source-specific products are added in their **own separate repositories** that consume
`packages/{core,auth}` as a dependency (they are not scaffolded here). The precise
1:1 / adapt / product-local reuse boundary is the **reuse table (Appendix R)** of the technical spec, and the generic recipe is in
[docs/monorepo/ADDING_A_PRODUCT.md](docs/monorepo/ADDING_A_PRODUCT.md).

## Pipeline (numbered layers, `90 → 10`)
```
99_registry (foundation: all companies)  →  90_raw (Blob)  →  70_parsed (Blob)  →  50_consolidated  →  30_derived  →  10_presentation  →  MCP
                                                                        (Cosmos)            (Cosmos)        (Cosmos)
   side: 00_accounts (MCP signup) · 00_directories (register-based FI flag, OeNB)   reserved for v2: 40_enriched, 20_scored
```
`90_raw` is the **immutable source of truth** (every downloaded XML/PDF, kept forever). `70_parsed`
is a **write-through cache** of the per-filing `ParsedFiling` JSON – always re-derivable from raw,
so safe to drop/rebuild; it exists so a reprocess (re-consolidate/derive after a logic change)
**skips re-parsing** all filings, and so the lineage `inputs[]` in each consolidated doc resolve to a
real parsed document. `50/30/10` are the queryable Cosmos layers; `10_presentation` is what the MCP
serves.

## LAYER_MAP – which code owns which layer
Each pipeline-stage package directory is **prefixed with its layer number** so the
owner of every data layer is obvious. (Python module names can't start with a digit, so
the importable package keeps its `fbl_*` name; the number is also exposed as a `LAYER`
constant in each stage package.)

All AT stage packages live under `products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/` (abbreviated `…/` below).

| Layer | Package (dir) | import | Store / container | Pydantic model | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `99_registry` | [`…/99_registry`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/99_registry/README.md) | `fbl_registry` | Cosmos `99_registry` | `RegistryDoc` | §15a.0 doc |
| `90_raw` | [`…/90_ingest`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/90_ingest/README.md) | `fbl_ingest` | Blob `90-raw` | raw `Meta` + manifest | [Stage 0](docs/pipeline-step-samples.md) |
| `70_parsed` | [`…/70_parse`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/70_parse/README.md) | `fbl_parse` | Blob `70-parsed` | `ParsedFiling` | [Stage 1](docs/pipeline-step-samples.md) |
| `50_consolidated` | [`…/50_consolidate`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/50_consolidate/README.md) | `fbl_consolidate` | Cosmos `50_consolidated` | `ConsolidatedCompany` | [Stage 2](docs/pipeline-step-samples.md) |
| `30_derived` | [`…/30_derive`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/30_derive/README.md) | `fbl_derive` | Cosmos `30_derived` | `DerivedCompany` | [Stage 3](docs/pipeline-step-samples.md) |
| `10_presentation` | [`…/10_present`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/10_present/README.md) | `fbl_present` | Cosmos `10_presentation` | `PresentedCompany` | [Stage 4](docs/pipeline-step-samples.md) |

**Un-numbered.** Shared (in `packages/`): [`core`](packages/core/README.md) (`fbl_core`,
source-agnostic lineage/meta + metric contracts, config, storage) and
[`auth`](packages/auth/README.md) (`fbl_auth`, `00_accounts`). AT-specific (in
`products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/`): [`core_at`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/core_at/README.md)
(`fbl_core_at`, UGB taxonomy + Firmenbuch domain models + ÖNACE + FI directories),
[`firmenbuch_client`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/firmenbuch_client/README.md)
(`fbl_firmenbuch_client`, HVD SOAP adapter),
[`orchestration`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/orchestration/README.md)
(`fbl_orchestration`, the `--mode` Job entrypoint),
[`mcp_server`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/packages/mcp_server/README.md)
(`fbl_mcp_server`, serving). Plus [`products/agentic-firmenbuch/tests/`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/tests/README.md) (fixtures),
`docs/` (incl. [API probe findings](docs/API_PROBE_FINDINGS.md)).

## Build status – live in production ✅
All build stages are implemented and the service is **live in production**: the multi-tenant MCP server is
deployed, the daily pipeline runs on a cron, and the backfill keeps growing the served slice. Since the V1
launch the register has gained semantic vector search, ÖNACE/WZ industry classification, register-change
events, German Handelsregister coverage through the unified endpoint, and the trial-then-Pro access model
described above. **`ruff` + `mypy --strict` + `pytest` (with an 80% coverage gate) are green** in CI;
deployment of the backend is manual after review.

## Develop
```bash
uv sync                            # create the workspace venv
uv run pytest                      # all fixture/unit/integration tests (offline)
uv run mypy packages products      # strict types (shared + products)
uv run ruff check packages products  # lint
```
**True end-to-end (live):** a separate, env-flag-guarded test runs a few real FNRs
through every layer (API → `90_raw` → … → `10_presentation` → MCP). Skipped by default.
```bash
FBL_E2E=1 uv run pytest products/agentic-firmenbuch/tests/e2e -q  # needs FIRMENBUCH_API_KEY
```
See [`products/agentic-firmenbuch/tests/e2e/`](products/agentic-firmenbuch/tests/e2e/README.md). It uses in-memory stores + a tiny real pull –
**no Azure, no full backfill** (deployment is manual after review).
