EU VAT Validator (VIES) MCP server

MCP Factory: pay-per-use MCP tools for AI agents

MCP Factory builds small, reliable, pay-per-use tools that AI agents can call over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Each tool runs as an Apify Actor and is exposed through Apify's hosted MCP server — no installation, no infrastructure, no subscription. Your agent calls the tool directly; usage bills through your Apify account at flat, transparent per-result prices.

The tools

🔍 Tech Stack Detector

Find out what any website is built with. Scans a list of URLs and identifies the technologies behind each site — CMS, ecommerce platform, web frameworks, analytics, CDN, web server, and more — using the open-source webappanalyzer fingerprint dataset (7,500+ technologies across 109 categories). A fast, affordable Wappalyzer / BuiltWith alternative at roughly $5 per 1,000 sites.

🧾 EU VAT Validator

Validate EU VAT numbers in bulk against VIES, the European Commission's official VAT validation service — and get the official consultation number on every check as audit evidence for tax inspections. Bulk-safe with automatic retries, tolerant of messy input formats, $5 per 1,000 validations flat.

🤖 llms.txt Checker

A complete AI readiness audit for any website in one pass: checks llms.txt, llms-full.txt, robots.txt AI-crawler policy (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider), and sitemap.xml, then returns a 0–100 AI readiness score with a plain-English list of exactly what to fix. ~$5 per 1,000 sites.
