MCP connector

Ironhat runs a hosted MCP server — nothing to install. Point any MCP-capable client at the endpoint with your API key and your agent gets official EU company data as native tools.

Endpoint & auth

Endpoint	`https://ironhathq.com/api/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Auth (header)	`Authorization: Bearer ih_live_…`
Auth (URL)	`…/api/mcp?key=ih_live_…` — for clients that can't set headers. Treat the URL as a secret.

Connect by client

Tools

Responses are readable markdown — your agent can present them directly.

Tool	What it does
`company_briefing`	Start here. Name or register number in → profile, balance-sheet table with YoY, filings on record, next-step options. One call.
`search_company`	Find companies by name in the official register.
`get_company`	Registry profile for one company by register number.
`get_financials`	Official balance-sheet figures for up to 5 fiscal years.
`list_filings`	Every annual account on file, with filing dates.

Prompts that work well

“Give me a company briefing on Red Bull in Austria.”
“How did Zitronenblau GmbH's equity develop over the last two years?”
“Is VAT ID ATU80966304 valid, and who is it registered to?”
“We're onboarding a Vienna supplier — check them out before we sign.”

Limits

Free tier: 500 requests / month per account, shared between MCP and REST. Over the limit the server returns a clear message; usage resets on the 1st. See Pricing & limits.
