India MCP

What india-mcp MCP server does

india-mcp MCP server packages several Indian service integrations behind the Model Context Protocol. The repository lists dedicated servers for six domains: GST, railways, RTO, banking, stocks, and eCourts. Each domain exposes its own set of tools and can be launched independently, allowing a client configuration to include only the services an agent needs.

The supported use cases cover GSTIN and HSN validation, tax calculations, train status and PNR enquiries, train schedules, vehicle registration information, road-tax calculations, IFSC lookup, UPI validation, bank status, NSE and BSE market data, and eCourts case information. The eCourts server also covers orders and cause-list retrieval.

How it works

The package provides a command-line launcher that accepts a server name. Commands such as india-mcp stocks, india-mcp gst, and india-mcp ecourts start the corresponding MCP service. The package can also be invoked through npx, which avoids a global installation.

A shared resilience layer handles network requests across the services. According to the project documentation, calls can be retried twice with exponential backoff, responses can be held in an in-memory TTL cache, and configured fallback sources can be used when a primary source is unavailable. The project also describes normalized tool responses and browser-compliant request headers for services that require particular request behavior.

Setup and configuration

Install the package globally with:

npm install -g @samarth-23-eng/india-mcp

Alternatively, run a server without installing it globally:

npx @samarth-23-eng/india-mcp stocks

The command-line interface includes list to show available servers and --help for usage information. Claude Desktop configuration is documented using the command value npx and arguments containing -y, the package name, and the selected server name. Separate entries can be created for services such as stocks, eCourts, and GST. Cursor is also named by the project as an MCP-capable client.

Tools and capabilities

The repository’s server catalog assigns these tool counts and functions:

• GST: 5 tools for GSTIN checks, HSN codes, and tax calculations.
• Railways: 7 tools for live train status, PNR enquiries, and schedules.
• RTO: 6 tools for registration details and road-tax calculations.
• Banking: 3 tools for IFSC search, UPI validation, and bank status.
• Stocks: 8 tools for NSE/BSE quotes, indices, and historical data.
• eCourts: 6 tools for cases, orders, and cause lists.

This makes the india-mcp MCP server suitable for agents that need to combine several India-specific lookup tasks while keeping each service as a separate MCP process.

Limitations and notes

The project documentation describes the upstream Indian portals and APIs as variable in availability, response speed, protection requirements, and data format. Retry logic, caching, and fallback behavior are intended to address some of those conditions, but they do not guarantee that an upstream service will respond or that its data will always be current.

The README lists FSSAI, CDSCO, and land-record access as roadmap items, while an example command also shows fssai. The documented server table currently provides the clearest supported inventory and does not include those roadmap services. Verify the package’s current command list before depending on them in production.
