Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Camt053 MCP Tools (24)
list_message_types
List every supported ISO 20022 camt.05x message type and its name.
Use this first, before any validation or generation call, to discover the
exact ``message_type`` strings this server accepts. For the return-reason
codes rather than message types, call ``list_return_reasons`` instead.
Returns a list of ``{"message_type": ..., "name": ...}`` dictionaries, one
per supported message type (e.g. ``camt.053.001.14``).
list_return_reasons
List every known ISO external return reason code with its name.
Use this to discover the ``reason_code`` values that ``filter_entries`` and
``generate_reversal`` accept (e.g. ``AC04`` Closed Account). For the
supported message types rather than reason codes, use ``list_message_types``.
Returns a list of ``{"code": ..., "name": ...}`` dictionaries (e.g.
``{"code": "AC04", "name": "Closed Account Number"}``).
get_required_fields
List only the required input field names for a camt message type.
Use this for a quick checklist of the mandatory columns before building
reversing-entry records. When you need full type/format constraints (not
just which fields are required), call ``get_input_schema`` instead.
Args:
message_type: A supported ISO 20022 camt.05x message type.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Camt053 MCP is categorized under Finance & Fintech and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Intelica MCP belongs to Finance & Fintech using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Camt053 MCP when you need capabilities focused on finance & fintech and Intelica MCP when you require tools for finance & fintech.
Competitive intelligence API for autonomous AI agents. Analyzes any URL or company description and returns structured JSON with market positioning, competitors, pain points, and executable Market Score (threatlevel, moatstrength, agentrecommendation). 10 context modes including regulatorycompliance, venturescreening, cryptoprotocol, and salesenablement. Pay-per-call via x402 on Base and Solana mainnet — no accounts, no API keys.
Return the full JSON Schema for a message type's flat input record.
Use this to learn every field, its type, and its constraints before
assembling records, or to drive a form/UI. For just the required-field
names use ``get_required_fields``; to actually check records against this
schema use ``validate_records``.
Args:
message_type: A supported ISO 20022 camt.05x message type.
validate_records
Validate flat records against a message type's input JSON Schema.
Use this on in-memory reversing-entry records to catch structural/type
errors per row before generation. To validate a whole camt.05x *document*
(XML) against its XSD instead, use ``validate_statement``.
Returns a report ``{"valid": bool, "total": int, "valid_count": int,
"errors": [...]}``.
Args:
message_type: A supported ISO 20022 camt.05x message type.
records: One or more flat reversing-entry records to validate.
validate_identifier
Validate a single financial identifier (IBAN, BIC, or LEI).
Use this for a one-off identifier check with a clear pass/fail. To validate
identifiers embedded across a whole batch of records, prefer
``validate_records`` rather than calling this per field.
Returns ``{"kind": str, "value": str, "valid": bool}``.
Args:
kind: One of ``"iban"``, ``"bic"``, or ``"lei"`` (case-insensitive).
value: The identifier value to check.
parse_statement
Parse an incoming camt.05x statement XML string into structured data.
Use this to turn a raw statement into a navigable dict (header, statements,
accounts, balances, entries). To pull just the flat entry list use
``list_entries``; to only check the document is schema-valid use
``validate_statement``.
Returns the parsed document as a JSON-serialisable dict (group header plus
statements, each with its account, balances, and entries), or an
``{"error": ...}`` payload if the XML cannot be parsed.
Args:
xml: The raw statement XML as a string.
convert_mt940_to_camt053
Convert a legacy SWIFT MT940 statement into a camt.053 structure.
Use this as the Phase-1 migration wedge: SWIFT MT940 customer statements
retire in **November 2028**, so this tool bridges the gap by turning raw
MT940 text into the same JSON-serialisable camt.053 document shape that
``parse_statement`` returns (group header plus statements, each with its
account, balances, and entries). Downstream tools (``list_entries``,
``filter_entries``, ``classify_entry``, ``export_journal``) then work on the
result unchanged.
Wraps the ``camt053-loader-mt940`` library's ``parse_mt940``; the MT parsing
itself is delegated (no MT grammar is reimplemented here). The resulting
``ParsedDocument`` is serialised with the same ``to_dict()`` the server's
other parse tools use, so agents get a consistent structure. Nothing is read
from or written to disk.
Returns the converted document as a JSON-serialisable dict, or an
``{"error": ...}`` payload if the MT940 text cannot be parsed (e.g. a
missing ``:20:`` reference or a malformed balance / statement line).
Args:
mt940_text: The raw MT940 statement text as a string.
convert_mt942
Convert a legacy SWIFT MT942 interim report into a camt.052 structure.
Use this as the Phase-1 migration wedge for intraday reporting: SWIFT MT94x
messages retire in **November 2028**, so this tool bridges the gap by
turning raw MT942 *Interim Transaction Report* text into the same
JSON-serialisable camt.052 (Bank-to-Customer Account **Report**) document
shape the server's parse tools return (group header plus statements, each
with its account, balances, and entries). MT942 is the intraday sibling of
MT940: where MT940 maps to camt.053 (end-of-day statement), MT942 maps to
camt.052, so the resulting ``message_type`` is ``camt.052.001.08``.
Downstream tools (``list_entries``, ``filter_entries``, ``classify_entry``,
``export_journal``) then work on the result unchanged.
Wraps the ``camt053-loader-mt942`` library's ``parse_mt942``; the MT parsing
itself is delegated (no MT grammar is reimplemented here). The resulting
``ParsedDocument`` is serialised with the same ``to_dict()`` the server's
other parse tools use, so agents get a consistent structure. Nothing is read
from or written to disk.
**Documented model limitation.** The ``camt053`` typed model is
camt.053-statement-oriented: it has no dedicated field for camt.052's
floor-limit (``<Lmt>``) or transaction-summary (``<TxsSummry>``) blocks.
Rather than drop that data, the loader surfaces it on the balance list using
clearly proprietary ``type_code`` values so consumers can recognise and
filter them: ``:34F:`` floor limits become ``FLIMD`` / ``FLIMC`` balances,
and ``:90D:`` / ``:90C:`` entry-count summaries become ``SUMD:<count>`` /
``SUMC:<count>`` balances (the ISO ``NbOfNtries`` count is encoded after the
colon; the sum is the balance ``amount``). See the loader's README.
Returns the converted document as a JSON-serialisable dict, or an
``{"error": ...}`` payload if the MT942 text cannot be parsed (e.g. a
missing ``:20:`` reference or a malformed floor-limit / summary / statement
line).
Args:
mt942_text: The raw MT942 interim transaction report text as a string.
validate_statement
Validate an incoming camt.05x statement XML against its XSD schema.
Use this to confirm a document is well-formed and schema-valid before
processing it. This checks XSD conformance only; for the Nov 2026 CBPR+
business rules use ``check_cbpr_readiness``, and to extract the data use
``parse_statement``.
Detects the document's message type, validates it against the matching
ISO 20022 schema, and returns a report ``{"valid": bool, "message_type":
str, "errors": [...]}``. A well-formed but schema-invalid document yields
``valid=False`` with a populated ``errors`` list (and the detected
``message_type``); a valid one yields ``valid=True`` with no errors.
Returns an ``{"error": ...}`` payload instead if the XML cannot be parsed
(e.g. it is malformed or is not a camt ``Document``).
Args:
xml: The raw statement XML as a string.
check_cbpr_readiness
Check a camt.053 statement against the CBPR+ Nov 2026 acceptance rules.
Use this to audit a statement for the business-rule changes (schema
version, structured postal addresses) enforced from the Nov 2026 cutover.
For plain XSD schema validity use ``validate_statement`` instead; for just
the cutover date use ``get_cbpr_cutover_date``.
A coordinated CBPR+ / Fedwire / CHAPS / T2 cutover lands on
**14-16 November 2026**: unstructured-only postal addresses get rejected,
``camt.110/111`` exceptions and investigations become mandatory, and T2S
R2026.NOV upgrades camt.053 / 054 to schema revision MR2026.
This tool walks the supplied payload and reports every issue that will
fail the Nov 2026 acceptance rules:
* **Schema version** vs the CBPR+ current set (``camt.053.001.08`` /
``camt.053.001.13``); ``.02``-``.07`` are flagged as deprecated
warnings; unknown / non-camt.053 namespaces as errors.
* **Postal addresses**: every ``<PstlAdr>`` is classified as fully
structured, hybrid, or **unstructured-only** (``<AdrLine>`` without
``<TwnNm>`` + ``<Ctry>`` siblings, the Nov 2026 reject case).
Returns a dictionary ``{"cbpr_ready": bool, "schema_version": str | None,
"checked_at": ISO-8601 UTC, "cutover_date": "2026-11-16",
"issues": [...], "summary": {...}}``. ``cbpr_ready`` is ``True`` iff no
``severity="error"`` issue was raised. An ``{"error": ...}`` envelope
is returned instead if the XML is malformed or refused by the
hardened pre-flight (DOCTYPE / ENTITY / oversized payload).
Args:
xml: The raw camt.05x statement XML as a string.
get_cbpr_cutover_date
Return the official CBPR+ / Nov 2026 cutover date as ISO 8601.
Use this to quote the enforcement date directly, without parsing a
document. To actually audit a statement against the rules that take effect
on that date, call ``check_cbpr_readiness`` instead.
The cutover (``2026-11-16``) is the date after which the rules checked
by ``check_cbpr_readiness`` are enforced by the major clearing systems;
payments that fail will be rejected at receive-time. Surfaced as a
discrete tool so agents can quote it directly without having to call
a readiness check first.
