> A high-performance, offline-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server equipping AI agents with Indian financial, tax, and government APIs. Zero authentication required.

✨ Key Features

• Offline-First Architecture: Bundles compressed datasets for zero-latency lookups (IFSC, Pincodes, HSN/SAC). No API rate limits.
• Zero Authentication: No API keys, secrets, or subscriptions required. All logic runs locally.
• Background Auto-Updates: Non-blocking CDN fetching ensures your datasets never go stale without impacting request latency.
• Comprehensive Coverage: 58 dedicated tools for identity validation (PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN, TAN, PRAN), tax calculation (Income Tax, TDS, GST), savings calculators (EPF, PPF, SIP), and master data lookups.
• Enterprise-Ready: Thread-pool accelerated bulk validation tools for processing large batches of vendor or customer data.

📡 Data Architecture & Freshness

This package bundles static datasets for offline-first workflows (approx. 10-11MB compressed footprint), covering IFSCs, Pincodes, HSN/SAC masters, and curated UPI handles.

An optional auto-update mechanism fetches the latest versions from the jsDelivr CDN in the background:

• Non-blocking: Stale data triggers a background refresh; the current request immediately uses existing cached data to ensure zero latency.
• Opt out: Set the MCP_INDIA_STACK_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 environment variable to disable all update checks.
• Manual refresh: Run mcp-india-stack --refresh-all to synchronously refresh all datasets from the CDN.
• Cache location: Platform-specific via platformdirs (e.g., ~/.cache/mcp-india-stack on Linux).

---

⚠️ Limitations

• Stateless Validation: GSTIN, Aadhaar, Voter ID, DL, Passport, CIN, and DIN validators check structural formatting and checksums only. They do not verify active registration status with government issuing authorities.
• Algorithmic Constraints: PAN validation is structural; the PAN check character logic is not publicly verifiable.
• Tax Estimates: All tax calculations are algorithmic estimates based on FY2025-26 rules. Actual liability may differ. Always consult a Chartered Accountant.
• Static Rates: HSN/SAC rates are static references and may vary based on specific conditions or new government notifications.

🚀 Launch Notes

This repository is release-ready for GitHub launch with:

• 0.4.2 package metadata and changelog coverage.
• A complete MCP server-card under docs/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.
• Local setup and publishing steps in [SETUP.md](SETUP.md).
• Contribution guidance and versioning policy in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).

Bug fixes in v0.4.2 (Round 2 — Deep Code Audit)

• Capital Gains: Asset-type-specific LTCG thresholds — real estate 24mo, gold/debentures 36mo, crypto always 30% flat.
• EPF/ESIC: Employee EPF correctly capped at ₹15K wage ceiling. Added voluntary_pf_on_actual for VPF.
