Camt053 MCP

A [Model Context Protocol][mcp] server that exposes the [camt053][core] ISO 20022 Bank Statement library as tools for AI agents and assistants - discover message types and return reasons, inspect input schemas, validate records and financial identifiers, parse incoming statements, and generate validated reversing-entry XML, all from your favourite MCP client. Its 24 documented tools cover statement, rulebook, cbpr, journal.

People who work with statement, rulebook and cbpr and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Camt053 MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set CAMT053_MCP_TOKEN before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add sebastienrousseau-camt053-mcp -- uvx camt053-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sebastienrousseau-camt053-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "camt053-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package camt053-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.sebastienrousseau is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Camt053 MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can list the 3 supported camt.05x message types, list the ISO external return reason codes, validate flat records against a message type, and validate an IBAN, BIC, or LEI.
