Ato MCP

The Australian tax knowledge base for AI agents. Connect your AI agent to 34,500+ ATO documents (guidance, legislation, and public rulings) and get cited answers to the tax questions you'd otherwise pay your accountant to answer. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that want a hosted AI & ML endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in JavaScript.
