S.C.A.L.A. MCP Server

An MCP server that gives Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and any MCP-compatible AI agent access to the S.C.A.L.A. Score company intelligence database -- 250M+ companies across 50+ countries.

Quick Start

npx -y scala-mcp-server

That's it. One command. Set your API key and go:

• Search companies by name, VAT number, keyword -- across 50+ countries

• Generate reports (financial health, risk assessment, due diligence)
• Explore the database -- stats, country coverage, credit balance

Demo

Here's what a real conversation looks like:

You: Find the top 10 restaurant chains in Italy

Claude: uses search_companies with query="ristorante catena", country="IT", nace="56.10"

I found 10 restaurant chains in Italy. Here are the largest by revenue:

#	Company	Revenue	Employees	Health
1	AUTOGRILL S.P.A.	EUR 3.2B	12,400	82/100
2	CHEF EXPRESS S.P.A.	EUR 890M	4,200	78/100
...

You: Look up Ferrero's financial health

Claude: uses lookup_company with company_id="IT02727330014"

Ferrero International S.A.

• Revenue: EUR 17.0B
• Employees: 41,000+
• Health Score: 94/100
• NACE: 10.82 (Cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery)
• Status: Active since 1946

You: Compare construction companies in Milan vs Munich

Claude: uses search_companies twice with country="IT"/country="DE" and nace="41"

Milan has 3x more construction companies, but Munich firms average 40% higher revenue. Health scores are comparable (avg 68 vs 71).
