Buste Paga

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that parses Italian INAZ payslip PDFs and stores them in a local SQLite database. Connect it to any MCP-compatible AI client to analyze your salary history, search payslip items, and get detailed breakdowns — all with your data staying on your machine.

Installation

Requirements: Python 3.10+, uv

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/morettimarco/MCP-Buste-Paga.git
cd MCP-Buste-Paga
uv sync

Verify it runs:

uv run mcp-buste-paga

Ingesting payslips

Once the server is connected to an AI client (see below), ask the assistant to ingest your payslip PDFs:

"Ingest my payslips from ~/Documents/Buste"

The ingest_payslips tool will recursively scan the directory for .pdf files, parse each one, and store the data. Duplicates are automatically skipped via SHA-256 hashing.

Database location

All data is stored in a local SQLite database at:

~/.mcp-buste-paga/buste_paga.db

The directory is created automatically on first run. The database contains four tables:

Table	Description
aziende	Company information (name, fiscal code, INPS/INAIL codes)
dipendenti	Employee profile (name, fiscal code, hire date, role, contract)
buste_paga	Monthly payslip summaries (gross, net, taxes, TFR, etc.)
voci_corpo_busta	Individual payslip line items (base pay, overtime, deductions, etc.)

Available tools

Tool	Description
ingest_payslips	Scan a directory for PDF payslips, parse and store them. Returns a summary of ingested/skipped/failed files.
get_employee_summary	Get employee profile and company details, plus the number of payslips stored.
get_salary_history_tool	Get salary history (net pay, gross, deductions) ordered by most recent month. Optionally filter by year.
get_payslip_details_tool	Get the full breakdown of a specific payslip by month and year, including all line items.
search_payslip_items	Search payslip line items by keyword (e.g. "Straordinario", "Ferie", "Ticket") with per-month and grand totals.

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buste-paga": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/full/path/to/MCP-Buste-Paga",
        "run",
        "mcp-buste-paga"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Use absolute paths. Find your uv path with which uv.

Restart Claude Desktop. A hammer icon in the chat input confirms the server is connected.
