Au Bizintel MCP

  • Updated April 17, 2026
  • ljdigital/au-bizintel-mcp

au-bizintel-mcp is an MCP server that performs Australian ABN lookup, ABR business search, and optional AI prospect assessment.

About

Australian Business Intelligence MCP wraps ABR-backed lookups and search so your agent can validate who you are selling to before you prototype or price an offer. developers targeting AU B2B—agencies, vertical SaaS, or local services—get structured entity data from a GUID you obtain free from the government portal, then optionally deepen a lead with research_prospect when you supply an Anthropic API key. The server is deliberately regional: it will not help with US EINs or generic web scraping. Setup is beginner-friendly npm stdio configuration with one required secret (ABR_GUID). Pair it in the idea phase when naming competitors, verifying partners, or building a shortlist of prospects from natural-language criteria the agent can turn into ABR queries and short assessments.

  • ABN lookup and business search via the official Australian Business Register (ABR) API
  • research_prospect tool uses Anthropic when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set
  • npm package @ljdigital/au-bizintel-mcp with stdio transport
  • Free ABR_GUID registration at abr.business.gov.au/Tools/WebServices
  • Version 0.3.0 server focused on AU business intelligence workflows

What it does

Look up Australian businesses by ABN, search the ABR, and run AI-backed prospect research when qualifying B2B ideas or outbound lists.

Who is it for?

What you get

Your agent returns ABR-grounded business records and optional AI prospect notes from MCP tools during ideation and list building.

  • ABR-sourced business and ABN lookup results inside the agent
  • Search-driven shortlists of Australian entities
  • Optional AI-written prospect assessments when Anthropic is configured

By the numbers

  • npm package version 0.3.0
  • ABR_GUID required; Anthropic key required only for research_prospect
