It gives agents current, sourced data from official registers such as Sirene, the RNE and the BODACC. inference.eu agents connect to it with your Pappers API key.

With separate user licences, agents also reach Pappers Justice case law and Pappers Politique parliamentary data. ## What Pappers and its MCP server are Pappers is a Paris-based company that aggregates more than 100 official French sources into one database: Sirene from INSEE, the national business register (RNE) from INPI, BODACC legal notices, filed annual accounts, DVF property sales, Judilibre court decisions and parliamentary activity. Its official MCP server at `https://mcp.pappers.fr` exposes 35 tools over Streamable HTTP, plus a strategy tool that guides the agent through financial and legal analyses. Company and real estate tools draw on the credit balance of your Pappers API key; Justice and Politique need individual licences. ## What agents can do with Pappers A sales team can ask for industrial SMEs in Brittany with revenue above €5 million and get a list with SIREN, directors and headcount, ready to import into a CRM. A credit analyst can have the agent compare three years of a supplier's accounts and flag falling margins or new collective proceedings in the BODACC. Compliance teams use it for know-your-customer checks: beneficial owners, group structure and screening of directors against PEP and sanctions lists. M&A teams can screen a sector for companies with a given growth rate and operating result. ## Setup and authentication Create a Pappers account with API access and copy your API key from your customer area. On inference.eu, add the Pappers connector to an agent and paste the key; it is stored encrypted in the EU and never shown again in full. The connector then uses the server URL `https://mcp.pappers.fr` with token authentication. Pappers also supports OAuth sign-in for some clients. Keep an eye on credit consumption, because detailed profiles and large searches use more credits than a simple SIREN lookup. ## Data protection and where the data goes The data comes from public registers, but it still includes personal data such as directors' names, dates of birth and beneficial owners. The agent's requests go to Pappers, a French company, as they would through the Pappers API or website. On inference.eu, the model that reads the results runs in EU data centres, and your API key is stored encrypted in the EU. Use the data for purposes the registers allow, such as due diligence or B2B prospecting, and document that use in your processing register. ## Approvals and safe use All Pappers tools read data; the main risks are cost and use of personal data. Large multi-criteria searches and enriched profiles consume credits quickly, and a loop in an agent can drain a balance. On inference.eu you can require a person to approve expensive calls, such as searches returning many results or profiles with paid options, and let SIREN lookups run freely. When results feed outreach in other connectors, require approval before anything is sent, so a person checks the list first. ## Pappers Vendor Pappers SAS Vendor based in France Category Company data Authentication API key Transport Remote (HTTP) Server [Official server](https://www.pappers.fr/mcp) Documentation [www.pappers.fr](https://www.pappers.fr/mcp-documentation) ## Pappers: common questions The questions buyers, developers and legal teams ask us most. Something missing? Ask us directly. Yes. Pappers runs its own MCP server at https://mcp.pappers.fr, with 35 tools covering company data, real estate, case law and political data. It uses Streamable HTTP only; stdio and SSE are not supported. It is Pappers' connector for AI assistants and agents. Through the Model Context Protocol, an agent can search French companies, read profiles, accounts, directors and beneficial owners, and query BODACC notices, property sales and, with licences, case law and parliamentary data. Yes, for Pappers Entreprises and Pappers Immobilier. Each tool call draws credits from the balance of your API key, and richer requests use more. Pappers Justice and Pappers Politique work with individual user licences instead of credits. Create a Pappers account with API access, copy the API key and paste it into the Pappers connector on inference.eu. The key is stored encrypted in the EU, and only the agents you allow can use it. More than 100 official sources, including Sirene from INSEE, the RNE from INPI, BODACC legal notices, filed annual accounts, DVF property sales, Judilibre decisions and parliamentary data, plus beneficial owners and PEP and sanctions lists.

An inference.eu agent can, for example, combine company profiles from Pappers with open statistics from data.gouv.fr in one analysis. Yes, through a separate Pappers Belgium MCP endpoint with BCE identification, annual accounts from the National Bank of Belgium, directors and Moniteur belge publications. It authenticates with OAuth and can be added as its own connector. Requests go to Pappers, a French company, which serves data from public registers. The results reach the agent, whose model runs in EU data centres on inference.eu. Personal data from the registers remains subject to the rules on reuse of public information.
