Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a database query by concatenation .design-preview/recap-final.html:454
      <p>Drop Inter / Instrument Serif → adopt Geist + Geist Mono. Animations smooth (terminal typewriter, count-up rAF, reveal stagger). 10 nouveaux composants Astro. Trust strip + 3 personas + bundle premium + quote BAZG.</p>
  execSync(`unzip -o -q "${zipPath}" -d "${dest}"`, { stdio: "ignore" });
    span.innerHTML = line.text.replace(/^✓/, '<span class="ok">✓</span>')

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 6 min ago.

run in your terminal

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OPENSWISSDATA_API_KEY (Optional Bearer token for higher quotas / Pro tools. Anonymous tier works without it (~100 req/day/IP).), OPENSWISSDATA_BASE_URL (Override the remote MCP endpoint (default: https://mcp.openswissdata.com). Useful for staging or self-hosting.), OPENSWISSDATA_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

tariff
tariff_changelog
Returns the historical changelog of MFN duty rates (and adjacent fields) for a Swiss customs tariff (HS8) code, across every dated release we have archived (history deepens over time from launch). Irreplicable by scraping — xtares.admin.ch only serves the current version. Requires `hs8`; optional `since` (ISO date) to bound the window.
tariff_lookup
Lookup a Swiss customs tariff (HS8) and return the full TARES row including MFN duty, preferential regimes, restrictions and customs relief codes. Always returns a non-official disclaimer that the agent must surface to the end user.
tariff_semantic_search
Semantic search across Swiss customs tariff (TARES) descriptions in French. Uses pre-computed Xenova/paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2 embeddings (768d, FR) shipped with the TARES Pro bundle. Returns top-K HS8 codes by cosine similarity. Always inlines a non-official disclaimer.
classify
classify_text
Classify a free-text business description into top-K NOGA 2025 codes with confidence scores. Uses pre-computed Xenova/paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2 embeddings (768d, FR). NACE 2.1 mode falls back to NOGA 2025 in v1 — combine with cross_walk for translation.
cross
cross_walk
Translate an industry classification code between schemes (NOGA 2008/2025, NACE 2.0/2.1, ISIC 4). Returns all mappings with their type (exact, partial, aggregated, derived) and notes.
entity
entity_history
Returns the timeline of changes for a FINMA-supervised entity (registration, authorisation type changes, status mutations, address moves, warning-list flag transitions). Keyed by Swiss UID (CHE-xxx.xxx.xxx). Irreplicable by scraping — finma.ch only publishes the current state.
finma
finma_search
Fuzzy search the FINMA registry by name (tolerates typos and legal-suffix variants like 'UBS Switzerland AG' vs 'UBS AG'). Returns top-K matches with confidence score, including LEI/UID where available. Set include_warnings=true to also surface entries from the FINMA warnings list.
kyc
kyc_check
Search the FINMA registry of supervised entities and the FINMA warnings list by name. Returns up to top_k authorised entities + any matching warning entries. Use this for basic counterparty KYC screening.
statent
statent_lookup
Swiss enterprise statistics (STATENT, BFS) for a NOGA 2-digit division and optional canton. Returns count of establishments, jobs, and full-time equivalents (FTE). 2023 data. Always inlines a BFS attribution disclaimer.

Openswissdata — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Openswissdata do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: classify_text, cross_walk, entity_history, finma_search, kyc_check, statent_lookup and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Openswissdata working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 226 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Openswissdata?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Openswissdata need an API key?
No. Openswissdata completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Openswissdata?
It answers our handshake in 226 ms on average, which is faster than 62% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Openswissdata?
The npm package @openswissdata/mcp was installed 27 times in the last week. Week over week that is +11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Openswissdata open source?
We cannot say either way: written in HTML, 0 stars on GitHub and 110 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
