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

accounting

accounting_aged_creditors

Aged creditors (what the business owes suppliers, by age) as at a date, reconciled to Accounts Payable. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_aged_debtors

Aged debtors (who owes the business, by age: not yet due, 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 120+ days past due) as at a date, reconciled to Accounts Receivable. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_balance_sheet

Balance sheet as at a date: assets, liabilities and equity per account, including profit to date not yet closed off. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_chart_of_accounts

The business's chart of accounts (code, name, type). Use the codes when filing a bank line to an account. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_create_invoice_draft

Create a DRAFT customer invoice (never sent, not in the ledger until the business sends it from GetAccountED). VAT at 15% if the business is a VAT vendor. TWO STEPS: first call returns the totals + confirm_token; second call with confirm_token saves the draft. Changes the user's real books — only after they have seen the preview and agreed. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_debtor_reminder

Drafts a polite payment-reminder email (text only — nothing is sent) for each customer with overdue invoices, listing the invoices and amounts. Edit it, then the business sends it — or use accounting_send_invoice_reminder to send GetAccountED's standard branded reminder for one invoice. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_emp201_detail

EMP201 for a month from finalised pay runs: PAYE, UIF, SDL, ETI and total due to SARS (due the 7th of the next month), with per-employee lines. ID and tax numbers are masked. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_file_bank_line

File one unfiled bank line. Give ONE of: account_code (e.g. bank charges, income, a loan), invoice allocations / customer_id (customer receipt — remainder goes on account), bill allocations / supplier_id or supplier_name (supplier payment), or on_account:true with a customer or supplier. TWO STEPS: the first call changes nothing and returns a preview of the journal it will post plus a confirm_token; call again with exactly the same arguments plus confirm_token (valid 10 minutes, single use) to post it. Always show the user the preview and get their OK first. Changes the user's real books — only after they have seen the preview and agreed. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_general_ledger

General ledger for one account over a date range: opening balance, every posting with reference and description, running and closing balance. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_list_expenses

Expenses and supplier bills recorded in a period, with account, VAT, payment status and whether a slip is attached. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_list_invoices

Customer invoices. status: open (unpaid or part-paid), overdue, paid, or all. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_list_my_businesses

Lists the GetAccountED books this sign-in can work on, with their business_id. Use it first when the user is an accounting practice and asks about a particular client, then pass that business_id to the other accounting_ tools. For a single business it simply confirms which books are connected. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_overview

Snapshot of the business's books for a period: income, expenses and profit (from the ledger), bank balances, money owed by customers and to suppliers, VAT position, bank lines still to reconcile and slips still missing. Defaults to this month so far. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_profit_and_loss

Profit and loss for a period, per account (income and expense accounts, from the general ledger). Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_reconciliation_status

Bank reconciliation status per uploaded statement, plus the bank payments that still need a slip or invoice. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_refile_bank_line

Re-file a bank line that was already filed wrongly: reverses everything it posted (one reversal journal on the line's date, payments taken back off invoices/bills) and files it again to the new target. Same target arguments as accounting_file_bank_line. TWO STEPS: first call = preview of the reversal and new journal + confirm_token; second call with confirm_token does it. Changes the user's real books — only after they have seen the preview and agreed. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_send_invoice_reminder

Email GetAccountED's standard branded payment reminder (with pay-online link and the invoice PDF) for one unpaid invoice to the customer's email on file. TWO STEPS: first call shows who it goes to + confirm_token; the email is only sent on the second call with confirm_token. Changes the user's real books — only after they have seen the preview and agreed. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_submit_document

Hand in a receipt, till slip, fuel slip or supplier invoice (PDF or photo, base64, max 10 MB). It is read immediately and filed under Slips & Documents for the business to check and post — nothing is posted to the ledger by this tool. Returns what was read. Use when the user gives you a slip or invoice file to hand in. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_trial_balance

Trial balance as at a date: every account's debit or credit balance and whether the ledger balances. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_unfiled_bank_lines

Bank statement lines still waiting to be filed, each with its line_id, the suggestion GetAccountED made (account, invoice or rule) and candidate open items: unpaid customer invoices (money in) or unpaid supplier bills (money out) matching by amount or name. Amounts in rand. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

accounting_vat201_draft

DRAFT VAT201 for a VAT period, field by field as on SARS eFiling (output tax, input tax, payable/refundable). A preparation draft — check it before filing on eFiling; nothing is submitted to SARS. Read-only. Needs the user's GetAccountED sign-in (they are asked to sign in the first time).

tax

sa_tax_calendar

SARS (and CIPC) due dates in a date range: EMP201 (7th, earlier when that is a weekend or public holiday), VAT201 by VAT category A–E (eFiling: last business day of the month after the period), provisional tax IRP6, EMP501 reconciliation windows, ITR14 and CIPC annual returns. Uses South African public holidays.

sa_tax_rates

Individual income tax brackets, rebates, tax thresholds, medical scheme fees tax credits, retirement deduction cap, UIF rate and ceiling, SDL rate and exemption threshold, and the VAT rate — for a tax year (current and prior years), from the tables GetAccountED payroll uses.

vat

sa_vat_calculate

Split a VAT-inclusive amount into VAT and the exclusive price, or add VAT to an exclusive amount, at the South African VAT rate in force on the date (15% since 1 April 2018). One amount or a list of lines, with per-line and total figures.

sa_vat_classify

Is a supply standard-rated, zero-rated or exempt under the South African VAT Act, and can the buyer claim the input VAT (s17(2): entertainment, club subscriptions, motor cars…)? Answers from a curated rules table with the VAT Act section for each rule, plus related official material from the GetLawED library. Says plainly when no rule matches.

paye

sa_paye_calculate

Employees' tax (PAYE), UIF (employee and employer, with the monthly ceiling), SDL and net pay for one South African employee and pay period, using the SARS tax deduction tables (or the exact statutory-rates formula) for the right tax year. Handles age rebates, the medical scheme fees tax credit, retirement-fund deductions (s11F cap), travel allowance (80%/20%), bonuses (annual-payment method), commission and fringe benefits.

validate

sa_validate_reference

Format and check-digit checks for South African numbers: ID number (Luhn check digit, date of birth, gender, citizenship), income tax reference, VAT number (10 digits starting with 4), PAYE/SDL/UIF employer references and CIPC company registration numbers. Offline checks only — they do not confirm the number is registered.

GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools do?

It exposes 27 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: accounting_aged_creditors, accounting_aged_debtors, accounting_balance_sheet, accounting_chart_of_accounts, accounting_create_invoice_draft, accounting_debtor_reminder and 21 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 →

What is GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around accounting, tax and vat. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools 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 759 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools need an API key?

No. GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 27 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is GetAccountED — South African Tax Tools?

It answers our handshake in 759 ms on average, which is faster than 11% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
