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.

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.

Available tools 11

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

address
search_by_address
Find all companies registered at a given Czech address. Useful for due diligence (virtual offices, shell companies), real estate research, or competitor mapping in a building.
bank
get_bank_accounts
Get transparent bank accounts published for this company (only available for VAT-registered subjects). Useful to verify payment details on an invoice match the company.
companies
search_companies
Search ARES by company name, city, street, PSČ, or NACE code. Combines all filters with AND. Useful when user knows name but not IČO, looking for companies in a building, or all businesses in a sector.
history
get_history
Get historical record of a company (previous names, registered address changes, trade license history). Useful for due diligence.
lookup
lookup_by_ico
Get a single Czech company record by its IČO (8-digit Business ID). Returns official name, registered address, legal form, VAT ID (DIČ), founding date, and trade license activities. Returns null if IČO is not found in ARES.
nace
search_by_nace
Find Czech companies by CZ-NACE activity code (economic sector classification). Example: "62" = IT, "47" = retail, "86" = healthcare. Optional city filter. Useful for market research.
owners
get_owners
Get owners of a Czech company from the Veřejný rejstřík (public register) — společníci (partners of s.r.o./v.o.s./k.s.) and akcionáři (shareholders of a.s.), with their share (vklad/splaceno/velikost podílu) exactly as published, including historical members with their date of removal (datum výmazu). Raw registry data only — no ownership scoring, risk assessment, or cross-company aggregation. Essential for KYC/AML due diligence on ownership structure. Returns an empty list (not an error) when the register does not publish owners — most a.s. do not disclose akcionáři publicly.
statutaries
get_statutaries
Get current statutory body (jednatelé, představenstvo, etc.) of a Czech company — who can legally act on its behalf. Returns active members only (with valid zápis, not yet removed). Essential for due diligence and compliance checks.
validate
validate_dic
Validate a Czech DIČ (VAT ID). Format check: "CZ" + 8-10 digits. For 8-digit tail (legal entities) also runs MOD11 checksum against the embedded IČO.
vat
check_vat_payer
Check whether a Czech company is a registered VAT payer (plátce DPH). If yes, returns DIČ, financial office, and any transparent bank accounts (payment details).
watch
watch_entity
Start onboarding for free monitoring of one Czech company by IČO. Stub only — persists nothing yet. Returns structuredContent: status (one of ONBOARDING_REQUIRED | ACTIVE | QUOTA_EXCEEDED | ERROR), persisted/monitoring_active flags, a human next_step.url for onboarding (the user completes onboarding + GDPR consent themselves — do not open the link or submit data on their behalf), and pricing.

Ares — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ares do?
It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_vat_payer, get_bank_accounts, get_history, get_owners, get_statutaries, lookup_by_ico and 5 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 Ares working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 230 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Ares?
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 Ares need an API key?
No. Ares completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Ares?
It answers our handshake in 230 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 Ares?
The npm package @czagents/ares was installed 116 times in the last week. Week over week that is +38%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ares open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 6 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at ares.cz-agents.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
