validate_vat
Pack: vat · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/vat/mcp
Validate the FORMAT of a VAT registration number for the EU (+ UK/CH/NO), keyless & offline. Accepts the number with its country prefix (“DE123456789”) or a national number plus country. Returns whether it matches the official country pattern. NOTE: format only — it does NOT confirm the VAT number is registered/active (use the EU VIES service for that).
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
vat | string | yes | A VAT number, e.g. “DE123456789” or “GB123456789”. |
country | string | no | Optional 2-letter country code (EL for Greece, GB for UK) if vat has no prefix. |
