Skill by ara.so — MCP Skills collection.

MCP servers providing standardized access to Korea's public data portal (data.go.kr) APIs. This project wraps various Korean government APIs as Model Context Protocol servers, enabling AI tools like Claude Desktop and Cline to directly query business registrations, procurement data, financial information, and more.

Available MCP Servers

The project provides six specialized MCP servers:

  1. NPS Business Enrollment - National Pension Service workplace enrollment data
  2. NTS Business Verification - National Tax Service business registration verification
  3. PPS Narajangteo - Public procurement bidding and contract information
  4. FSC Financial Info - Financial Services Commission corporate financial data
  5. Presidential Speeches - Presidential archives speech database
  6. MSDS Chemical Info - Material Safety Data Sheets chemical information

Common Usage Patterns

Validating Korean Business Registration

# When user asks to verify a Korean business
# The MCP server handles this via natural language:
# "Verify business 123-45-67890 that opened on January 1, 2020 
#  with representative Kim Cheolsu and company name ABC Corp"

# The server will call validate_business with:
# {
#   "business_number": "1234567890",
#   "start_date": "20200101",
#   "representative_name": "김철수",
#   "business_name": "ABC주식회사"
# }

Checking Business Status

# When user asks to check business status:
# "What is the current status of business numbers 
#  123-45-67890 and 098-76-54321?"

# The server will call check_business_status with:
# {
#   "business_numbers": "1234567890,0987654321"
# }

# Returns status codes:
# 01 = Active business
# 02 = Suspended business
# 03 = Closed business

Searching NPS Enrollment Data

# When user asks to find businesses by location:
# "Find all businesses enrolled in NPS in Seoul Gangnam-gu"

# The server will call search_business with:
# {
#   "ldong_addr_mgpl_dg_cd": "11",        # Seoul
#   "ldong_addr_mgpl_sggu_cd": "11680",   # Gangnam-gu
#   "page_no": 1,
#   "num_of_rows": 100
# }

Batch Business Verification

# When user needs to verify multiple businesses:
# "Verify these businesses: 
#  1. 123-45-67890, opened 2020-01-01, rep: Kim
#  2. 098-76-54321, opened 2021-06-15, rep: Lee"

# The server will call batch_validate_businesses with:
# {
#   "businesses_json": '[
#     {"b_no": "1234567890", "start_dt": "20200101", "p_nm": "Kim"},
#     {"b_no": "0987654321", "start_dt": "20210615", "p_nm": "Lee"}
#   ]'
# }

Development Setup

Clone and Install for Development

git clone https://github.com/Koomook/data-go-mcp-servers.git
cd data-go-mcp-servers

# Install UV if not already installed
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Install with dev dependencies
uv sync --dev

Creating a New MCP Server

Use the automated script:

uv run python scripts/create_mcp_server.py

Or manually with Cookiecutter:

uv pip install cookiecutter
uv run cookiecutter template/ -o src/

The template creates:

  • Server module structure
  • API client implementation
  • Pydantic models for type safety
  • Tests
  • Documentation

Running Tests

# Test specific server
uv run pytest src/data_go_mcp/nps_business_enrollment/tests/

# Test all servers
uv run pytest

Building and Publishing

# Build a specific package
cd src/data_go_mcp/nps_business_enrollment
uv build

# Publish to PyPI
uv publish

Troubleshooting

API Key Issues

Problem: API_KEY environment variable not set

Solution: Ensure the API key is properly configured:

export DATA_GO_KR_API_KEY="your-actual-api-key"

For Claude Desktop, verify the environment variable is referenced correctly in claude_desktop_config.json.

Server Not Appearing in Claude

Problem: MCP server doesn't show up in Claude Desktop

Solutions:

  1. Restart Claude Desktop completely (quit and relaunch)
  2. Check the configuration file syntax is valid JSON
  3. Verify the command path is correct (uvx or python)
  4. Check Claude Desktop logs for errors

macOS logs: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/
Windows logs: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\

Connection Errors

Problem: Failed to connect to data.go.kr API

Solutions:

  1. Verify your API key is valid and active at data.go.kr
  2. Check network connectivity
  3. Verify the API endpoint is accessible
  4. Check if you've exceeded rate limits

Invalid Business Numbers

Problem: Business number format errors

Solution: Korean business registration numbers must be:

  • Exactly 10 digits (remove hyphens)
  • Format: XXX-XX-XXXXX becomes XXXXXXXXXX
  • Valid checksum digit

Example: 123-45-67890 → 1234567890

Date Format Issues

Problem: Date format validation errors

Solution: Use YYYYMMDD format:

  • Correct: 20200101
  • Incorrect: 2020-01-01, 01/01/2020

Pagination Limits

Problem: Not getting all results

Solution: The num_of_rows parameter has a maximum of 100. For larger datasets:

  1. Use pagination with page_no
  2. Make multiple requests
  3. Iterate through pages until no more results
# Pseudocode for pagination
page = 1
all_results = []
while True:
    results = search_business(page_no=page, num_of_rows=100)
    if not results:
        break
    all_results.extend(results)
    page += 1

Character Encoding

Problem: Korean characters not displaying correctly

Solution: Ensure UTF-8 encoding:

  • API responses are UTF-8 by default
  • Check your terminal/editor encoding settings
  • For Python files, include: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Best Practices

  1. API Key Security: Never hardcode API keys. Always use environment variables.

  2. Rate Limiting: Respect data.go.kr rate limits. Implement exponential backoff for retries.

  3. Error Handling: Always check response status and handle errors gracefully.

  4. Data Validation: Use Pydantic models to ensure data integrity.

  5. Caching: Consider caching responses for frequently accessed data to reduce API calls.

  6. Batch Operations: Use batch endpoints when validating multiple businesses to minimize API calls.

  7. Testing: Test with real API responses in development, but use mocks in CI/CD.
