  1. Counterparty check (public data, snapshot 24 Sep 2026)User: Can I send an invoice to Bolt Operations OÜ? Check tax debt, annual reports and status.arikratt.search_companies({ q: "Bolt Operations" })arikratt.get_company({ registry_code: "14532901" })Assistant: No public obstacles Bolt Operations OÜ (14532901) is entered in the register, is not on the Tax and Customs Board tax-debt list, and the 2025 annual report has been filed. 2024 revenue was 1 122 869 000 € and net profit 124 958 000 €; in 2026 Q2 there were 878 employees and 5 874 457 € of state taxes were paid. Sources: Business Register · 24 Sep 2026; Tax and Customs Board · 24 Sep 2026; snapshot 20260924T191035Z
  2. Sector comparison (sample data)User: Compare us (Näidis Tarkvara OÜ) with three competitors on 2024 figures.arikratt.search_companies({ q: "Näidis Tarkvara" })arikratt.get_company({ registry_code: "12345678", include: ["similar"] })arikratt.compare_companies({ ids: ["12345678","12222333","13333444","14444555"], year: 2024 })Assistant: Here is the 2024 comparison. The median is for the same activity in Tartu (n = 212). You lead on margin and sit at the 87th percentile of revenue. Tarkvaratehas OÜ is on the tax-debt list. Sources: Business Register · 24 Sep 2026; Tax and Customs Board · 24 Sep 2026; sector 62011 · Tartu · n = 212
  3. Finding grants (sample data)User: Which grants can we apply for now? We are a Tartu software company with 14 employees.arikratt.get_company({ registry_code: "12345678", fields: ["profile"] })arikratt.open_calls({ emtak: "62011", county: "tartu", size: "10-49", status: "open" })Assistant: Three open calls match the profile: Industrial digital shift — EIS, deadline in 9 days, up to 300 000 €, own contribution 50%. Development voucher — EIS, deadline in 27 days, up to 35 000 €; fits early product work. Resource efficiency — KIK, deadline in 41 days; fits if the investment is in equipment. Sources: EIS · PRIA · KIK public pages · 24 Sep 2026; matching is rule-based (activity, county, size)
  4. Multi-step task (sample data)User: List Tartu IT companies that are growing and have no tax debt, and make a table.Plan: Find Tartu IT companies (EMTAK 62) · Check tax debt and reports · Filter growth above 10% · Build the table and a CSVarikratt.search_companies({ emtak_prefix: "62", county: "tartu", min_employees: 5, sort: "revenue" })arikratt.risk_signals({ ids: [148 registry codes] })arikratt.compare_companies({ ids: [129 codes], metrics: ["revenue","growth","employees"] })Assistant: Done. Of 148 Tartu IT companies, 37 remained after the tax-debt, report and growth filters. The first six by revenue: Sources: Business Register · 24 Sep 2026; Tax and Customs Board · 24 Sep 2026; snapshot 20260924T191035Z
  5. The same question, two ways (sample data)User: Does Mäe Ehitus OÜ have tax debt?
    Web-search answer: I found a 2023 news item about Mäe Ehitusgrupp OÜ. I did not find current tax-debt information, but the company seems to be operating. [Sample: wrong company, no as-of date]
    MCP answer: Mäe Ehitus OÜ (10987654, Rapla) is on the tax-debt list: debt 3 214 €, all of it on a payment schedule. The similarly named Mäe Ehitusgrupp OÜ (11876543) is a different company. Sources: Tax and Customs Board · 24 Sep 2026; Business Register · 24 Sep 2026

Why MCP rather than plain web search?

Every claim has a source. No percentage is an Estonian registry error rate.

Question

Ordinary AI chat with web search

Ärikratt MCP

How accurate are the numbers?revenue, profit, employees, taxes

Web search: On news-citation queries, generative search tools were wrong more than 60% of the time (Tow Center, 2025). That measured attribution of an article, not a balance-sheet cell.

Ärikratt MCP: In the DataGemma test (101 questions), statistical accuracy without a lookup was 5–17%. A number cited from the structured store was about 99% accurate, but the model then drew a wrong inference 6–20% of the time. Ärikratt returns the field from the official file; read the sentence around it.

Is this the right company?similar names, groups

Web search: A name search collides similar private limited companies. Estonia had 139,774 economically active private limited companies in 2025; the small ones are not in the news.

Ärikratt MCP: The match is the 8-digit registry code. An obliged entity identifies a legal person by registry code, not by a similar name (RahaPTS).

Where does the number come from, and as of when?

Web search: The same question can produce a different answer next time (Tow Center). A link to a web page can change or disappear.

Ärikratt MCP: Each field names the source file and the as-of date: register daily, annual indicators monthly, EMTA taxes quarterly, tax debt as a daily file. The same code and the same as-of date return the same record.

Is the data even on the web?EMTA quarters, tax debt, state aid, licences

Web search: Automated scripts are prohibited on the e-Business Register web service. Teatmik disallows crawling the whole site. EMTA quarterly turnover and tax debt are CSV files, not a company web page.

Ärikratt MCP: Open data is the permitted machine-readable path. EMTA quarterly turnover is not annual-report revenue: it includes reverse-charge purchases. The tax-debt threshold is €100; scheduled and contested amounts are separate columns.

How many companies at once?a client list, a sector, a county

Web search: 100 company pages at the register crawl-delay of 10 seconds is at least 17 minutes of waiting, and the terms forbid that script. On one admin task a browser agent used about 45× more input tokens than a structured API (Reflex; small sample, not an Estonian register).

Ärikratt MCP: One filter over files that already exist, for example debt × activity × county. Browsing 139,774 companies one page at a time is not a query.

Can I later check what the assistant saw?

Web search: A paragraph of prose cannot be checked against the same file tomorrow. A search answer does not name the field or the as-of date.

Ärikratt MCP: What you can check is the registry code, the field name, the source file and the as-of date. The snapshot id is a product marker so the same call can be repeated.

Honest note: web search is still the right tool for news, the company website, product and hiring pages, and anything that happened after the last official refresh. The register updates daily, annual-report indicators monthly, and EMTA taxes quarterly with a publication lag. The assistant can use both — MCP for a register field, web search for context.

  1. Tow Center / CJR, 6 March 2025 — News attribution, 1,600 queries. Not a measurement of Estonian registries.
  2. Google Research, DataGemma — 101 statistical questions. The cited cell and the sentence around it are different things.
  3. RIK — Automated use of the web service is prohibited; open data is the exception.
  4. EMTA — Quarterly turnover (including reverse charge) is a CSV. Tax debt is a daily file, €100 floor, scheduled and contested amounts split.
  5. Statistics Estonia, 2025 — 139,774 economically active private limited companies in 2025.
  6. RahaPTS — A legal person is identified by registry code.
  7. Reflex, 27 April 2026 — Browser agent versus API on the same admin task. Small sample, not an Estonian register.
  8. Song et al., arXiv:2410.16464 — A hybrid of API and browsing beat either tool alone.
  9. robots.txt, 25 Sep 2026 — ariregister.rik.ee, teatmik.ee (Disallow: /), e-krediidiinfo.ee disallows search and company paths.

  1. Sign in and create a keySign in and create one key. The free quota is 2,000 calls a month and 200 a day. The key is personal.
  2. Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, Cowork)Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://arikratt.ee/mcp. Sign in with your Ärikratt account and give consent. Do not paste a key there; the same connection is for Cowork too.
  3. Cursor, Claude Code, scriptsAdd the server with an Authorization: Bearer header and the key (example beside this). Never put the key in the URL. This is the path that works today.
  4. Ask the first question“Does registry code 12345678 have tax debt or a missing annual report?” — the assistant calls the tool itself. The answer carries the registry code, period and source.

The answer is a model’s reading of a dated register snapshot — not an official register extract, legal advice or a credit decision. Before an important decision, check the register.

FAQ

Which sources do the data come from?

Business Register open data and annual reports, EMTA quarterly figures and the tax-debt list, the state-aid register (RAR/RTK), the economic-activity register (MTR), official notices, public EIS/PRIA/KIK calls, and the public procurement register. Every answer names the source.

How fresh is the data?

The same snapshot as the website: most sources update once a day, EMTA quarterly figures once a quarter, annual reports after they are filed. The answer carries the snapshot id and the as-of date.

Do you share data about natural persons?

get_company returns the name, role and start date of current board members of one commercial company; those names are not indexed. Personal codes, birth dates, addresses and contacts are not shared. There is no person search. `shared_board` shows companies that share a board member, and how many, but never the person. Natural-person shareholders, beneficial owners and sole traders are not shown. Identifying people is prohibited by the terms.

Is this an official extract or a decision about granting credit?

Neither. Ärikratt returns figures and public signals with a source. The answer is a model’s reading of a dated snapshot, not an official register extract, legal advice or a credit decision. Check important decisions at the source.

What is logged?

For limits and support, usage records per key or shared MCP subscription store the timestamp, tool name, success, row count, duration and overage flag. Registry codes from requests or replies are stored separately (up to 500 distinct codes per day). These records do not store free-text arguments, snapshot IDs or chat content.

Which clients work?

An MCP client that sends an Authorization: Bearer header — Cursor, Claude Code and scripts. The Claude custom connector (claude.ai, Desktop, Cowork) signs in with an Ärikratt account and confirms consent. The names are trademarks of their owners.

EU AI Act, art 50

Article 50 requires saying that the text was produced by an AI system and marking generated content. That does not make a company-register lookup a high-risk system. Ärikratt returns the source, period and snapshot id so the assistant can label the answer and you can check the number at the source.
