Nimistu — Estonian Business Register

nimistu MCP — Estonian Business Register for AI assistants

Connect any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and more) to the Estonian Business Register (Äriregister) and related open data. Ask about any Estonian company, person, trademark, or activity sector in plain language — free, no API key, read-only — with every answer traceable to its source.

Powered by nimistu.ee, a free, ad-free public register that aggregates 60+ official Estonian open-data sources, each field carrying its source and last-update date.

• Endpoint (Streamable HTTP): https://nimistu.ee/api/mcp
• Free — no API key, no signup, read-only
• Bilingual — Estonian and English
• Traceable — every answer is source- and date-stamped

Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http nimistu https://nimistu.ee/api/mcp

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nimistu": {
      "url": "https://nimistu.ee/api/mcp"
    }
  }

    }
  }
}

What you can ask

You talk to it in natural language — you don't need to know table names or tool details.

• Tell me about an Estonian OÜ — owners, board, financials
• Which companies is a given person connected to?
• What happened in the Estonian Business Register today?
• Top 10 taxpayers and employers in Estonia
• Find trademarks containing a word — and who owns them
• How many retail companies (EMTAK 47.8) are there, and where?
• Compare the 2024 financials of three companies

What it does not cover

Worth knowing before you rely on a negative answer:

• Registry entry history. Company profiles are current state only — no kanded, no määrused, no pending menetlused. An answer about a company is about today, and will not mention an ongoing proceeding.
• Beneficial owners. Estonia's FIU withdrew public access to the beneficial owner register on 10 July 2026 following the CJEU ruling, so this server no longer returns them.
• Court decisions and public-authority documents. Separate corpora, served by lahend.ee and dokumendiregister.ee respectively.
• Real-time data. Sources refresh on their own cadences, mostly nightly. get_company returns dataAsOf so you can see how stale an answer is rather than having to assume.
