Query the German Commercial Register with AI Agents
The Handelsregister is the official record of every German company — legal name, address, registration court, managing directors, Prokuristen, and shareholders. Through the handelsregister.ai REST API, AnythingMCP exposes this data to your AI agent so you can run KYC checks, supplier due-diligence, or sales-prospect enrichment with a single prompt.
Quick Setup with Built-in Adapter
AnythingMCP includes a pre-configured Handelsregister adapter. You only need an API key.
Step 1: Deploy AnythingMCP
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 2: Get Your API Key
Sign up at handelsregister.ai and generate a personal API key.
Step 3: Import the Adapter
In the AnythingMCP dashboard at http://localhost:3000/connectors/store, click Import on Handelsregister. Paste your API key into the HANDELSREGISTER_API_KEY field — the form opens automatically when the adapter requires credentials.
Step 4: Connect to Your AI Agent
{
"mcpServers": {
"handelsregister": {
"url": "http://localhost:4000/mcp"
