AU-BizIntel MCP Server

Australian Business Intelligence for AI Agents

Built by LJ Digital — connecting AI agents to real Australian business data.

What It Does

Gives any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Kilo Code, etc.) instant access to the Australian Business Register (ABR) — plus AI-powered business intelligence. Search 8M+ registered Australian entities by name or ABN, get full profiles, check GST status, and get an AI-generated opportunity assessment for any business.

Try the web version: bizintel.ljdigital.com.au

Tools

Tool	Description
abn_lookup	Look up any ABN → entity name, type, GST status, location
acn_lookup	Look up a company by ACN (Australian Company Number)
search_business	Search entities by name (with optional state filter)
check_gst_status	Check if an ABN is currently GST registered
get_entity_details	Full entity profile as structured JSON
research_prospect	AI-powered — full intelligence profile + opportunity assessment (High/Medium/Low score, signals, and specific AI proposition for that business type)
