Reviewed overview

MCP server overview

what is Kyc?

Kyc is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server project that wraps Setu Digital Gateway KYC APIs to provide verification tools for PAN, GST and name-matching. It’s a packaged MCP server intended to be run as part of a Claude/ModelContext setup or as a standalone MCP process.

how to use Kyc?

  • Install: pip install setu_mcp_kyc
  • Provide Setu DG credentials and product instance IDs via environment variables: SETU_DG_CLIENT_ID, SETU_DG_CLIENT_SECRET, SETU_DG_PAN_PRODUCT_INSTANCE_ID, SETU_DG_GST_PRODUCT_INSTANCE_ID, SETU_DG_NAME_MATCH_PRODUCT_INSTANCE_ID.
  • Development run: configure your Claude/claude_desktop_config.json or run the MCP with the provided “uv” command (see project dev config). Production run uses “uvx”.
  • Debug with MCP Inspector: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /path/to/setu_mcp_kyc run setu_mcp_kyc

key features

  • verify-pan: PAN card verification (inputs: pan, reason)
  • verify-gst: GST registration verification (input: gstin)
  • match-names: name similarity check, returns optimistic and pessimistic match percentages
  • Packaged as an MCP server and published to PyPI for easy install and integration
  • Developer tooling: build/publish workflow (uv sync, uv build, uv publish) and Inspector debugging

use cases

  1. Customer onboarding and identity verification
  2. Compliance and KYC checks for financial services
  3. Payment/merchant onboarding requiring PAN/GST validation
  4. Automated name-matching for record reconciliation and fraud detection
