zei-world-mcp

An MCP server that exposes ESG/CSR data from Zei World to LLMs. Browse sectors, search companies, compare ESG scores, and explore detailed evaluation criteria — all through natural language.

Tools

Tool	Description
list_sectors	List all ESG/CSR sectors
list_activities	List activities (sub-categories) within a sector
list_companies_by_activity	List ranked companies in an activity (paginated)
search_company	Search for a company by name
get_company_profile	Get a company's ESG profile (E/S/G scores, classifications)
get_company_criteria	Get detailed evaluation criteria for a company in a category
compare_companies	Compare 2–5 companies side by side
get_activity_ranking	Get the full ranking within an activity, optionally by category

Quick start

npm install
npm run build

Stdio (local MCP client)

npm start

Use with any MCP-compatible client (e.g. Claude Desktop). Add to your client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zei-world": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/zei-world-mcp/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

HTTP (local testing)

npm run start:http

Server listens on http://localhost:3000/mcp. Stateless mode — every POST gets a fresh server instance.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"0.1"}}}'

Docker

npm run build
docker build -t zei-world-mcp .
docker run -p 3000:3000 zei-world-mcp

Vercel

The project includes a serverless handler at api/mcp.ts with a vercel.json config. Deploy by connecting the repo to Vercel — the endpoint will be available at /mcp.
