What it does

entity_resolve → you choose → entity_lookup.

What you get

Candidates, organisasjonsnummer, and registry entry.

Choose access in the store, add https://brreg.publifye.com/mcp, and log in with your Publifye account via OAuth. Ask the assistant to check freshness with snapshot_status; you will get the age of the underlying data.

Say "Find this company name". The assistant uses entity_resolve, lets you choose if there is ambiguity, and retrieves the registry entry with entity_lookup.

Provide the industry, municipality, and employee limits to the assistant. It finds the filter codes using code_list and uses entity_search; you get matches and the next page via cursor.

Ask the assistant to use entity_financials for key figures, industry figures, and submitted years. Select a year; the same tool with document_year provides a document link or explains why it is missing.

Ask for both affiliation and neighbors. The assistant uses entity_structure and entity_nearby; you get separate overviews of registry hierarchy and geographic proximity.

Brreg is independent and uses open Brønnøysund data under NLOD. Check freshness with snapshot_status and verify critical information at virksomhet.brreg.no.
