Security Report

8.2
Low Risk8.2Low Risk

localecheck is a well-structured locale-correctness library with clean MCP server implementations in both Python and TypeScript. No authentication mechanisms are required or expected (the server provides deterministic data lookups, not user-specific operations). Code quality is high with proper input validation, comprehensive test coverage, and reasonable error handling. Dependencies are legitimate and appropriate for the purpose. Minor code quality observations exist but do not constitute security vulnerabilities. Package verification found 1 issue.

localecheck

Locale-correctness tools for AI agents. Agents are systematically wrong about everyday non-US data — they read 03/04 as March 4 in the UK, apply today's VAT rate to a historical invoice, format €1,234.50 for a German reader, and miss bank holidays in delivery dates. localecheck gives them verified answers and flags impossible inputs instead of guessing.

Coverage: UK + USA (v1), expanding. Free, no API key.

Packages

PackageInstallUse
TypeScript (primary)packages/localecheck-tsnpx -y localecheck (live on npm)MCP server and importable library
Pythonpackages/localecheck-pythonfrom source (PyPI release coming soon)MCP server, importable library, REST API

Both wrap the same authoritative libraries (libphonenumber, CLDR/Intl, date-holidays) and share the same hand-curated tax data.

What it does

parse_date · validate_phone · format_currency · tax_rate (VAT/sales-tax by date) · is_holiday / next_holiday · parse_address

Quick start (in an AI app)

{ "mcpServers": { "localecheck": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "localecheck"] } } }

Then ask naturally — the agent picks the tool: "A UK invoice dated 1 June 2009 — what VAT rate?"15%.

Repo map

  • packages/localecheck-ts — primary TypeScript package (MCP + library)
  • packages/localecheck-python — Python package + FastAPI REST API
  • eval/ — benchmark harness: how often raw LLMs get this wrong
  • benchmark.html — shareable results page · BUSINESS_MODEL.md — strategy · PUBLISH.md — release steps · LOCAL_TEST.md — test before publishing

Status & caveats

UK VAT history is reliable for the modern era (standard rate). US state sales-tax values are 2025 state base rates (local taxes add on top) — verify against an authoritative feed before live invoicing. Addresses parse + extract a valid postcode/ZIP but don't verify deliverability.

Code: Apache-2.0. Curated tax data: see BUSINESS_MODEL.md.
