Pappers MCP + Data.gouv v2: 7 use cases with exact prompts
Version 2 of the Pappers MCP + Data.gouv guide, built for wealth advisors, private bankers, and wealth managers. It integrates feedback from the first 5,000 downloads and provides 7 concrete use cases with exact ready-to-run prompts.
The principle is known. Execution comes from exact prompts, in the right context, at the right moment.
What version 2 changes
The first guide explained the approach. This version answers the operational question: what exactly should you type to get immediately actionable output.
The 7 use cases cover key moments: exit preparation, monthly monitoring, KYC onboarding, holding detection, executive qualification, real-estate validation, and cross-reading with sector context.
The objective is simple: reduce prep time, strengthen factual reliability, and trigger the right outreach with a precise angle.
