## Description
Screen a vendor or person name against the OFAC SDN list and the UK Sanctions List, with normalize, evidence report, UK changes and batch tools. Candidate matches need human review. Pay per call with x402 USDC on Base ($0.15 per screen). No API key.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **exclusion_normalize** — Normalize identifiers before source screening. This operation does not determine eligibility. Price $0.01 USDC. POST /api/v1/exclusion/normalize. Unpaid calls return 402 and do not run.
- **exclusion_screen** — Compare a vendor name with the official OFAC SDN list. Candidate matches require human review; source unavailability produces WARN. Price $0.15 USDC. POST /api/v1/exclusion/screen. Unpaid calls return 402 and do not run.
- **exclusion_evidence-report** — Screen a vendor name against the official OFAC SDN list and produce a PDF with source status, candidate records, timestamp, and snapshot hash. Matches are not identity confirmations. Price $0.15 USDC. POST /api/v1/exclusion/evidence-report. Unpaid calls return 402 and do not run.
- **exclusion_uk-screen** — Compare a vendor name with the official UK Sanctions List XML. Candidate matches require human review; source unavailability produces WARN. Price $0.15 USDC. POST /api/v1/exclusion/uk/screen. Unpaid calls return 402 and do not run.
- **exclusion_uk-changes** — Retrieve changes to the UK Sanctions List since a given date, using the official Last Updated field and designation dates. Price $0.05 USDC. POST /api/v1/exclusion/uk/changes. Unpaid calls return 402 and do not run.
- **exclusion_batch-screen** — Screen multiple vendors against the official OFAC SDN list. Each vendor is screened independently. Price $0.10 USDC. POST /api/v1/exclusion/batch-screen. Unpaid calls return 402 and do not run.
- **exclusion_multi-list-screen** — Combine OFAC SDN and UK Sanctions List screening for a single vendor. Matches across lists require human identity review. Price $0.20 USDC. POST /api/v1/exclusion/multi-list/screen. Unpaid calls return 402 and do not run.

## Documentation

## What BRAINIAC OFAC & UK Sanctions Screening does

BRAINIAC OFAC & UK Sanctions Screening provides MCP tools for checking vendor and person names against two sanctions sources: the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals list and the UK Sanctions List. It is intended for screening workflows where an agent needs to compare submitted names with sanctions-list entries and return results for further review.

The service is hosted at `https://www.brainiac.software/mcp/exclusion`, which is the MCP endpoint clients connect to. It does not require an API key. Usage is paid per call with x402 USDC on Base, at $0.15 per screen.

## How it works

An MCP client connects to the hosted endpoint and invokes the screening tools for a vendor or person name. Names can be normalized before screening, helping prepare input for comparison. Screening results can be accompanied by an evidence report, giving reviewers supporting information for the result.

The service also includes a tool for UK sanctions-list changes and tools for batch screening. These options support both one-off checks and workflows that need to process multiple names. A candidate match is not a final compliance determination: matches need human review before any decision is made.

## Setup and configuration

Configure an MCP client to use this hosted endpoint:

```text
https://www.brainiac.software/mcp/exclusion
```

No API key is required. Calls use x402 payment with USDC on Base. The listed price is $0.15 per screen. Because the service is accessed through a hosted MCP endpoint, the main setup task is adding that endpoint to the client or agent workflow that will call the tools.

## Tools and capabilities

- Screen vendor or person names against the OFAC SDN list.
- Screen vendor or person names against the UK Sanctions List.
- Normalize names before screening.
- Produce evidence reports for screening results.
- Inspect changes to the UK Sanctions List.
- Process screening requests in batches.

## Limitations and notes

Results identify candidate matches and require human review. The service should therefore support, rather than replace, an organization’s sanctions-review process. Screening is charged per call through x402 using USDC on Base, and no API key is part of the connection setup.
