BizVerify MCP Server

KYB for AI agents — verify and search business entities across US state and international company registries, straight from any MCP client.

BizVerify confirms a company's legal existence, status, good standing, registered agent, officers, and filing history by reading official government business registries in real time.

The canonical BizVerify MCP server is hosted as a Streamable HTTP endpoint:

Code

https://api.bizverify.co/mcp

This repository packages that server as a local stdio bridge (plus a Docker image) for MCP clients and sandboxes that expect a local process. The bridge is a thin transparent proxy — tool definitions and results come directly from the hosted server, so it never drifts out of sync.

Tools

Tool	Auth	What it does
`get_config`	–	Supported jurisdictions, credit pricing, packages, features
`list_jurisdictions`	–	All jurisdictions with capabilities and active status
`verify_business`	✅	Confirm a named business in one jurisdiction — existence, status, good standing (quick), plus entity type, formation date, registered agent, officers, principal address and filings (deep)
`search_entities`	✅	Discover candidate businesses by name across one or all active jurisdictions
`check_job_status`	✅	Poll an async verification job (free)
`get_entity`	✅	Retrieve cached entity data by ID (free)
`get_entity_history`	✅	Historical verification snapshots for an entity
`get_account`	✅	Account details and credit balance
`purchase_credits`	✅	Create a Stripe checkout session for more credits

Tools marked ✅ require an API key (or OAuth token). get_config and list_jurisdictions are free and unauthenticated.

Quick start

Option A — Hosted endpoint (recommended)

If your client supports remote MCP servers, just point it at https://api.bizverify.co/mcp and send your key as an X-API-Key header (OAuth 2.1 Bearer tokens are also accepted).

For stdio-only clients, bridge the hosted endpoint with mcp-remote:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bizverify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.bizverify.co/mcp",
        "--header", "X-API-Key:${BIZVERIFY_API_KEY}"
      ],
      "env": { "BIZVERIFY_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Option B — This bridge (from source)

bash

git clone https://github.com/BizVerify/bizverify-mcp.git
cd bizverify-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then register it with your client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bizverify": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/bizverify-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "BIZVERIFY_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Option C — Docker

Terminal

docker build -t bizverify-mcp .
docker run -i --rm -e BIZVERIFY_API_KEY=your-api-key bizverify-mcp

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bizverify": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "BIZVERIFY_API_KEY", "bizverify-mcp"],
      "env": { "BIZVERIFY_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Env var	Required	Default	Description
`BIZVERIFY_API_KEY`	For authenticated tools	–	Your BizVerify API key, sent as `X-API-Key`. `get_config` and `list_jurisdictions` work without it.
`BIZVERIFY_MCP_URL`	No	`https://api.bizverify.co/mcp`	Override the upstream MCP endpoint.

Getting an API key

Create one in seconds — new accounts get 50 free credits:

bash

# 1. Request an access code (sent by email)
curl -X POST https://api.bizverify.co/v1/auth/request-access \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com","accept_terms":true}'

# 2. Exchange the 6-digit code for an API key
curl -X POST https://api.bizverify.co/v1/auth/verify-access \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com","code":"123456","label":"mcp"}'

See the setup guide and docs for full details.

Development

Terminal

npm install
npm run build        # compile to dist/
npm run typecheck    # type-check only
npm start            # run the stdio bridge

# Refresh the offline tool snapshot from the live endpoint
node scripts/gen-snapshot.mjs

The bundled src/tools-snapshot.ts is used only as an offline fallback for tools/list (e.g. during a sandboxed container check). Live calls always proxy to the hosted server.
