BizVerify
KYB for AI agents: verify business registrations from MCP clients.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http bizverify 'https://api.bizverify.co/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"bizverify": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.bizverify.co/mcp"
}
}
}

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:
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:
{
"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)
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.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"bizverify": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/bizverify-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": { "BIZVERIFY_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
}
}
}
Option C — Docker
docker build -t bizverify-mcp .
docker run -i --rm -e BIZVERIFY_API_KEY=your-api-key bizverify-mcp
{
"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:
# 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
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.
