Recordwire MCP server
U.S. business-registry data and change events for agents. Search companies, read their history, and get told when they change: new formations, name changes, status changes (dissolved, revoked, reinstated), address, registered-agent, and officer changes. Data comes from official state sources: bulk files and open data where states publish them, and the state's own public business search where they do not.
