🛡️ Sanctions Compliance MCP Server

Sanctions screening & enforcement-intelligence MCP for AML/KYC/compliance agents.

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, not a one-shot scraper. It exposes NexGenData's public-data sanctions watchlists and regulatory enforcement registers as agent-callable tools so an AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client) can screen names and investigate enforcement actions on demand.

All data is sourced from public, official government watchlists and enforcement registers. This server orchestrates existing NexGenData actors — it does not re-scrape or add new data sources.

What it does

A single connection gives a compliance agent two capabilities:

1. Sanctions / watchlist screening — screen any individual or entity name against the four major global financial-sanctions lists (OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, UN Security Council, UK HMT/OFSI), individually or all-at-once.
2. Regulatory enforcement intelligence — search published enforcement actions from seven major regulators across the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Typical use cases: KYC onboarding checks, ongoing customer/counterparty screening, adverse-media and regulatory-history due diligence, third-party / vendor risk assessment, and AML investigation support.

Tools (12)

Sanctions screening

Tool	Source list	Key inputs
screen_ofac_sdn	US Treasury OFAC SDN	name, program, entity_type, max_results
screen_eu_sanctions	EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions	name, program, entity_type, max_results
screen_un_sanctions	UN Security Council Consolidated	name, program, entity_type, max_results
screen_uk_hmt_sanctions	UK HM Treasury (OFSI) Consolidated	name, program, entity_type, max_results
screen_all_sanctions	OFAC + EU + UN + UK (fan-out)	name, max_results

screen_all_sanctions is a convenience tool: it screens one name across all four lists in parallel and returns per-list matches plus an overall any_hit flag — the fastest single-call screen.

Regulatory enforcement intelligence

Tool	Regulator	Key inputs
search_ftc_enforcement	US FTC (consumer protection, antitrust, privacy)	query, date_from, date_to, max_cases
search_epa_enforcement	US EPA ECHO (environmental compliance)	state (required), program, compliance_status, max_facilities
search_fca_enforcement	UK FCA (financial conduct)	firm_or_individual, action_type, date_from, date_to, max_results

Example agent workflows

• KYC onboarding: "Screen 'Acme Holdings Ltd' across all sanctions lists" → screen_all_sanctions(name="Acme Holdings Ltd").
• Targeted OFAC check: "Is anyone named Maduro on the OFAC SDN list?" → screen_ofac_sdn(name="Maduro").
• Counterparty due diligence: "Has this UK firm faced FCA enforcement?" → search_fca_enforcement(firm_or_individual="<firm>").
• Market-abuse research: "Find CFTC spoofing cases since 2023" → search_cftc_enforcement(violation_category="spoofing", year_start=2023).

Data sources & compliance notes

All results come from public official sources: US Treasury OFAC, the EU Consolidated List, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, UK HM Treasury (OFSI), and the public enforcement registers of the FTC, EPA, FCA, ASIC, MAS, SFC, and CFTC. This tool surfaces public-record information to support compliance workflows; it is not a substitute for a regulated screening provider or for professional legal/compliance judgement. Always confirm potential matches against the primary official source.

A practical, per-call alternative to enterprise screening feeds (Dow Jones, World-Check, ComplyAdvantage) for agentic AML/KYC and regulatory-intelligence workflows.
