Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🛡️ 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` | | `search_asic_enforcement` | Australia ASIC | `firm_name`, `individual_name`, `action_type`, `date_from`, `date_to`, `max_results` | | `search_mas_enforcement` | Singapore MAS | `firm`, `individual`, `action_type`, `date_from`, `date_to`, `max_results` | | `search_sfc_enforcement` | Hong Kong SFC | `keyword`, `action_type`, `party_type`, `date_from`, `date_to`, `max_results` | | `search_cftc_enforcement` | US CFTC (derivatives/commodities) | `keyword`, `violation_category`, `year_start`, `year_end`, `max_releases` | Each tool returns the underlying actor's dataset items in `structuredContent` plus a short text summary. --- ### Connecting The server speaks **MCP over Streamable-HTTP** at the `/mcp` endpoint. **Server URL:** `https://nexgendata--sanctions-compliance-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp` #### Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf (mcp config) ```json { "mcpServers": { "sanctions-compliance": { "url": "https://nexgendata--sanctions-compliance-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } } ```` *** ### 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="")`. - **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. ### Related NexGenData actors - [OFAC Sdn Watchlist Scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/ofac-sdn-watchlist-scraper?fpr=2ayu9b) - [Un Sanctions Consolidated Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/un-sanctions-consolidated-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) - [Eu Consolidated Sanctions Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/eu-consolidated-sanctions-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) - [UK Hmt Financial Sanctions Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/uk-hmt-financial-sanctions-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) - [UK Fca Enforcement Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/uk-fca-enforcement-tracker?fpr=2ayu9b) # Actor input Schema ## `enableServer` (type: `boolean`): Enable MCP server mode (required for MCP usage) ## `port` (type: `integer`): Port to run the MCP server on ## Actor input object example ```json { "enableServer": true, "port": 3000 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
