Sanctions Screening: Check Names Against OFAC, EU, UK & UN

Checks names, companies and crypto addresses against official OFAC, EU, UK and UN sanctions data in one call, and returns a plain-English decision your team can act on instead of a pile of raw rows to interpret yourselves.

Why use it

AML and KYC teams doing this by hand open the OFAC SDN list, the EU Consolidated list, the UK OFSI list and the UN Consolidated list separately, download different file formats, and manually cross-check every name against each one. That is minutes per name that should take seconds.

This server closes the gap: official government sources, cross-list identity consolidation, a documented CLEAR / REVIEW / ESCALATE decision instead of a bare score, and change monitoring — callable directly by an AI agent or from any MCP client.

Key features

• OFAC SDN screening — the US Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals list, matched with typo and word-order tolerance.
• OFAC Consolidated screening — the US Treasury's non-SDN consolidated list.
• EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions — the European Commission's official financial sanctions database.
• UK OFSI Consolidated List — the UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation's targets list.
• UN Security Council Consolidated List — the UN's official sanctions list.
• Risk-programme flags — matches tagged IRAN, RUSSIA-EO14024, DPRK, CYBER, TERRORISM, PROLIFERATION, GLOBAL-MAGNITSKY and more.
• Cross-list identity consolidation — the same person listed by OFAC, the EU, the UK and the UN comes back as one match, not four rows to reconcile by hand.
• False-positive analysis — date of birth, country, nationality or identifier mismatches are surfaced explicitly against every match.
• Crypto address screening — BTC, ETH and similar wallet addresses checked against OFAC's published digital currency address list.
• Whitelist memory — names or list IDs already cleared are suppressed with a documented reason instead of re-flagging every call.
• Change monitoring — re-screen the same subjects and get back only what changed since your last check.
• PDF audit certificates — an optional screening certificate documenting subject, lists, versions, method, threshold and verdict.

Who it's for

Compliance and risk teams. Screen a new counterparty at onboarding and get a documented CLEAR / REVIEW / ESCALATE verdict with false-positive analysis, instead of four separate list lookups reconciled by hand.

Finance and accounts payable. Check a payee before releasing a wire, including the crypto wallet address when that is the payment rail, so a blocked party is caught before funds move.

Operations and procurement. Screen a supplier list before a contract round, then use monitor_changes on a schedule so a supplier who becomes listed after onboarding surfaces on the next check.

Developers and AI agents. Call screen_entity inside a KYC intake or payment-release flow, branch on verdict, and escalate only REVIEW and ESCALATE to a human.

When to use it, and when not to

Use it for AML/KYC screening, denied-party and export-control checks, payment and payee screening, periodic re-screening, and pulling clean structured list data into your own systems.

Do not use it as your compliance programme. It is a screening input, not a determination: it does not decide whether to onboard, block or file a report, it does not replace analyst judgement, and it is not legal advice. This server screens five official government lists only — it does not include any politically exposed persons (PEP) collection. It also does not do adverse-media screening or full beneficial-ownership tracing.

Tools

screen_entity — screen names, companies or crypto addresses across all five lists. Returns consolidated matches, risk flags, false-positive analysis and a CLEAR / REVIEW / ESCALATE verdict.

{
  "subjects": [{ "name": "Jane Doe", "country": "Cuba" }],
  "threshold": 85
}

{
  "subject": "Jane Doe",
  "verdict": "REVIEW",
  "recommendedAction": "Route to a compliance analyst for manual review before proceeding.",
  "matchCount": 1,
  "highestConfidence": 91
}

monitor_changes — re-screen subjects against freshly-cached lists and report only what changed since a prior result set you supply back.

export_list — dump one official sanctions list as CSV, JSON or XLSX.

list_status — report which sanctions lists are loaded and when they were last updated.

Built for AI agents, callable by humans too

An AI agent can call these tools directly as one step inside a larger workflow — KYC intake, vendor onboarding, payment release — without a human copying names between systems. A person can call the same tools through any MCP client, or directly over HTTP JSON-RPC for testing.

Trust & limits

Data comes from official government sources only. Screening is an input to a compliance decision, never the decision itself: a CLEAR verdict is not a guarantee of absence, and confidence scores are a documented, published method rather than an industry standard. Lists are cached and re-fetched on a schedule; list_status tells you exactly which version answered your call.
