A language model asked "is this company real, active and sanctioned?" answers from its training data, which is neither current nor citable. Prometiam publishes a Model Context Protocol server, prometiam-risk-mcp, so Claude Desktop, Cursor and any MCP client answer from the official registries of Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland and Norway — company search and detail, officers where the registry publishes them, corporate events, corporate insolvency notices, VAT and LEI lookup, and sanctions screening (beta) — with the record behind every answer. Agents built on other stacks call the same REST API and can load the OpenAPI specification as their tool schema.
One command, npx -y prometiam-risk-mcp, with PROMETIAM_API_KEY set to a key from sign-up. The free tier (1,000 calls a month, no card) is enough to try it. Every tool call is one API request; batch tools count each item.

The API returns facts and a sanctions match score, never a decision — an agent should present a hit for review, not declare a verdict. The key stays in the client's environment, never in a prompt.
Ireland and Poland are company-level (no officers yet); Norway has no corporate-event stream; insolvency notices are corporate only across FR, DE, GB, AT, CH, NO, FI, US and NL, with Spain on its own endpoint; monitoring is ES, IE and PL; sanctions screening is beta; PEP is beta and Spain only. No credit scores, no financial statements, no beneficial ownership outside the UK PSC register.
