GLEIF MCP Server — Claude Code MCP server: setup
This MCP server queries GLEIF for LEIs, company records, ownership links, and BIC/SWIFT or ISIN matches. Use it for KYC and counterparty checks.
claude mcp add gleif-mcp-server -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/olgasafonova/gleif-mcp-server:0.9.0What GLEIF MCP Server does
GLEIF MCP Server connects an agent to GLEIF’s public API. It can find entities by name, return records by LEI, check the identifier format and registration status, and process up to 100 LEIs in one request. Local caching keeps returned data available for repeat queries.
The server also maps BIC/SWIFT and ISIN values to legal entities, then exposes parent, subsidiary, ultimate-parent, and fund relationships. No API key is required. Claude Code installation starts the server in a Docker container, so Docker must be available on the machine.
What it helps with
- verify a counterparty’s LEI before signing
- find a legal entity by name
- map a BIC or ISIN to its issuer
- trace parent and ultimate-parent links
- validate a list of LEIs in one request
Example prompts for the agent
- Look up the LEI for Acme and report its registration status.
- Find the legal entity linked to this BIC code and return its LEI.
- Check this ISIN, identify its issuer, and show the ultimate parent.
