VerifyDesk — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Hosted MCP server to look up French businesses, validate EU VAT and IBAN numbers, and run OFAC or UN sanctions checks directly from your AI agent.
claude mcp add --transport http verifydesk https://verifydesk.agenttoolworks.com/mcpWhat VerifyDesk does
VerifyDesk runs as an external HTTP endpoint at https://verifydesk.agenttoolworks.com/mcp. There is no local service to host. Once connected, your agent receives tools such as verify_company and enrich_company for the French registry, verify_vat via VIES, and validate_iban.
The screen_sanctions tool queries OFAC and UN databases for due diligence screening. This check offers an initial risk indicator rather than a final legal assessment. Operations consume prepaid credits: 0.2 credits for IBAN or VAT validation and 1 credit for company lookups. Failed server calls carry no charge.
What it helps with
- Verify company registration data in the French registry
- Validate bank IBAN numbers offline
- Check EU VAT numbers against VIES records
- Screen entities against OFAC and UN sanctions lists
