Details
The author has created an MCP (Multi-Channel Protocol) server that allows AI agents to easily access and query data from the UK's Companies House registry. This includes searching for companies by name or number, retrieving full company profiles, director and ownership details, filing history, and automated compliance checks. The compliance tool flags issues like inactive companies, overdue accounts, lack of active directors, high director turnover, unclear ownership, and recently incorporated companies - useful for vendor due diligence and supplier assessments. The server can be set up for use with the Claude Desktop AI agent by providing a free API key from the Companies House developer portal.
