mcp-sanctions - Watchlist Screening for KYC and AML¶

Stdio MCP server (PyPI) - screens persons and organizations against public watchlists (Rosfinmonitoring, OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, UK OFSI, UN Security Council) with neutral match output: match level, list version and check date in every answer, plus a disclaimer. Manual verification remains required.

Why This Matters for Operators¶

Screening a counterparty against five watchlists in one call, with an explicit neutral match level instead of a binary verdict, is exactly the output a compliance workflow needs: the tool reports the match against a dated list version and leaves the decision to a human. It is built to be an input to KYC/AML processes, not a replacement for them.

Tools & Capabilities (4 tools)¶

Tool	Description
screen_person	Screen a natural person by full name, optionally with date of birth
screen_entity	Screen an organization by name, INN or OGRN
screen_inn	Quick lookup by Russian tax identification number
list_watchlists	Metadata on supported lists and their update dates

Installation¶

pipx install atomno-mcp-sanctions
# or: uvx atomno-mcp-sanctions

Cursor or Claude Desktop (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sanctions": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["atomno-mcp-sanctions"],
      "env": { "MCP_SANCTIONS_API_KEY": "<your-pro-key>" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration¶

MCP_SANCTIONS_API_KEY - Pro key from atomno-mcp.ru/pricing, sent as the X-API-Key header (required)
MCP_SANCTIONS_API_BASE - hosted backend URL (default https://api.atomno-mcp.ru/sanctions)
MCP_SANCTIONS_TIMEOUT - HTTP timeout in seconds (default 30)

Business Relevance¶

Useful for: compliance officers screening counterparties across five jurisdictions at once, KYC onboarding checks with auditable list versions and dates, and due-diligence workflows where the answer must state its source rather than assert a verdict.

Limitations¶

The Central Bank of Russia denylist is not supported (not public). The tool explicitly does not make judgements and is not a basis for decisions on its own; every answer carries a disclaimer that data may age. Pro key required for the hosted data backend.
