Sanctions Screening MCP Server

MCP server for OFAC, EU, UK, and UN sanctions screening. Hosted on MCPize. Enables AI agents to perform compliance checks directly — essential for fintech AML/KYC workflows, payment processors, and any business handling international transactions.

What It Does

Sanctions screening is legally required for financial services. This MCP server wraps consolidated sanctions lists into agent-callable tools:

  • OFAC — US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (SDN list)
  • EU Consolidated List — European Union sanctions
  • UK Sanctions List — HM Treasury / OFSI
  • UN Security Council — United Nations consolidated sanctions

Business Operator Use Cases

Use Case Value
Customer Onboarding "Screen this customer against all sanctions lists before activating their account"
Payment Screening "Check this SWIFT transaction beneficiary against OFAC"
Periodic Review "Re-screen all high-risk customers monthly"
Vendor Due Diligence "Screen this new supplier against EU/UK sanctions"

Limitations

  • 0 stars, brand new — Created July 22, 2026. Not proven.
  • Hosted on MCPize — Third-party dependency. Data goes through their infra.
  • No watchlist monitoring — One-time screening only. No ongoing monitoring.
  • Regulatory gap — Sanctions screening results must be reviewed by humans for regulatory compliance. Agent-only screening is insufficient for audit.

Operator Verdict

★★★ Critical capability, watch for maturity. Sanctions compliance is non-negotiable for fintech. This fills a real gap in the MCP ecosystem. The hosted MCPize model reduces setup friction but introduces third-party risk. Wait for adoption signals (>20 stars, first production deployment report) before relying on it for actual compliance workflows.
