Dev Builds MCP Server Connecting Agents to 13 Official Databases to Stop Hallucinations

To prevent AI agents from fabricating CIK, LEI, or court cases during company research, the author built an MCP server wrapping 13 official data sources.
- Data Sources: Includes SEC EDGAR, GLEIF, US state business registries, CourtListener, USAspending, FEC, UK Companies House, and EU VIES.
- Workflow: A single call resolves a company's legal identity, pulls actual filings, or checks for lawsuits. By reading government APIs directly, it eliminates the risk of invented data.
- Limitations: State registry coverage is currently thin (NY, CO, CT, OR only) with no Delaware support. US and EU data is solid, while other regions are thinner.
- Infrastructure: Runs on Apify with a pay-per-successful-call model, charging nothing for empty results.
