Today is the operative word: we check VerifyDesk every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

verify
verify_company
Verifies a company against its official state registry and returns its legal status. France (SIREN/SIRET) and the United Kingdom (Companies House company number) are supported. Input: country and a query that is either a registration number or a company name. Returns up to 5 normalized records: registration number, legal name, active/closed status, legal form, activity code, registered address, creation date. Costs 1 credit.
verify_vat
Validates an EU VAT number live against VIES (European Commission) and returns whether it is currently valid, with the registered name and address when the member state provides them. Input: the full VAT number with its country prefix, e.g. 'FR40303265045'. Optional: requester_vat_number, your own EU VAT number; VIES then issues a consultationNumber, its official proof that you made this check at checkedAt. If VIES or the member state is down, returns the last answer VIES gave us for that number within the past 7 days, marked stale: true with its original checkedAt and never a consultation number; with no such answer, a retryable error. Fresh answers carry stale: false. Light read: costs 0.2 credit.
enrich
enrich_company
Returns extended registry data for one company identified by its registration number: officers/directors currently in office (name and role), legal form, activity, address, headcount range when available. Input: country (FR or GB) and the exact registration number (SIREN for FR, company number for GB). Costs 1 credit.
screen
screen_sanctions
Screens a person or company name against official sanctions lists: OFAC SDN and OFAC Consolidated (US Treasury), the UN Security Council Consolidated List, the EU consolidated financial sanctions list and the UK Sanctions List, primary names and aliases. Matching ignores case, accents, punctuation, word order and legal forms (LLC, PJSC, GmbH), and tolerates one typo in a word of 4+ letters and common transliterations (Sergei, Sergey, Sergej). Each match has a score from 0 to 1 and a match_type (exact, alias, fuzzy); only scores at or above min_score (default 0.85) are returned, at most 10 designated parties. Always reports which lists were screened, which were unavailable and when each was last refreshed: keep 'data_as_of' with the result as evidence of the check. Latin-script names only; dates of birth, nationalities and addresses are not compared. A match is a signal for enhanced due diligence, never a legal determination. Costs 1 credit.
usage
get_usage
Returns your current plan, remaining credit balance and call volume over the last 30 days. Free to call.
validate
validate_iban
Validates an IBAN offline against the SWIFT IBAN Registry (Release 103, Sep 2026, all 89 countries): registered country, length, the national account format (BBAN), check digits 02-98 and the ISO 7064 mod-97 checksum. Returns valid, and when invalid a stable reason_code (malformed, unknown_country, wrong_length, bad_bban_format, bad_check_digits, checksum_failed) with a human reason; on a valid IBAN, the bank_code and branch_code the registry defines for that country. Optional bic: checks the ISO 9362 format and its country code, returned as bic.valid; a BIC country that differs from the IBAN country is a warnings entry, not an invalid result. 'valid' is about the IBAN only. This checks structure, not that the account or BIC exists. Light read: costs 0.2 credit.

VerifyDesk — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can VerifyDesk do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: enrich_company, get_usage, screen_sanctions, validate_iban, verify_company, verify_vat. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is VerifyDesk working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 359 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect VerifyDesk?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does VerifyDesk need an API key?
No. VerifyDesk completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is VerifyDesk?
It answers our handshake in 359 ms on average, which is faster than 39% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is VerifyDesk open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
