OFAC SDN Screening missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 2

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

screen

screen_sdn

Screen a name against a dated snapshot of the public OFAC SDN list. Returns one of three verdicts — match, possible_match, or no_match — and ranked matches with the OFAC list entry and the field that matched. The query is NOT stored or anchored on this path. A potential match requires human review — it is information, not a legal or compliance determination.

sdn

get_sdn_list_meta

Return the provenance AND the freshness of the loaded OFAC SDN list: source URL, publish date, record count, fetch time, the source + index content hashes, and how many days old the snapshot is against a 14-day staleness threshold (the flag keys on fetch age, not publish age). No input, no PII. Use this to confirm which list version a screening ran against, and how current it is.

OFAC SDN Screening — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can OFAC SDN Screening do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_sdn_list_meta, screen_sdn. 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 OFAC SDN Screening working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 279 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect OFAC SDN Screening?

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 OFAC SDN Screening need an API key?

No. OFAC SDN Screening completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is OFAC SDN Screening?

It answers our handshake in 279 ms on average, which is faster than 53% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
