Scrutica MCP Server

What CHANGED in the BIS Entity List, as bounded change-log summaries. Backed by the same derivation the public /export-controls/changes page and its RSS feed render. PREFER this over scrutica_query_export_controls for freshness questions ("what changed this month", "latest additions", "recent removals"): designation rows arrive already grouped into per-Federal-Register-notice change events, so you do not re-derive notice grouping from citation strings. Each event includes: canonical FR citation and link, notice title / publication date / document number where the citation resolved to one FR document, a derived event date labeled with the source column it came from, entity / addition / removal counts, per-country counts, a bounded sample of entity names, and the entities cross-referenced to compute-infrastructure organizations. Removal actions are returned separately as date-keyed events — a screening list maintained from additions alone over-blocks forever. Also returns a last-N-ISO-week activity rollup counting BOTH additions and removals. Zero-count weeks are a real quiet-Federal-Register signal, not missing data. Results are bounded summaries, never row dumps: at most 24 events per call (default 6, newest first), with any truncation declared in metadata. Cite totals from the count field and per-event entity_count — never by summing a sampled list. Do NOT use this to look up one entity's designation rows — use scrutica_query_export_controls (substring match on the published name). Use company_id here only to scope the log to notices touching an organization you already resolved. Authority tier: Federal-Register-anchored designations are Tier 1 (primary source). The event date is derived (modal designation_date, falling back to modal effective_date) and labeled with its source.

Estimate hypothetical peak and sustained throughput for a user-specified hardware configuration and precision. Sustained throughput equals dense peak throughput multiplied by accelerator count and utilization. The reported bounds are fixed at 0.7 and 1.15 times that result; they are model assumptions. Retain the bounds and is_estimated flag when quoting the estimate. This tool does not verify a named facility's inventory, availability or regulatory compliance. Named-facility estimates have separate evidence requirements documented at /methodology#flop-estimation.

Fetch complete details for a single organization (company, government entity, holding company) by canonical Scrutica ID. Returns: legal name, country of HQ, organization type, parent / subsidiary references, supply-chain edge counts. Use scrutica_query_export_controls for BIS designation details. Use scrutica_get_supply_chain for full edge graphs.

Fetch complete details for a single Scrutica facility by canonical ID. Returns: operator, owner, country, power capacity (MW), GPU inventory (where disclosed), location (lat/lng), facility type, status, data_source, source_url, is_estimated flags, and any logged data-quality flags (cross-source divergence investigations). For BIS Entity List designations tied to the facility's owner, look up the owner org via scrutica_query_export_controls — this tool does not compute ownership-chain BIS exposure. Resolve facility IDs first via scrutica_search.

Return methodology documentation for a Scrutica metric or index. Topics: 'flop-estimation', 'cost-index', 'compute-visibility-index', 'supply-chain-weighting', 'chokepoint-cascade', 'sovereign-execution-classification'. Returns the canonical URL + section anchor + summary. Use this when a user asks "how did you calculate X".

Fetch geopolitical compute risk scenarios. Available: 'taiwan-strait' (4 TSMC disruption scenarios), 'iran-threat' (IRGC missile range vs Gulf compute), 'tokyo-earthquake' (Japan memory-fab exposure), 'south-china-sea' (submarine cable severing), 'abqaiq-2' (Saudi grid). Returns the scenario's summary plus its substrate serialized from the interactive page's own data modules — assumption scenarios / threat systems / affected assets with per-item sources and authority tiers, capped lists shipping their true totals. The propagation SIMULATION itself remains interactive-only at the returned URL.

Fetch detailed data on a national sovereign AI compute program. Returns: announced_usd, announced_govt_only_usd, committed_usd, disbursed_usd, reality_ratio, status, key_partners, NVIDIA/US dependency, source_count. 'list_all' returns a summary table of all tracked programs. announced_usd can include private commitments; announced_govt_only_usd records the government-funded portion. Compare the programme sources for scope, dates and currency conversions. A government-only figure can still span a different budget period or initiative from another programme's figure. reality_ratio divides disbursed_usd by announced_govt_only_usd, using announced_usd when the government-only field is null. The ratio is null when disbursement or the denominator is missing, or the denominator is zero. Each row includes reality_ratio_denominator_usd and reality_ratio_denominator_field so the division is reproducible from the payload. Disbursements can include transfers to an administering body before expenditure on equipment or services. Missing fields and differing reporting scopes limit comparisons; reality_ratio_unavailable_reason explains an absent ratio.

Return supply-chain relationships for one or more organizations. direction = 'upstream' traces suppliers (who feeds this entity); 'downstream' traces customers (who depends on this entity); 'both' returns both. Each edge carries supplier_org_id, customer_org_id, product_service, data_source, and nullable numerical and sole-source attributes. Collection size: 18,874 supply-chain records across all sources (snapshot 2026-09-21).

Look up BIS Entity List designations for companies or countries. The queried dataset is the US Commerce Department Entity List, Federal-Register-anchored; it does NOT cover OFAC SDN or Wassenaar CCL (for an organization's OFAC SDN / NS-CMIC / Section-1260H status, use scrutica_get_company — the record has on_ofac_sdn / on_ns_cmic / on_1260h booleans). entity_name is a case-insensitive substring match against the designated entity's published name (no alias expansion). Returns entity_name, entity_type, country, list_type, designation_date, removal_date, grounds, federal_register_citation, source_url (Federal Register notice URL), data_quality_flags. Provide entity_name or country. entity_id filtering is not implemented: an entity_id-only call is rejected; alongside a supported filter, entity_id is ignored and the response sets entity_id_ignored: true. Authority tier: Federal-Register-anchored designations are Tier 1 (primary source). bis_coverage_class discriminates how a row is covered: explicitly_named (FR notice cites the entity by name) vs affiliate_50pct_rule (inferred via BIS's 50% Affiliates Rule). coverage_note is populated only on affiliate_50pct_rule rows and states whether that rule is currently suspended. data_quality_flags is an array of provenance/caveat notes, empty for most rows; where present (derived-country provenance, removal-date sourcing, or the affiliate rows' suspension and substrate-reproducibility caveats) treat it as load-bearing context for the row.

Search facilities, companies, or sovereign programs by free-text query. Returns ranked results with id, name, type, one-line summary, and Scrutica URL. Filter by entity_type to scope to a single class. Filter by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. Do NOT use this for BIS Entity List / export-control lookups — use scrutica_query_export_controls. Do NOT use this for supply-chain traversal — resolve an entity ID first via this tool, then call scrutica_get_supply_chain.
