Nothing serious here today

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

sanctionrail

get_sanctionrail_info

Get details and pricing for SanctionRail: fuzzy-match name screening against the US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and Consolidated Sanctions List, for an agent that needs to check a counterparty before completing a transaction, onboarding a vendor, or approving a payment.

screen

screen_name

Screen a person or company name against OFAC's SDN and Consolidated Sanctions lists (19,874 entities, 21,320 aliases). Returns fuzzy matches banded exact/strong/probable/weak, with the sanctions programme, source list, and a common-name-collision flag so a common name like 'Maria Garcia' is surfaced, not silently suppressed. Free tier: 25 lookups/day per caller IP, no key required. Handles aliases, transliteration, and legal-form variants (JSC / S.A. / GmbH).

Sanctions — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sanctions do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_sanctionrail_info, screen_name. 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 Sanctions working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 5 of 5 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 503 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Sanctions?

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 Sanctions need an API key?

No. Sanctions 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 Sanctions?

It answers our handshake in 503 ms on average, which is faster than 28% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
