Available tools 5

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

sponsor

check_sponsor_license

Check whether a company holds a UK or Netherlands work-visa sponsorship licence. The register lists official registered legal entity names, not brand, product, or trading names. If the user provides a brand name, product name, or website, first determine the company's registered legal name (via web search, the company's own website, or the relevant companies register) and pass that. Tolerates minor typos but not brand-vs-legal-name mismatches. Returns licence routes, ratings, locations and register dates. If results are ambiguous or none are found, refine the legal name and try again. For exploring or filtering many companies, use search_sponsors instead.

get_sponsor_details

Full record for one organization by id: routes, ratings, locations and register dates (UK), or sponsor type and KvK number (NL). Optionally include register change history.

get_register_info

Register statistics, data freshness, and terminology for the UK and Netherlands sponsor registers. Use this to explain what a licence, route, rating, or sponsor type means.

salary

check_salary_threshold

Check a UK job offer against the Skilled Worker visa salary thresholds and occupation going rates. Takes a job title (or SOC 2020 code), the annual salary, and the contracted weekly hours — hours matter, because going rates pro-rate. Returns a three-state verdict: eligible, not_eligible, or uncertain with the reason. Covers the standard Skilled Worker route only (not Health & Care or Global Business Mobility).

Sponsor Finder — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sponsor Finder do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_salary_threshold, check_sponsor_license, get_register_info, get_sponsor_details, search_sponsors. 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 Sponsor Finder 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 264 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Sponsor Finder?

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 Sponsor Finder need an API key?

No. Sponsor Finder completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Sponsor Finder?

It answers our handshake in 264 ms on average, which is faster than 55% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Sponsor Finder open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
