Perplexity

Test onboarding logic with live compliance data

Code your signup flow in Cursor and test it with live risk data. Your agent executes `create_search` to verify how your application handles PEP or sanction hits during user registration. You do not need to write mock APIs or stub responses anymore. The agent reads the live payload from `get_search_details` to help you write exact error-handling code. This means you can build and debug your compliance logic using real API responses right inside your editor.

Configure automated monitors from your code editor

Build background compliance syncs while looking at your codebase. Use Cursor to write and test monitoring scripts by triggering `update_search_monitors` directly from the chat panel. You can toggle active tracking on or off to verify how your webhooks handle status changes. If you need to change the fields you are tracking, your agent calls `update_search_profile`. It lets you adjust your monitoring parameters and inspect the raw JSON schema without switching to an external API client.

Manage screening tags using this MCP Server

Keep your test data organized while writing integration tests. This MCP Server lets your agent call `delete_search_tag` to clean up temporary metadata from your database. You can manage your test environment directly from the Cursor terminal. You can also check the status of your team's assignments. The agent calls `list_users` to find who is responsible for specific compliance cases, letting you hardcode the correct user IDs into your testing scripts.
