Perplexity

Verify carrier registration instantly

The `lookup_filer_by_id` tool queries the official FCC database to retrieve the legal registration status of any US telecommunications operator. You paste a Filer ID into Claude Desktop, and your agent pulls the carrier's legal name, registration date, and active status. No more digging through ancient government portals or manual PDF exports. This direct lookup bypasses the slow public search portals. Your agent parses the raw registration data, flags compliance issues, and displays the carrier's corporate structure in your Claude Desktop chat window.

Locate unregistered providers with fuzzy search

The `search_telecom_filers` tool lets you run fuzzy brand searches across the national telecom database to locate specific corporate entities. When a provider uses multiple doing-business-as (DBA) names, your agent cross-references these names against the master registry. You get immediate matches even when the corporate name doesn't match the brand. This capability prevents unlisted providers from slipping through your compliance audits. The server returns matched records instantly, allowing Claude Desktop to map out parent companies and subsidiaries without leaving your workspace.

Run compliance audits using this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes live FCC data directly to your local workspace, turning Claude Desktop into an automated auditor. By combining both tools, your agent validates carrier lists, checks Form 499 statuses, and flags entities that are operating without proper federal registration. You don't need to manually scrape the FCC database or maintain local ISP registration mirrors. The server handles the connection to the government registry, letting you focus on analyzing the results and drafting audit reports in Claude Desktop.
