Frequently asked questions
Is the OFAC SLS API Key required?
No. The SLS API is publicly accessible. However, providing an API key if you have one ensures higher rate limits and consistent access.
What is the difference between SDN and Non-SDN lists?
The SDN (Specially Designated Nationals) list contains individuals and entities whose assets are blocked. Non-SDN lists contain entities subject to other sanctions, such as sector-specific or prohibited accounts.
Can I see aliases for a specific person?
Yes! Use the get_entity_details tool with the specific Entity ID. The agent will return the full profile, including all known aliases, addresses, and identifying information.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
