No! OpenSanctions is completely free for non-commercial use. No authentication required.
What sanctions lists are included?
OpenSanctions aggregates data from OFAC (US), EU Consolidated List, UN Security Council, UK HMT, and many other global sanctions regimes.
How accurate is the name matching?
The API uses fuzzy matching with configurable thresholds (0.0-1.0). Default threshold of 0.85 balances accuracy and recall for most use cases.
Can I screen companies, not just individuals?
Yes! Use search_company to find sanctioned companies, or use the general search with schema='Company' filter.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
