Short answer

How can I run entity screening searches with my AI?

Tell your AI the name of the person or company you want to check. It will trigger a search in ComplyAdvantage and pull the risk data back to your chat. You'll get access to new searches, existing search details, and your full history.

Search outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI handles the technical execution, leaving you to focus on the results.

NEW

Active searches

The AI creates new screening requests based on your text. You get the raw risk data for the entity you named.

HISTORY

Search logs

Your agent can pull up a list of everything you've searched for recently. This keeps your investigation history organized.

DETAIL

Deep dives

Once a search is done, your AI pulls the specific risk hits and profile information. You get the granular data needed for a decision.

HUMAN

Final review

The AI presents the findings, but you make the call. You decide if a hit requires a manual escalation or a freeze.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a search.

  2. Verify status

    The AI checks if the screening process is finished or still running in the background.

  3. Extract risk data

FAQ

How the screening task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI perform the actual compliance decision?

    No. The AI only retrieves the data and presents the hits. You must review the findings and make the final determination.

  • 02

    Can my AI delete a search from the history?

    No. The available tools only allow for creating, listing, and viewing searches. Deletion is not a capability of this MCP.

  • 03

    Does the AI need to manually enter the entity details?

    No. You just tell the AI the name in plain English, and it handles the data entry for the search.

  • 04

    Can I see the results of a search from last week?

    Yes. Your AI can use the list and detail tools to find and retrieve any previous search in your history.

  • 05

    Will the AI automatically flag a person as high risk?

    No. The AI provides the data that indicates risk, but it does not assign risk scores or labels itself.
