Tracking company records used to mean a dozen manual logins.
Today's process involves logging into Companies House one day, then opening the secretarial portal another; you pull director details from the first, copy company numbers to the second, and manually track filing deadlines in a third spreadsheet. It’s slow, prone to human error, and forces context switching throughout the entire week.
With this MCP, your agent handles the sequence automatically. You ask one question—'What is Acme Ltd's compliance standing?'—and it executes multiple checks, returning a single, structured answer derived from `get_filing_status` and other tools. It just works.
Inform Direct MCP: Full Statutory Compliance Control
The manual steps that vanish include cross-referencing the Companies House website with the internal corporate governance records, verifying if a director listed in one place matches the shareholder data in another. These checks used to take hours of administrative time.
Now, your agent runs these complex validations instantly. You get verifiable compliance reports on demand. It's that simple.
What your AI can actually do with this
This connector gives your agent full control over managing a UK company's compliance life cycle. You can list and organize all companies in your portfolio while pulling detailed metadata like company numbers and public URLs. It monitors statutory registers for directors, shareholders, and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs), ensuring you maintain perfect regulatory coordination.
The system tracks critical deadlines, such as confirmation statement due dates and annual accounts filing statuses, building a continuous audit trail of all corporate actions. You can also access and organize minutes, resolutions, and share certificates directly through your agent. Connecting Inform Direct via Vinkius allows any MCP-compatible client to act like a dedicated compliance architect; no more manual logins or cross-referencing multiple secretarial portals.
019dd10b-1c14-7021-a18c-1890e7a76f5f Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that your AI client uses this MCP as an interface to run complex corporate queries against live statutory records without human intervention.
First, subscribe to this MCP and retrieve your unique API Key from your Inform Direct account under Integrations.
Next, give the key to your AI client; it establishes the connection and verifies Inform Direct's operational status via check_informdirect_status.
Finally, you prompt your agent with a natural language query—for example, 'What are the filing deadlines for Acme Ltd?'—and receive structured data immediately.
Who is this actually for?
Company Secretaries and Accountants who dread manual compliance checks; Legal teams needing rapid verification of shareholder structures; or Business Owners managing multiple UK entities.
Needs to routinely verify statutory registers, monitor filing deadlines using get_filing_status, and ensure the entire company portfolio remains compliant.
Requires quick summaries of company details (get_company) and access to historical filings (list_filings) when preparing annual accounts or audits.
Must verify PSC details and director appointment history across several entities without leaving their primary workflow environment.
What Changes When You Connect
Forget logging into multiple portals. With this MCP, you can list and manage your entire company portfolio using list_companies from a single query.
Never miss a deadline again. Use get_filing_status to immediately track confirmation statement dates or annual accounts due dates across all entities.
Verify corporate governance instantly. Your agent pulls director details via list_directors and shareholder data using list_shareholders, all in one go.
Maintain a perfect audit trail. The system organizes key documents, letting you access minutes and resolutions through the MCP's document library features.
Confirm connectivity before running complex tasks. Run check_informdirect_status to ensure your API connection is live and stable.
See it in action
Preparing for an Audit
An accountant needs a complete history of all corporate actions across five related companies. They prompt their agent: 'Gather the filings, directors, and shareholder details for these five.' The MCP executes list_filings, list_directors, and list_shareholders sequentially, compiling one comprehensive report.
Onboarding a New Client
A corporate secretary needs to quickly assess the compliance status of a client. They ask for the company details and next due dates. The agent runs get_company followed by get_filing_status, providing an immediate risk assessment.
Portfolio Review
A business owner manages ten separate companies and needs to verify their current legal structure. They simply ask the agent to 'List all my holdings' and get a full, structured list of company numbers via list_companies.
Troubleshooting API Issues
The compliance team suspects data latency. Before running any reports, they execute check_informdirect_status. The agent confirms the connection is active and stable, saving time troubleshooting a broken link.
The honest tradeoffs
Treating it like a simple database lookup.
Manually checking Company House for filing dates, then opening a separate portal to list directors. This requires switching context and copying data between 3+ tabs.
Let your agent handle the sequence. First, use list_companies to identify all targets; then, prompt it to run get_filing_status for that group, followed by list_directors. Keep the process in one conversation.
Only focusing on basic company data.
Asking only for a company's name and number. This leaves out crucial compliance details like who controls the company or when filings are due.
Always follow up core queries with list_shareholders and get_filing_status. These tools ensure you capture the full statutory picture needed for governance.
Assuming data is always current.
Relying on old, cached reports that might not reflect recent changes in directors or corporate filings.
Use list_directors and list_shareholders. These tools pull live statutory register information directly, verifying the most accurate data available.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
You need this MCP if your primary pain point is managing statutory compliance across multiple UK corporate entities. Use it when you need to query related datasets—for instance, linking a company's filing status (get_filing_status) to its current directors (list_directors). Don't use this if you only need general business directory information; those resources are better handled by simple search engines. If your goal is purely to manage documents without checking live compliance data (e.g., just archiving minutes), the document library features alone might suffice, but for true corporate governance, this MCP is necessary.
Questions you might have
How do I list all my companies using the Inform Direct MCP? +
Use list_companies to retrieve a full manifest of every company in your account. This provides all necessary metadata, including their unique numbers and public URLs.
Does the Inform Direct MCP handle filing deadlines for multiple companies? +
Yes, you can query get_filing_status to check deadlines across an entire group of companies simultaneously, ensuring no compliance dates are missed.
What is the difference between `list_directors` and other tools? +
list_directors specifically pulls a comprehensive list of active or past directors linked to one company. This keeps your personnel data separate from filings or shareholder counts.
Can I use the Inform Direct MCP to add new companies? +
Yes, you can use add_company to programmatically enroll a new corporate entity into your managed portfolio for tracking purposes.
How do I use the `list_shareholders` tool to view company ownership details? +
The list_shareholders tool pulls a list of all registered shareholders for a specified company. It provides key data like shareholder names, associated addresses, and stake percentages. This is essential for understanding current ownership structures.
What should I do if the `check_informdirect_status` tool reports an API connectivity error? +
An error usually means the connection failed or the credentials are wrong. First, verify your API Key in the Inform Direct dashboard to ensure it hasn't expired. If the key is current, try re-authenticating your AI client.
If I only know the company number, how do I use `get_company` to get a full summary? +
get_company requires the unique Company Number or name as input. It immediately returns a comprehensive snapshot of the company's core details, including registration date and operational status. This is fast and highly specific.
How can I use the `list_filings` tool to review past corporate actions? +
The list_filings tool provides a chronological record of all submitted company documents, including minutes and annual returns. You get an auditable trail that lets you see exactly what was filed and when.

Yes. Use the add_company tool with the Companies House registration number and the company will be linked to your Inform Direct account instantly.
How do I check a company's filing deadlines? +
Use the get_filing_status tool with the company number to see all upcoming deadlines for confirmation statements and annual accounts.
Can I view directors and shareholders? +
