Headless corporate intelligence via MCP Server

The `search_french_companies` tool lets you query the French corporate registry directly from your shell. You can pipe the JSON output of this tool into grep, jq, or local files. This setup is built for terminal speed. You run one command to find a company, extract its SIREN, and feed it to other local scripts.

Scripted compliance audits in your terminal

The `search_ultimate_beneficial_owners` tool identifies the ultimate beneficial owners of any French entity. Run this during CI/CD builds to vet new partners. Combine it with `search_company_officers` to screen directors against sanction lists. The entire check runs headlessly in seconds.

Monitor French regulatory filings on a cron job

The `list_bodacc_publications` tool tracks official corporate announcements and insolvency filings. Set it up to run daily and dump alerts into your terminal. The tool uses `check_api_health` to verify connection status before starting. This ensures your automated scripts do not fail silently.
