Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sanctionwise": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "sanctionwise"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add sanctionwise -- npx -y sanctionwise

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sanctionwise": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "sanctionwise"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{

Common questions

Is Sanctionwise safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

sanctionwise

Verified UK sanctions screening for AI agents — official FCDO UK Sanctions List, not guesses.

*Verified, trustworthy data tools for AI agents. "Qiniso" means "truth" in Zulu.*

Website · npm · MCP Registry

Ask an LLM "is this person on the UK sanctions list?" and it will answer from stale, fuzzy memory. Designations change constantly and are specific — that's data, not something to recall. sanctionwise screens a name against the official FCDO UK Sanctions List and returns possible matches with their real designation details, or a clean "no match".

⚠️ Read this — what this is and is NOT

Indicative name-match only. A match is a POSSIBLE match that a human must verify against the official entry (names are widely shared and transliterated). It is not confirmation that the party you mean is the sanctioned party.
A "no match" is NOT a clearance. It covers the UK (FCDO) list only, screens the name string you pass (not DOBs or aliases you didn't supply), and reflects the dataset's report date, not real-time.
Not advice. Not legal, compliance, KYC/AML or sanctions advice, and not a substitute for a regulated sanctions-screening process. Every response includes this disclaimer.

Install

{ "mcpServers": { "sanctionwise": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "sanctionwise"] } } }

The official UK Sanctions List data is bundled in the package (works offline, out of the box). The tool also auto-refreshes from a weekly-updated GitHub Release on startup — cached locally, no key, no token, no manual step — so it stays current on its own. Every response reports the dataset's report date.

Use it as a library

npm i sanctionwise

import { screenName, getSanctionsEntry } from "sanctionwise";

screenName("Vladimir Putin"); // { matchCount: 3, results: [{ id: "RUS0251", type: "Individual", // primaryName: "Vladimir Vladimirovich PUTIN", matchType: "exact", // regimes: ["The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019"], sanctions: "Asset freeze|…" }], // disclaimer: "INDICATIVE NAME-MATCH SCREEN ONLY. …" }

screenName("Acme Quilting Supplies Ltd").matchCount; // 0 — no match (NOT a clearance) getSanctionsEntry("RUS0251"); // full official entry for a Unique ID

Matching folds accents and is case/punctuation-insensitive, and screens primary names and aliases.

Tools — 2

Tool	What it does
screen_name	Screen a person/company/vessel name → ranked POSSIBLE matches with official designation details
get_sanctions_entry	Full official entry for a Unique ID (names, aliases, regime, statement of reasons, …)

Data & auto-refresh

The data is the official FCDO UK Sanctions List (designated persons, entities and ships under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018), published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. scripts/build-data.mjs parses the official CSV into one record per target (all names/aliases grouped); the bundled build currently carries 6,200+ designated targets. A weekly GitHub Action (.github/workflows/refresh-data.yml) re-downloads the list and publishes it as a GitHub Release asset; the installed tool fetches that asset on startup (cached, offline-safe), so it self-updates with no npm token and no manual step. The bundled copy is the offline / first-run fallback.

What it is not

Not a compliance determination. Indicative screening to surface possible matches for human review — nothing more.
Not multi-list. UK (FCDO) list only — not the EU, US (OFAC), UN consolidated, or any other list.
Not real-time. Reflects the dataset's report date; check the live list for the current position.
Not advice, and not a regulated screening service.

Privacy

This tool runs locally on your machine and is built not to collect, store, or transmit your data — no analytics, no telemetry, no account. Screening runs locally; on startup it may download the latest public UK Sanctions List from a GitHub Release, but the names you screen are never transmitted. Full policy: https://qinisolabs.github.io/privacy.html.
