## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 92/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - The endpoint enforces authorisation, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
  - The authorisation server supports Client ID Metadata Documents, the current MCP client-registration mechanism.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to verify streamable-http.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read it.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read them.

**Unverified: 6 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (7)

### `search_companies` (~128 tokens)

Search a national company register

Search an official national business register by company name or registration number. Returns name, registration number, status, legal form, industry (NACE), address, registration date, VAT flag and LEI. A 20-character LEI in query is resolved globally.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum results (default 10).
- `query` (string, required): Company name or registration number.

### `verify_identifier` (~126 tokens)

Verify a VAT, EORI or LEI number

Check a number at the official source: EU VAT via VIES, EORI via EU customs (EOS), LEI via GLEIF. Returns whether it is valid plus the registered name and address. valid=null means the official service could not confirm right now.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): ISO country code for a VAT number without prefix, e.g. DK.
- `number` (string, required): The number, e.g. DK22756214 (VAT), DK22756214 (EORI) or a 20-character LEI.
- `type` (string, required): Identifier type.

### `resolve_company` (~107 tokens)

Resolve a company to a golden record

Build one golden record for a company: resolves the LEI, validates VAT and EORI, unifies identifiers, adds parent companies and returns a stable id (COM-…) with an identity Trust Score 0–100 (not a credit rating).

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Country name or ISO code.
- `lei` (string): Known LEI, optional.
- `name` (string): Company name (if no registration number).
- `org_number` (string): National registration number.

### `get_ownership` (~97 tokens)

Ownership chain and UBO candidates

Return the control chain (ultimate parent → parent → company → subsidiaries) from GLEIF and national registers, with ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) candidates where the register publishes them.

Input parameters:

### `screen_sanctions` (~76 tokens)

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Company or person name to screen.

### `get_vat_rates` (~82 tokens)

Statutory VAT / GST rates

Standard and reduced VAT/GST rates for a country (225 countries and territories), optionally on a given date, with what each rate applies to.

### Is the GlobalEntity API MCP server safe to use?

GlobalEntity API scores 37 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the GlobalEntity API MCP server expose?

GlobalEntity API exposes 7 tools: search_companies, verify_identifier, resolve_company, get_ownership, check_insolvency, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 677 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the GlobalEntity API MCP server require authentication?

Yes. GlobalEntity API asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

### Is the GlobalEntity API MCP server still maintained?

GlobalEntity API is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
