Limitguard Lead Verification MCP server

Limitguard MCP Server

Check Dutch and Belgian companies, sales leads and crypto wallets before you deal with them, over the Model Context Protocol: the KVK (Netherlands) and KBO (Belgium) registers, EU VAT (VIES), the OFAC, EU and UN sanctions lists and wallet risk on Base and Solana, with the source and date of every answer.

Server URL: https://api.limitguard.ai/mcp Transport: Streamable HTTP (POST) Auth: API key (Bearer), plus an x402 micropayment per call on the free and sandbox tiers

What it is: Limitguard is a lead validation service for lead generation agencies, B2B marketing and sales teams: it checks the company behind each lead against official business registers (full coverage in the Netherlands and Belgium), EU VAT and sanctions lists, with website age in the company check, and returns proceed, review or block with the source on every line. Developers and AI agents can use its HTTP API, MCP server and A2A service, hosted in the EU.

Start here: On MCP a paid tool takes an x402 payment per call, or debits prepaid credit (a paid key, or a funded workspace); wallet_sanctions_preview, sanctions_preview and get_trust_score are free; the free sandbox key returns mock data on the REST API only, not on MCP. Paid by x402: Lead Verify $0.10 per lead and agent check $0.005 per wallet; entity check and KYB $0.29 and risk score $0.25 fresh, $0.11 cached ($0.25 KYB) when available; report $0.55; sanctions and wallet screens $0.005; other routes at the account price. API keys, the dashboard and the Claude connector pay the account prices: Lead Verify $0.27 per lead and agent check $0.75 per wallet; $0.11-1.85 per call; entity and risk checks $0.88-1.05 fresh ($1.50 KYB), $0.11 cached ($0.25 KYB) when available.

Features

Lead verify for Dutch and Belgian sales leads: is it a real, active company? A verdict, a 0-100 lead score and one action per flag ($0.27 with an API key, $0.10 with x402).
Company check against the KVK and KBO registers, EU VAT (VIES), the domain and the IBAN, with a 0-100 score and a recommendation.
Sanctions screen of company and person names against the OFAC, EU and UN lists, with a free yes/no preview.
Crypto wallet screen on Base and Solana: OFAC address match, balances, wallet age, recent activity and risk rules with advice ($0.11 with an API key, $0.005 with x402).
Free wallet sanctions check: a yes/no against the OFAC list.
AI agent wallet check before your agent pays: sanctions, balance, ERC-8004 identity and public reputation ($0.75 with an API key, $0.005 with x402).
Pay per call in USDC on Base or Solana with x402, or with an API key and prepaid credit. A check that fails is not charged.
MCP, REST and A2A, and agents can pay inside A2A with x402.
Sources on every answer, with the date each one was read. Hosted in the EU.

Tools

tools/list is public: connect and read it without any credential. These are the names it returns, and the names tools/call accepts:

Tool	Description	Inputs
`check_entity`	Company check on a business: sanctions screening and country risk, the Dutch KVK register for an NL company, and the website domain when you send it. Returns trust_score (0-100, 100 = best), trust_level (high means low risk), cluster, recommendation, confidence, top_factors and sources_checked.	`entity_name` (required), `country` (required), `kvk_number`, `domain`
`get_trust_score`	Look up your own most recent trust score for an entity you checked before, from your stored checks: score, level, when, which product, trend and how many checks are on record. Runs no new check and calls no data source. Free ($0).	`entity_id` (required)
`verify_wallet`	Screen a wallet: OFAC SDN address match, on-chain signals (contract check, native and USDC balance, transaction count, first seen on Base) and named risk rules with up to 3 advice items. On Base, also reports any ERC-8004 agent the wallet owns and its open on-chain reputation as descriptive signals, never scored. $0.11. Supports EVM and Solana addresses.	`wallet_address` (required), `chain_id`
`get_risk_score`	Quick risk score from sanctions screening and country risk only, without the register or domain lookups of check_entity. Returns risk_score (0-100, 100 = riskiest), risk_level (high means high risk, the reverse of check_entity's trust_level), sanctions_match and fatf_status; no recommendation or factors.	`entity_name` (required), `country` (required)
`get_compliance_report`	Per-entity report built from one real check: registry identity, sanctions and PEP screens, domain signals, risk score with the rules that fired, correlations, every finding as a ranked action, a per-source status table (ok / unavailable / error) and a report hash.	`entity_name`, `country`, `kvk_number`, `cbe_number`, `vat_number`, `domain`, `iban`, `wallet_address`, `wallet_chain`, `check_id`
`sanctions_preview`	Free yes/no sanctions preview against the local OFAC SDN, EU and UN lists. Returns possible_match, lists_checked, list_dates and list_note only, never an entry. 10 per caller per UTC day.

Pricing

A paid tool call is debited from your API key's prepaid balance at the account price, or paid per call with an x402 micropayment (USDC on Base or Solana) at the agent price in Agent prices (x402). The tools with their own /v1/mcp/* path are priced below at the account price; the other tools are priced at the REST endpoint they call, in Full x402 API.

Endpoint	Account price
Entity Check (`/v1/mcp/check-entity`)	$1.05
Risk Score (`/v1/mcp/risk-score`)	$0.90
Check Agent (`/v1/mcp/check-agent`)	$0.00: hidden placeholder, not in `tools/list`; returns placeholder data
Trust Score (`/v1/mcp/trust-score`)	$0.00, free (your own stored score)
Verify Wallet (`/v1/mcp/verify-wallet`)	$0.11

Authentication

Two things gate a tools/call, in this order:

An API key, as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Without one every call comes back Authentication required. Provide API key via Authorization: Bearer <lg_live_...> header. Get a free one (no payment, no card):
```
curl -X POST https://api.limitguard.ai/v1/keys/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "[email protected]"}'
```
That returns a free-tier key, which is the key the Quick Start configs below expect. Asking for "tier": "sandbox" instead returns a key that answers with mock data; see the next point before you use one here.
Payment, on the free and sandbox tiers only. Send the x402 proof as PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (x402 v2) or X-PAYMENT (v1), alongside the Bearer key. A key with a prepaid balance (indie and up) is debited per call instead and needs no per-call payment. API keys have no subscription; see API keys and prepaid balance.

A sandbox key does not lift the payment requirement on this transport: it owes x402 per call exactly as a free key does, and it answers with mock data rather than a real check. Paying for one over MCP spends real USDC on a mock answer. Where a sandbox key is worth having is the REST mirrors under /v1/mcp/* (sent as X-API-Key, not Bearer), which serve the mock response before the payment check: a way to exercise the request and response shapes, not a cheap source of real checks.

Agent prices (x402)

An x402 payment pays the agent price: REST, A2A with x402, and MCP pay-per-call on /mcp. An API key, the dashboard and the Claude connector pay the account price, from prepaid credit. A route not listed here costs its account price with x402 too.

The official x402 SDKs refuse a payment above one dollar by default (maxAmountPerPayment). That default covers every agent price. Raise it only for the deep-check enhanced and credit tiers and for the /v1/keys/upgrade/* and /v1/keys/topup/* purchases.

Endpoint	Agent price (x402)	Account price
`POST /v1/entity/check`	$0.29 fresh, $0.11 cached	$1.05 fresh, $0.11 cached
`POST /v1/mcp/check-entity`	$0.29	$1.05
`POST /v1/risk/score`	$0.25 fresh, $0.11 cached	$0.90 fresh, $0.11 cached
`POST /v1/mcp/risk-score`	$0.25	$0.90
`POST /v1/kyb/check`	$0.29 fresh, $0.25 cached	$1.50 fresh, $0.25 cached
`POST /v1/reports/entity`	$0.55	$1.85
`POST /v1/leads/verify`	$0.10	$0.27
`POST /v1/agent/check`	$0.005	$0.75
`POST /v1/mcp/verify-wallet`	$0.005	$0.11
`POST /v1/sanctions/screen`	$0.005	$0.11

Full x402 API (direct HTTP)

The tools above are what the MCP server exposes over the Model Context Protocol. Clients that integrate directly over HTTP, instead of through an MCP client, can reach every x402-priced endpoint on https://api.limitguard.ai: the REST endpoints below, plus the MCP tools' own /v1/mcp/* paths. All of them are published in /.well-known/x402.json; /.well-known/mcp.json lists only the tools above.

Most of the REST endpoints are capabilities the MCP tools do not expose, but two run the same engine over plain HTTP: /v1/entity/check behind check_entity (the MCP tool takes the entity name, country, KVK number and domain only, so no IBAN or VAT), and /v1/risk/score behind get_risk_score, at the same price.

Payment is per call throughout: USDC on Base or Solana, at the agent price in Agent prices (x402). The Price columns below are the account prices an API key pays. The data endpoints below need no API key at all. The /v1/keys/upgrade/* endpoints also take payment without one, but they act on an API key you already hold; see API keys and prepaid balance.

Lead and company checks

Endpoint	Method	Price	Description
`/v1/leads/verify`	POST	$0.27	Lead verify for one NL or BE sales lead: is it a real, active company? Checks the KVK or KBO register and cross-checks what the lead holds: VAT with VIES, mail server and disposable domain, IBAN country and bank (not the holder), and the company name against the OFAC, EU and UN sanctions lists. Returns a verdict, a 0-100 lead score and flags, each with one action. An input not given is not checked.
`/v1/agent/check`	POST	$0.75	Agent wallet check in one call: screens an EVM wallet against the OFAC SDN digital-currency address list, reads its Base USDC and ETH balance, looks up its ERC-8004 identity registration (and, given an agent id, that agent's owner and payment wallet) and lists open ERC-8004 feedback, which is not scored. Returns one verdict and each part's status; a part that could not be read says so.
`/v1/sanctions/screen`	POST	$0.11	Sanctions screen of a company or person name against the OFAC SDN, EU and UN sanctions lists, held locally and refreshed daily. Returns each matched entry: list, entry id, matched name, programmes, countries, listing date and match score. Exact normalised or word-order-insensitive name match only; a name match is not a determination.
`/v1/entity/check`	POST	$1.05	Full entity trust check across multiple verification layers: KVK/CBE registry, OpenSanctions, country risk (CPI/FATF), domain WHOIS, IBAN validation and EU VAT/VIES. Returns trust score 0-100 with cluster and recommendation.
`/v1/risk/score`	POST	$0.90	Quick risk score (0-100) for entity name + country. Lightweight check without full data source scan.
`/v1/entity/deep-check`	POST	$0.88	Extended screening in two tiers. fresh ($0.88): PEP and relative/close-associate matches from OpenSanctions, plus a Dutch insolvency register screen (NL only). enhanced ($1.71): the same plus adverse media screening. If a tier's source cannot be reached the call returns 503 and is not charged.
`/v1/reports/entity`	POST	$1.85	Per-entity report built from one real check's signals: identity, sanctions and PEP screening, domain signals, trust score (risk.trust_score, 0-100, 100 = best), correlations with the caller's earlier reports, sources and an evidence hash. A source that did not answer is shown unavailable, never clean.

Reputation management

Endpoint	Method	Price	Description
`/v1/reputation/score`	POST	$0.90	Reputation scoring with linear trust decay: after its first week a score loses 2-5 points a week by risk cluster (none for a sanctions-flagged entity), plus a bonus of up to 5 points for repeat verifications.
`/v1/reputation/history/{id}`	GET	$0.11	Historical reputation trend data. Returns the trust score timeline with the decay applied at each point and an overall trend.

Wallet services

Endpoint	Method	Price	Description
`/v1/wallet/balance`	GET	$0.11	ERC-8004 agent wallet balance check. Returns the on-chain USDC balance (Base mainnet) for a registered ERC-8004 agent wallet.

Regulatory compliance

Endpoint	Method	Price	Description
`/v1/kyb/check`	POST	$1.50	Know Your Business verification: company registration, sanctions screening, VAT/VIES, and domain analysis in one call.
`/v1/compliance/alerts`	GET	$0.11	Daily changes to the OFAC, EU and UN sanctions lists, plus alerts when an entity or wallet this key checked is listed. Poll this route; alerts about entities or wallets this key checked are also sent to a webhook registered for sanctions.match.new (POST /v1/webhooks). Filter by jurisdiction and severity.
`/v1/compliance/readiness/{id}`	GET	$0.11	EU AI Act readiness self-assessment for one AI system. Send the system_type and the checklist items you have completed (completed_items); returns the EU AI Act risk level for that system type, a readiness score and the open gaps. entity_id is your label: nothing is looked up about it.

MCP tool paths (direct HTTP)

The MCP tools that mirror a REST check are also reachable over plain HTTP at their own x402-priced /v1/mcp/* paths, with the same capabilities and prices as the Tools table above, for clients that pay per call without opening an MCP session. The other tools call one of the REST endpoints above directly.

Endpoint	Method	Price	MCP tool
`/v1/mcp/check-entity`	POST	$1.05	`check_entity`
`/v1/mcp/check-agent`	POST	$0.00	`check_agent`
`/v1/mcp/trust-score`	POST	$0.00	`get_trust_score`
`/v1/mcp/verify-wallet`	POST	$0.11	`verify_wallet`
`/v1/mcp/risk-score`	POST	$0.90	`get_risk_score`

API keys and prepaid balance

Limitguard accepts two forms of payment: x402 per call, or an API key with a prepaid balance that each priced call is debited from. API keys and x402 have no subscription (the Limitguard dashboard also has optional monthly plans, paid in euros). Paying per call needs no API key on the data endpoints above or the /v1/keys/upgrade/* paths. The MCP transport always wants one: it takes Authorization: Bearer on every tools/call, and its /v1/mcp/* mirrors take X-API-Key.

A base key is free and self-service: POST /v1/keys/create with an email address, no payment and no existing key needed. It identifies you and tracks your usage; it does not pay for calls. A free-tier key holds no balance and still owes x402 on every paid endpoint, on REST exactly as on MCP. The monthly_limit it reports is a ceiling on how many calls it may make, not an allowance of free ones. A sandbox key is also free and returns mock data, never a real check. Over MCP it owes x402 like any other free key, so it earns its keep only against the REST mirrors.

The endpoints below take an x402 payment, credit the same amount 1:1 to the prepaid balance of a key you already hold, and set its tier label. Each priced call is then debited from that balance at the prices above, with no per-call x402 payment. When the balance is too low for a call, that call answers 402 with an x402 quote and the top-up path, and POST /v1/keys/topup/{usd} adds any whole-dollar amount from $5. On every tier monthly_limit is an abuse limit, not an allowance of included calls.

Endpoint	Method	Price	Tier label	`monthly_limit` (abuse limit)
`/v1/keys/upgrade/indie`	POST	$29	Indie	1,000 calls/mo
`/v1/keys/upgrade/starter`	POST	$99	Starter	10,000 calls/mo
`/v1/keys/upgrade/growth`	POST	$299	Growth	50,000 calls/mo
`/v1/keys/upgrade/pro`	POST	$999	Pro	250,000 calls/mo

Prices and descriptions above are generated from the service and were last checked against the live x402 manifest on 2026-10-06. The manifest is the source of truth: fetch it if you need the current schema for any endpoint.

Quick Start

Claude (Desktop and claude.ai)

This is a remote server, so it is added as a custom connector, not in claude_desktop_config.json (that file is for local servers only):

Open Customize > Connectors, then + Add > Add custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan an owner adds it under Organization settings > Connectors.
URL: https://api.limitguard.ai/mcp
Under Request headers, add Authorization with the value Bearer YOUR_LIMITGUARD_KEY.

Cursor

Add to MCP settings:

{
  "limitguard": {
    "type": "url",
    "url": "https://api.limitguard.ai/mcp",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_LIMITGUARD_KEY"
    }
  }
}

Smithery

npx -y @smithery/cli install team-mehs/limitguard

Any MCP Client

Connect to https://api.limitguard.ai/mcp using Streamable HTTP transport (POST), sending Authorization: Bearer <key> on every tools/call.

Run locally (stdio)

For a client that only runs local servers, this repository also ships a stdio server with the same tools. Each tool calls the Limitguard REST API with your key, so a paid call is debited from the key's prepaid balance; paying per call with x402 needs the remote server above.

uvx --from git+https://github.com/jwconsultancyteam/limitguard-mcp limitguard-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "limitguard": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/jwconsultancyteam/limitguard-mcp", "limitguard-mcp"],
      "env": { "LIMITGUARD_API_KEY": "YOUR_LIMITGUARD_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Or in a container: docker build -t limitguard-mcp . then docker run -i --rm -e LIMITGUARD_API_KEY limitguard-mcp.

Agent skills

Three Agent Skills teach an agent when to call which tool, how to spend the user's balance safely, and how to read each answer. They work with any agent that reads SKILL.md files.

Skill	For
`verifying-sales-leads`	Dutch and Belgian leads and companies: register, VAT, mail server, IBAN, name sanctions
`screening-crypto-wallets`	Wallets and counterparty agents: OFAC SDN address list, on-chain risk, ERC-8004 identity
`paying-limitguard-with-x402`	Agents without an API key: pay per call with x402 over HTTP or A2A, with a price ceiling

Claude Code (all three skills plus the MCP server, OAuth sign-in):

/plugin marketplace add jwconsultancyteam/limitguard-mcp
/plugin install limitguard@limitguard

Other agents: npx skills add jwconsultancyteam/limitguard-mcp, or copy a folder under skills/ into the agent's skills directory. Each folder works on its own.

Each skill's references/tools.md is generated from the served server card; do not edit it by hand.

Discovery Endpoints

Endpoint	URL
MCP server card	/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
MCP Tools	/.well-known/mcp.json
x402 Pricing	/.well-known/x402.json
Health	/health

The service publishes two tool cards, and they do not fully agree. Both list the same tools, taking the same required arguments, so a tools/call written against either one works, but the descriptions and the argument wording differ between them. The Tools table above and this repository's server.json are generated from the server card, which is the one to read when the two disagree. Reconciling them is the service's to fix.

Use Cases

Lead validation: check the company behind each lead (KVK or KBO register, EU VAT via VIES, sanctions lists and email domain) before it reaches a client, and get a verdict, a 0-100 lead score and flags (verify_lead).
Company checks: developers and AI agents verify a business entity before a deal or a payment (check_entity, get_risk_score), or build a per-entity report with every source's status (get_compliance_report).
Sanctions screening: screen a company or person name against the OFAC, EU and UN lists (sanctions_preview, sanctions_screen).
Agent-to-agent checks: check a counterparty agent's wallet and ERC-8004 identity before working with it (check_agent_wallet).
Wallet screening: screen a wallet address before an on-chain payment (verify_wallet).

FAQ

What is Limitguard? Limitguard checks the company, sales lead or crypto wallet behind a deal before you call, sign or pay. It reads official sources (the KVK and KBO business registers, EU VAT through VIES, the OFAC, EU and UN sanctions lists and public blockchain data for wallets) and answers with what it found, where and when.

How is it priced? Per check, with no subscription for API keys or x402. An API key pays the account price: lead verify $0.27, company check $1.05 ($0.11 from cache when available), risk score $0.90, KYB check $1.50, sanctions screen $0.11, wallet screen $0.11, agent wallet check $0.75, company report $1.85. An x402 payment pays the lower agent price: lead verify $0.10, company check $0.29, risk score $0.25, KYB check $0.29, sanctions screen $0.005, wallet screen $0.005, agent wallet check $0.005, company report $0.55 (see Agent prices (x402)). Free: the name sanctions preview, the wallet sanctions check and your own stored trust score. A check that fails is not charged. Live prices: /.well-known/x402.json.

How do I connect it to Claude, Cursor or another MCP client? Add https://api.limitguard.ai/mcp with your API key in the header Authorization: Bearer lg_live_... (a free key: see Authentication). In Claude you can instead add https://api.limitguard.ai/mcp-oauth as a custom connector and sign in with your Limitguard account; paid checks are then taken from your workspace credit.

Can an AI agent pay without an account? Yes. Over REST or A2A an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with the price. The agent signs a USDC payment on Base or Solana (x402), sends it with the call and gets the answer with a receipt. No account or API key is needed.

Which countries and chains does it cover? Full business register coverage for the Netherlands (KVK) and Belgium (KBO), EU VAT numbers through VIES, worldwide sanctions lists (OFAC, EU and UN) and crypto wallets on Base and Solana.
