How can AI check if a company is real?
ENTIA is an MCP-native server that gives AI agents verified company data over the Model Context Protocol. Every record is anchored to an official register (BORME, Companies House, SIRENE INSEE, the Estonian Business Register, GLEIF LEI and VIES VAT), not scraped. An agent connects to https://mcp.entia.systems/mcp and calls one of 12 tools to resolve a company and its provenance. Coverage today: 11,330,392 entities across 10 European countries. The tell for a real company is an active record at the official register with matching identifiers — not a slick website. An agent checks by resolving the entity against the register and reading its status, rather than trusting the domain it was handed.
What an AI agent sees today vs. ENTIA
Today (definitional)
Most answers an agent gets today for “AI check if company is real” come from definitional — useful, but the data is often scraped or aggregated, the source of each field is not attached, and there is no single MCP call that returns identity plus provenance together.
With ENTIA
ENTIA returns the same answer anchored to the official register, with a sameAs/citation on every claim, so the agent (and its operator) can verify the chain end-to-end. One call, get_full_dossier, returns up to 349 fields from 4 sources; fields that cannot be corroborated are returned as null, never invented.
The tools an agent can call
entity_lookup— resolve a company by name, registration number, VAT or domainverify_vat— validate an EU VAT number against VIESget_full_dossier— one call returns up to 349 fields from 4 sourcesrun_risk_audit— structured risk signal for a resolved entityget_competitors— entities in the same sector and zonesearch_entities— search the corpus by sector, city and filters

How can AI check if a company is real?
ENTIA is an MCP-native server that gives AI agents verified company data over the Model Context Protocol.

The tell for a real company is an active record at the official register with matching identifiers — not a slick website. An agent checks by resolving the entity against the register and reading its status, rather than trusting the domain it was handed.
What signals that a company is not real?
No matching registry record, a struck-off or dormant status, or identifiers that do not corroborate. ENTIA returns the register status and null on anything it cannot confirm, so the gaps are visible.
How does an AI agent connect?
It is a remote MCP server — point any MCP client at https://mcp.entia.systems/mcp and authenticate with an X-ENTIA-Key. No install, no infrastructure. Setup: https://entia.systems/mcp-setup.
What does it cost?
There is a free TRACE tier for preview and basic tools; deeper tools (full dossier, risk audit) are on paid self-serve tiers. Pricing is public and machine-readable at https://entia.systems/.well-known/ai-pricing.json.
How much coverage does it have?
11,330,392 verified entities across 10 European countries, 16 official sources, and 40,345,410 registry acts, as reported live by get_platform_stats.
