ENTIA vs OpenCorporates for AI agents
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. OpenCorporates is a broad company-data aggregator queried over a REST API. ENTIA is MCP-native and attaches the source to every field in a single call, so an AI agent gets identity and provenance together without stitching endpoints or losing the citation.
What an AI agent sees today vs. ENTIA
Today (OpenCorporates)
Most answers an agent gets today for “OpenCorporates MCP alternative” come from OpenCorporates — 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

ENTIA vs OpenCorporates for AI agents

Isn't OpenCorporates bigger?
It has wide raw coverage, but an agent still has to call REST, map fields and source them itself. ENTIA returns a resolved entity plus per-field provenance in one MCP call — depth and attribution, not just breadth.
Is there an MCP endpoint for OpenCorporates?
Not natively. ENTIA is designed as an MCP server for agents from the ground up — point any MCP client at the endpoint and authenticate.
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.
