Counterparty Check MCP
An MCP server that allows AI agents to screen payees before making payments. It checks against US sanctions lists, detects lookalike domains, validates bank and wallet details, and identifies invoice fraud patterns. The server provides tools to check counterparty risk, screen sanctions, check API balance, and verify receipts, returning a verdict of proceed, review, or block.
