screen_names — Screen names against sanctions lists
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Use this when the user wants ofac search, sanctions screening, or batch ofac screening of 1 to 200 names with optional references, a type filter and a threshold from 70 to 100, plus a dated XLSX log. Matches use Latin transliterations and token similarity on SDN and Consolidated lists. Do not use for a legal determination, other government lists or ownership analysis.

Use this when the user wants an ofac check, ofac sdn list detail, or sanctions list check for a known positive uid. Reads both lists unless one is specified and returns aliases, programs, countries, truncated remarks and source dates. Do not use for identity confirmation, other government lists or ownership analysis.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http zovo-sanctions-screening-mcp https://ofac-screening.zovo.one/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add zovo-sanctions-screening-mcp --url https://ofac-screening.zovo.one/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable zovo-sanctions-screening-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zovo-sanctions-screening-mcp": {
      "url": "https://ofac-screening.zovo.one/mcp"
    }

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start zovo-sanctions-screening-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http zovo-sanctions-screening-mcp https://ofac-screening.zovo.one/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
