Screen people and companies against sanction, PEP and adverse media lists in dilisense. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the dilisense connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For compliance teams that run their own KYC and AML screening with dilisense.
Screen a person against sanction, PEP and criminal lists. Give either all fields or name fields, not both.
Screen a company or other legal entity against sanction, PEP and criminal lists.
Search adverse media news for a person by category, such as fraud or corruption.
List the screening source lists with their ids and countries, and see which lists your key searches.
The login page asks for your dilisense API key.
Find the key in your dilisense dashboard (the free plan includes 100 calls a month, no card needed). The key is used only for your own calls. Not affiliated with or endorsed by dilisense.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dilisense": {
"url": "https://dilisense.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"dilisense": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://dilisense.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your dilisense API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by dilisense. The server calls the dilisense API with your own dilisense access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your dilisense API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your dilisense API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the dilisense API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in dilisense.
All 5 dilisense tools are marked read-only.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this dilisense server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run dilisense_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run dilisense_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run dilisense_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with dilisense_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
