Shell Company Detector

Combines heuristics: 1 officer (often foreign), zero filed accounts, registered-agent address shared with N+ other companies, dormant status, no charges, no establishments. Outputs a 0-100 risk score with contributing signals.

When to use

AML / sanctions screening, tax-risk scoring, 'trade-based money laundering' investigations.

6. Aggregate signals

How to invoke

On any MCP client that supports prompts (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Goose, Zed):

1. Connect to https://openregistry.sophymarine.com/mcp.
2. Call prompts/list — you'll see shell_company_detector in the array.
3. Call prompts/get with {"name":"shell_company_detector","arguments":{…}}.
4. The server returns a pre-built message stream the model can execute directly.
