Singapore Company Check

Overview

One question: is this Singapore entity real, active and safe to deal with? Give a UEN (Unique Entity Number) and get a verdict:

Every verdict comes with the reasons behind it, and each reason links to its evidence. Sources: the ACRA register, Government Gazette notices, OFAC / UK / EU sanctions lists and GeBIZ awards. See Data & coverage for what each contains and how fresh it is.

Connect

The MCP server uses Streamable HTTP at:

Cursor, VS Code and other clients

// Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{ "mcpServers": { "cura8": { "url": "https://company.cura8.ai/mcp" } } }

// VS Code: .vscode/mcp.json
{ "servers": { "cura8": { "type": "http", "url": "https://company.cura8.ai/mcp" } } }

Clients that only launch local (stdio) servers can use the mcp-remote bridge:

{ "mcpServers": { "cura8": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://company.cura8.ai/mcp"] } } }

MCP tools

search_companies

Find Singapore entities by name or UEN. Returns up to 10 candidates with UEN and register status, including closed entities and former names. Live entities rank first.

Each result has uen, name, status, status_category, entity_type and match: uen, exact, former_name or fuzzy.

check_company

The full check for one entity. Returns the check response.

Both tools are read-only and declare output schemas, so clients can validate structuredContent.

HTTP API

Base URL https://company.cura8.ai. JSON responses, CORS enabled. Machine-readable spec: openapi.json (OpenAPI 3.1).

curl https://company.cura8.ai/v1/sg/companies/201318724N/check
curl "https://company.cura8.ai/v1/sg/companies/search?q=wefic"

Errors

A well-formed UEN that isn't in the register is not an error: it returns 200 with verdict fail and reason NOT_FOUND.

Response

status_category

ACRA uses about 25 status strings. They are normalised to: live, distressed (receivership or judicial management), closing (e.g. gazetted to be struck off), in_liquidation, struck_off, dissolved, terminated, converted (amalgamated or transferred) and other.

Reason codes

Gazette notices older than 24 months don't affect the verdict. New codes may be added; treat unknown codes by their severity.

Guidance for agents

• Name first, then UEN. If you only have a name, call search_companies, confirm the right entity (check the status and former names), then call check_company.
• Explain with evidence. Quote the reason messages and link the official notices in evidence.url.
• Review is not fail. A members' voluntary liquidation can be a solvent closure. Surface review results to a person rather than deciding alone.
• Sanctions name matches need a human. Only a registration-number match is conclusive.
• Mind the dates. Say how current the answer is using sources[].as_of.
• Keep attribution and the disclaimer with anything you show or store.

Limits & versions

• Beta: free, with fair-use rate limits. Paid plans (x402 per check, API keys) will be announced before the beta ends.
• Versioning: /v1 changes are additive: new fields and reason codes, never removed or renamed ones. Breaking changes get a new version.
• Coverage: Singapore only for now. Known gaps are listed on Data & coverage.
