  BizVerify is a business entity verification (KYB) API built for AI agents as much as for
  developers. It confirms business registrations, status, good standing and available public
  company details across supported US and international jurisdictions, through a REST API and a
  hosted MCP server that exposes the same capability as nine tools. The agent surface is the
  unusual part for a provider this size: alongside the OpenAPI it publishes an llms.txt, a proper
  RFC 9727 API catalog served as application/linkset+json, per-vendor tool manifests at
  /tools/openai.json and /tools/anthropic.json, and an open-source MCP client repository. Access is
  credit-based with a free-tier allowance, and the MCP server answers tools/list without
  credentials.

      Hosted MCP server over Streamable HTTP exposing nine tools — get_config,
      list_jurisdictions, verify_business, search_entities, check_job_status, get_entity,
      get_entity_history, get_account and purchase_credits. Discovery is public: tools/list answers
      without credentials. An open-source client repository is published separately.

  defects_found:
    empty_servers: >-
      The published OpenAPI declares `servers: []`. Nothing in the document says the API is served
      from https://api.bizverify.co, so it is not callable as published. The baseURL recorded here
      comes from the API catalog linkset and from the live host, not from the spec.
    no_schemas: >-
      21 operations and zero `components.schemas`. Request and response bodies are undescribed,
      which is the single largest gap in the contract and the highest-leverage thing to fix.
    user_agent_gate: >-
      https://api.bizverify.co/v1/openapi.json returns HTTP 403 to `Python-urllib/3.14` while
      returning 200 to curl, to an empty user-agent, and to `python-requests/2.32.3`. So the block
      is specific to urllib rather than to automated clients generally — narrower than it first
      appeared, but still enough to silently starve any harvester built on urllib, which would
      record nothing and understate the provider. Harvested here with curl.
  note: >-
    Built from the provider's own published artifacts, all fetched and measured. The MCP property
    is emitted because the server is hosted and answers tools/list unauthenticated — unlike a
    local-stdio install, which is described in prose only. Pricing is credit-based with a free
    tier per the MCP get_config tool, but no machine-readable rate card was found, so plans and
    rate limits are not asserted.
