name: Consolidated Screening List (CSL) — candidate MCP tools
description: >-
  A DERIVED candidate tool list. Neither the Bureau of Industry and Security nor the
  International Trade Administration publishes an MCP server for the Consolidated
  Screening List. Third-party MCP servers wrapping this data exist on npm
  (@pipeworx/mcp-sanctions-screening, @cyanheads/sanctions-screening-mcp-server) — they are
  NOT first-party and are not endorsed here. The tools below are what an MCP server over
  the real, published operations would expose; no endpoint is asserted because none exists.
deployment:
  mode: none
  endpoint: null
  install: null
  package: null
  auth: api-key
  verified: derived
  note: >-
    mode:none — nobody ships a server. Auth is recorded as api-key because the underlying
    API requires an ITA `subscription-key` (header or query); any server built from this
    candidate would have to carry one.
tools:
  - name: search_consolidated_screening_list

    An agent with no subscription key can still read the whole dataset: the bulk export is
    served anonymously and refreshed daily.
