Companies House FAQs

Question 1

Is my Companies House API key stored by this server?

Accepted Answer

No, the server is designed to be stateless and does not store your API keys. Keys are passed per-request, ensuring your credentials remain secure and are not persisted on the server.

Question 2

What is the Companies House tool?

Accepted Answer

This tool is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that facilitates AI agent interaction with the official UK Companies House API. It allows AI agents to search for companies, retrieve detailed profiles, and generate comprehensive due diligence reports.

Question 3

Is a Companies House API Key required to use this tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a 'Live' API Key from the official Companies House Developer Hub is a prerequisite. This key must be provided with each API request made through the tool.

Question 4

What type of company information can I access?

Accepted Answer

You can access detailed company profiles (status, address, type), lists of current and resigned officers, filing history, outstanding charges, insolvency proceedings, beneficial owners (PSC), and a consolidated due diligence report that aggregates all this data.

Question 5

How do I integrate this tool with my AI agent?

Accepted Answer

You configure your MCP client to connect to this server, which uses HTTP transport. Your Companies House API key is provided directly with each tool call (e.g., `generate_company_report`), allowing your agent to interact programmatically.
