Palavir Compliance MCP Server

Screen individuals and entities against three federal exclusion databases — LEIE (OIG healthcare exclusion list), OFAC SDN (Treasury sanctions), and SAM.gov (federal contractor exclusion) — from any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue) in a single tool call.

269,819 verified federal records, refreshed daily. Pricing starts at $0 (100 evaluations/month) and scales to $999/mo for enterprise KYC volume — 10-50x cheaper than Trulioo, Sayari, or Comply Advantage.

Pricing

| Tier | Price/mo | Requests/mo | Best for | |---|---|---|---| | Basic | $0 | 100 | Evaluation, hobbyist scripts, one-off lookups | | Starter | $29 | 1,000 | Solo founder, small consultancy, vendor onboarding | | Pro | $99 | 10,000 | KYC compliance team, AP / procurement, healthcare credentialing | | Ultra | $299 | 50,000 | Mid-market platform, multi-product KYC, scaled vendor risk | | Enterprise | $999 | 250,000 | KYC SaaS subprocessor, large lender, gov contractor |

Use cases

• KYC / vendor due diligence — screen counterparties before contracting
• Healthcare credentialing — check providers by NPI against LEIE
• AP / procurement — confirm vendors are not OFAC- or SAM-excluded before issuing PO
• Hire screening — verify employees against OFAC SDN
• Investor diligence — pre-deal screen on target company + officers + directors
• Compliance workflows — embed sanctions screening in attorney intake, contract review

Tools provided

| Tool | What it does | |---|---| | screen_entity | Screen one name (with optional NPI / state / DOB) across LEIE + OFAC + SAM. Returns risk_level plus match details. | | screen_batch | Screen up to 100 entities in a single call (counts as 1 against your request quota). | | get_api_info | Return database record counts and endpoint catalog. | | get_api_stats | Return current usage stats and last-refresh timestamps. | | health_check | Liveness check. |

Example

> screen this provider before I add them to my panel

screen_entity({ name: "<provider name>", npi: "<10-digit NPI>", state: "<2-letter state>" })

→ {
    "risk_level": "MATCH | POTENTIAL | CLEAR",
    "matches": [{
      "database": "LEIE | OFAC_SDN | SAM",
      "confidence": 0.0,
      "details": { ... }
    }]
  }

NPI matches in LEIE return confidence 1.0 (deterministic). Name-only matches use Jaccard similarity above a configurable threshold.

Rate limits

Two independent limits apply on every plan:

1. A monthly request quota set by your plan (e.g. 100/mo on Basic, 10,000/mo on Pro)
2. A per-minute rate limit (1/min on Basic, 5/min Starter, 30/min Pro, 100/min Ultra, 300/min Enterprise)

Either limit returns HTTP 429 when exceeded. screen_batch sends one HTTP request regardless of how many entities are in the batch.

Data freshness

| Database | Refresh cadence | Records | |---|---|---| | LEIE | Monthly (OIG publishes) | 83,256 | | OFAC SDN | Daily | 19,050 | | SAM.gov exclusion | Daily | 167,513 |

Why this beats DIY

Building OFAC + LEIE + SAM screening in-house typically takes 2-4 weeks of engineering (download parsing, name-normalization, fuzzy matching, daily refresh, rate-limit handling). The Starter tier at $29/mo pays for itself if it saves a single half-day of engineering time, and the Pro tier scales to 10,000 screens/mo for the price of a 1-hour consult.
