MCP for AML Screening: Sanctions and PEP Checks via AI Agents
Blog post from Didit
Compliance teams can enhance efficiency in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes using Didit's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows AI agents to perform screenings in natural language, reducing the need for manual analysis. This system checks names against over 1,300 watchlists, including sanctions, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), and adverse media lists, providing results in under two seconds at a cost of $0.20 per screening. Authentication is streamlined through OAuth 2.1 with Proof Key for Code Exchange, eliminating the need for API keys. The AI agent not only retrieves potential matches but also assesses their validity, distinguishing true matches from false positives, and drafts audit notes for compliance documentation. Ongoing monitoring re-evaluates subjects as lists update, ensuring continuous compliance for a nominal annual fee. Didit's solution, supported by significant funding and utilized by over 1,500 companies globally, offers 500 free checks per month, with an open-source server available for customization.
