  1. Querying Spain's Registro Mercantil: how to parse BORME data via MCP

    OpenRegistry has developed a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants to directly query Spain's official corporate registry data. This system bypasses legacy databases, providing real-time access to company filings, management changes, and insolvency information published in the Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil (BORME). The MCP server adheres to European Union regulations regarding ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) data, ensuring that only legally accessible public officer and historical filing information is provided.

  2. Germany’s Handelsregister via API: what the record actually shows

    OpenRegistry has developed a new API that provides direct access to Germany's Handelsregister, the official registry of companies. This API returns raw, unaggregated data from individual regional courts, preserving original German labels and details like company names, legal forms, registered addresses, and officer roles. While it offers granular information on corporate structure and filings, it does not include ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) data, which is maintained in a separate registry, nor does it automatically parse shareholder lists from PDF documents.

  3. France's Recherche d’entreprises: what the registry returns

    France's official business registry, Recherche d’entreprises, provides a centralized and accurate source of company information, identified by a unique SIREN number. This registry, accessible via the INPI pipeline, offers detailed fields including legal name, company number, legal structure, registration date, and activity codes. While it captures officer information and filings like capital increases, it has limitations regarding public access to beneficial ownership data and financial statements for smaller entities. AI

  4. Italy's Business Register via BRIS: fields returned

    Italy's Registro delle Imprese, managed by chambers of commerce, stores company filings, with a cross-border slice published via the EU Business Registers Interconnection System (BRIS). While BRIS provides harmonized data for EU lookups, it only exposes statutory fields and omits full details like beneficial ownership. Practitioners often resort to direct chamber extracts (visura camerale) for comprehensive information, as BRIS may lack full documents or sensitive data. AI

    IMPACT Provides access to harmonized Italian company data for compliance and business intelligence, though beneficial ownership information is restricted.
