Freshfilings

MCP server for FreshFilings — gives AI agents live access to U.S. business entity data from official state filing databases.

What it does

The U.S. has no central business registry. Each state runs its own. FreshFilings aggregates them. This MCP server exposes that data as tools any AI agent can call directly.

Current coverage: New York, Florida, Colorado (3M+ entities)
