What you get
Your assistant finds a company by name, enterprise number, VAT number or NACE code and summarises what you want to know.
Every fact from an act carries the numac number of its publication in the Belgian State Gazette, and every result links to the dossier on Checked.be.
When we have not yet read every act of a company, the server says how many we have. Your assistant then assumes no completeness that is not there.
- Who are the current directors of Colruyt Group?
- What has the Belgian State Gazette published about this company in the past year?
- How healthy is this supplier according to its latest annual accounts?
Six tools
Your assistant picks the tool that fits your question. All six are read-only: no tool changes any data.
search_companies
Finds companies by name, enterprise number, VAT number or NACE code, each hit with the link to its dossier.
get_company_profile
The profile of one company: identity, status, registered seat and activity, the key figures from the latest annual accounts, the health score, the credit verdict and the bankruptcy risk band.
get_company_acts
The acts from the Belgian State Gazette, newest first, with the facts of each act and, for every fact, the numac number of its publication.
get_company_officers
Directors and mandates, each marked current, last confirmed or ended, with permanent representatives, statutory auditors and the act each mandate comes from.
get_company_financials
The figures and ratios from the latest processed annual accounts, adapted to the company's sector.
get_extraction_status
How many acts the Belgian State Gazette holds for a company and how many we have read, so your assistant knows how complete the picture is.
Connect your assistant
Every connection needs an API key. This is how to get one.
In the examples, replace YOUR_KEY with your own key.
Claude Code
One command- Run this command in your terminal:
Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http checked https://checked.be/mcp --header "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" - By default the connection applies to the project you are working in. Add
--scope userto use Checked in all your projects.
Claude Desktop
Configuration file- In Claude Desktop, open the settings, choose Developer and then Edit Config. That opens the file
claude_desktop_config.json, which you can also open directly at this location:- macOS
~/Library/ Application Support/ Claude/ claude_desktop_config.json - Windows
%APPDATA%\Claude\ claude_desktop_config.json
- macOS
- Add the server under
mcpServers. If the file already lists servers, add only thecheckedblock.claude_desktop_config.json{ "mcpServers": { "checked": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://checked.be/mcp", "--header", "X-Api-Key:${CHECKED_API_KEY}" ], "env": { "CHECKED_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" } } } } - Quit Claude Desktop completely and start it again.
Cursor
mcp.json- Put this in
~/.cursor/mcp.jsonto use Checked in all your projects, or in.cursor/mcp.jsonin the folder of a single project. If the file already lists servers, add only thecheckedblock.mcp.json{ "mcpServers": { "checked": { "url": "https://checked.be/mcp", "headers": { "X-Api-Key": "YOUR_KEY" } } } }
Other assistants
HTTP with a headerAny assistant that supports a remote MCP server over HTTP with a header of its own needs these three facts:
- Address
https://checked.be/mcp- Transport
- Streamable HTTP
- Header
X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY
In Visual Studio Code it looks like this, in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"checked": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://checked.be/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-Api-Key": "YOUR_KEY"
}
}
}
}An API key
Keys are issued by hand today: mail enterprise@checked.be and say what you are building. There is no self-service key page yet.
The same key also opens the REST API. Keep it secret: never put it in a URL, a log file or a prompt.
Using the data
Search, AI input and AI training are allowed on one condition: whoever uses content from Checked.be names Checked.be as the source, with a link to the exact page the content came from.
Every result from the server carries the attribution Checked.be, geverifieerde Staatsblad-extractie and the link to the company's dossier on Checked.be. When you or your assistant pass the data on, name Checked.be as the source with that link.
Privacy
The server returns no dates of birth. Directors appear under their name as the Belgian State Gazette publishes it.
Pages about natural persons are excluded for AI: AI crawlers may not read them and no document for AI agents points to them. More in our privacy policy.
