Scam Shield

MCP server

What our MCP server does

BrokerChooser’s MCP server provides a simple way for AI agents and applications to verify whether a financial entity, broker, or investment website is legitimate or potentially fraudulent.


  • Agents can check an entity by name or URL.

  • Results are powered by BrokerChooser’s aggregated scam database, which consolidates warnings and alerts from major financial regulators and official sources worldwide.

  • Developers can integrate this into applications to detect suspicious brokers, flag risks for end-users, and strengthen financial safety.

In short: it’s a plug-and-play financial scam check API that helps prevent fraud.
