Who it is for
Compliance officers screening names and managing AML cases.
Sanction Scanner
AML screening against sanctions, PEP and adverse media sources
Overview
What Sanction Scanner does
Sanction Scanner performs AML screening, and this connector runs it from a conversation instead of a separate console. Individuals and companies are screened against global sanctions lists and PEP databases, with the publisher putting the watchlist count above a thousand and fuzzy matching applied to names.
Adverse media search covers financial crime, terrorism, regulatory and other risk categories. Case management sits on the same surface, with memos added, risk levels set, cases assigned and ongoing monitoring enabled, while compliance reporting returns workload snapshots. An existing SanctionScanner account is required. Community tier, documentation published.
Tool surface
Credentials are required first, so thirty is the listing's count. Sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media search, case management, and compliance reporting are the four groupings described.
Availability
Where Sanction Scanner is listed
Sanction Scanner is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Sanction Scanner has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Sanction Scanner publishes 30 tools to Claude, deeper than 80.8% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Legal publishes 11, so this one runs 19 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 6th of 33 by tool count.
It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory.
Sanction Scanner publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
