Autohost Remote MCP Server

Since 2019, we’ve invested heavily in enabling AI-powered KYC verifications. Now, we’re further extending that value by connecting your enterprise risk management data to more places where you already work, whether that’s an LLM, or another agent platform.

You can access information and tools from Autohost wherever you use Claude or ChatGPT to do all sorts of things like:

  • Analyze verifications that require a manual review
  • Change verification statuses
  • Search verifications and reservations
  • Create and send new verification requests
  • Access Autohost documentation
  • And so much more!

Unlike locally hosted MCP servers, our Remote MCP Server is run by Autohost to ensure a secure, supported experience. As always, we’ve embraced privacy by design in building it, so you can rest easy knowing it features OAuth authentication and respects all your existing permission controls.

To further ensure your enterprise data stays secure while enabling powerful integrations, our server will soon integrate with additional trusted and thoughtfully curated AI partners that support remote MCP. Stay tuned for more.
