Trade-based money laundering (TBML) detection for compliance teams, AML investigators, and financial intelligence units — delivered as an MCP server that plugs directly into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI agent. This server orchestrates 14 data sources and runs five peer-reviewed forensic algorithms to identify over-invoicing, carousel fraud, phantom entities, FX layering, and sanctions-adjacent ownership chains. The output is structured evidence ready for FinCEN SAR (Form 111) filing under 31 CFR 1020.320.

TBML accounts for an estimated $500–$800 billion laundered annually through trade channels, yet most compliance programs rely on manual invoice review. This server automates the full forensic pipeline: UN COMTRADE bilateral trade queries, cross-registry counterparty verification across six jurisdictions, OFAC and OpenSanctions screening, and multi-currency FX arbitrage detection — all triggered by natural-language prompts to your AI agent, with no code required from the analyst.
