B2BHint MCP: global company and officer lookups

Run B2BHint company checks from your AI app

1. 1Click Connect B2BHint free and paste an API key from your B2BHint account.
2. 2All seven tools start on. Keep the company tools, and switch off `search_officers` and `get_officer` if your team doesn't need data about people.
3. 3Add ContextGate to your AI app as a connector or MCP server. The steps for each app are on the Works with page.
4. 4Ask your AI app to find a company in B2BHint's registry data and list its officers, then open Activity to see the calls.

Company checks across registries

• Search companies by name with `search_companies`, then open a profile by country and registry number.
• Resolve up to 25 messy company names or numbers to registry records in one call with `resolve_companies`.
• Look up a company's officers and directors.
• List every jurisdiction B2BHint covers with `list_countries`.

B2BHint says its MCP server requires a paid API key, and most lookups count against your B2BHint API quota.

Personal data about officers

• A policy can hide officers' personal details in results.
• Activity records each lookup, which helps when you need to show what was checked and when.
• Switch off any B2BHint tool; it's hidden and refused if called.
