Quick start

1. Download the skill and drop it into your project
2. Connect the UK Due Diligence MCP server (instructions included)
3. Ask Claude to check any UK company by name or number — pick the risk profile that matches your use case

The problem

You are about to do business with a company and you need to know if it is real, active, and well run. That means checking Companies House for status and directors, the Disqualified Directors register, the Gazette for insolvency notices, and HMRC for VAT validity. Four separate systems, and most people skip three of them.

What this skill does

• Company profile, officers, and PSC chain from Companies House
• Filing compliance: accounts and confirmation statements overdue checks
• Director disqualification search across every active officer
• Gazette insolvency notices: winding-up, administration, CVL, strike-off
• HMRC VAT validation and Charity Commission cross-reference
• HM Land Registry corporate asset check (when relevant)
• Five swappable risk profiles (lender, journalist, acquirer, AML, defaults) — or write your own
• Weighted CLEAR / WATCH / FLAG verdict, traceable to the underlying register data
• Deterministic pipeline: three Python scripts turn raw register data into a structured markdown report
