Florida Business Verify (Sunbiz records)

Registry Verify agent skill

Registry Verify lets an AI agent check a business against Florida's official corporate records before it pays, onboards, or signs with that business. The agent sends a business name and pays 0.10 USDC for the lookup over x402 on Base. There is no account to create and no API key.

This repository holds the agent skill that tells an agent when to use Registry Verify, how to pay for a lookup, and how to read the answer. It also has two short examples you can run from a terminal, and the settings for our MCP server.

What one lookup returns

You send a business name. You get back up to five candidate filings from the Florida Division of Corporations data, the data behind Sunbiz. Each filing has:

• the Florida document number, which anyone can check on Sunbiz
• the status Florida reports (active or inactive), the filing type and the filing date
• the principal city and ZIP, the registered agent, and the officers
• the home state from Florida's record, with a link to that state's own business search when the company was formed elsewhere
• whether this year's Florida annual report is filed, due or late, with the due date and the September date when Florida dissolves or revokes a filing still missing it
• its status history: when we first saw it in Florida's daily files and the last status change we recorded
• the Florida source file the record came from

The answer as a whole also says how current the data is, notes when a Florida filing and a filing formed in another state carry the same name, and, when you send home_state, says how many candidates were formed in that state.

A result is a candidate name match, not proof of who you are dealing with. The skill explains how to tell one strong match from several candidates, and what a no match does and does not mean.

Try it

See the price for free

The first request to the charge URL answers 402 Payment Required and costs nothing. Run examples/see_the_price.sh to decode that answer. It needs curl, base64 and python3.

sh examples/see_the_price.sh

It prints the network (eip155:8453, which is Base mainnet), the asset (USDC), the amount (100000, which is 0.10 USDC at six decimals), and the address that receives the payment.

Make a paid lookup

AgentCash is a wallet tool for agents that pays x402 requests from a USDC balance on Base. With a funded AgentCash wallet, this one command pays 0.10 USDC and prints the answer:

npx agentcash@latest fetch "https://myproceeds.xyz/api/pay/cmupojkok000bjz043ecdfmec/verify-florida-business?name=Publix%20Super%20Markets"

The same command is in examples/agentcash.sh, which takes the business name as an argument. This spends real money, so tell the person you work for before you run it.

Any other x402 version 2 client works too. Proceeds, the payment service that sells these lookups, lists compatible agent wallets at https://docs.myproceeds.xyz/agents/overview.md

The call

GET https://myproceeds.xyz/api/pay/cmupojkok000bjz043ecdfmec/verify-florida-business?name=<business name>

• name is required: the business name, URL encoded, 2 to 200 characters.
• limit is optional: how many candidate filings to return, 1 to 5. The default is 5.
• home_state is optional: a two letter United States state code, such as DE, when you already believe the company was formed in that state.

Call only this charge URL. No other Registry Verify address accepts payment.

The OpenAPI description of the call, with the answer schema, is at https://registryverify.com/openapi.json

Install the skill

The skill file is skills/registry-verify/SKILL.md. It is the same file the website serves at https://registryverify.com/skill.md.

• With the skills command line tool:

  npx skills add ai-interact/registry-verify-agent-skill
  

• In Claude Code, as a plugin from this repository. The plugin also connects the MCP server described below.

  /plugin marketplace add ai-interact/registry-verify-agent-skill
  /plugin install registry-verify@registry-verify
  

• By hand: copy the skills/registry-verify folder into your agent's skills folder, for example ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code.

Use it as an MCP server

https://registryverify.com/mcp is a free MCP server (Streamable HTTP, no sign in) with one tool, verify_florida_business. It checks the name, gives the date of the newest Florida file we hold, lists the legal names of up to three candidate filings while the hourly free preview lasts, and returns the charge URL for the full record. The full record costs 0.10 USDC, paid at that URL by your own x402 wallet, such as the AgentCash MCP server. Claude, Claude Code and Cursor have no wallet of their own, so without one the agent stops at the charge URL. The MCP server never takes a payment and never sees a wallet or a key.

• Claude Code:

  claude mcp add --transport http registry-verify https://registryverify.com/mcp
  

• Cursor: add this entry to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all your projects:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "registry-verify": {
        "url": "https://registryverify.com/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
  

• Claude: open Customize, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, and paste https://registryverify.com/mcp. Opening that address in a browser shows the same steps.

Limits

• Florida only. A search says nothing about other states.
• Search is by business name. EIN, address, and officer search are not available yet.
• The data comes from Florida's public daily and quarterly files, so a filing made today may not be in it yet. The answer says how new the data is.
• Not affiliated with the Florida Department of State.
