Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open Settings and navigate to Integrations. 2. Find Enigma in the MCP directory and click Connect. 3. You'll be prompted to paste an API key — generate one from your Enigma dashboard under API Credentials. 4. Copy the key and paste it into Switchy's auth dialog, then click Authorize. 5. Switchy confirms the connection and lists the two tools now available: KYB Business Verification and Screen Against Sanctions and Watchlists. 6. Open any Space and type '@Enigma verify business name: Acme Corp' to test the KYB tool. 7. If the response includes entity details and registration status, the integration is working. 8. To invoke sanctions screening, use '@Enigma screen name: John Doe' — it returns match results from watchlists. 9. Both tools accept plain-text queries; no external IDs required.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Enigma are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs

@Enigma verify the business registration and legal status for Acme Industries LLC, registered in Delaware.
Based on Enigma's KYB dataset, Acme Industries LLC is an active Delaware corporation registered on March 15, 2019. The business is in good standing with the Delaware Secretary of State. Principal address: 123 Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19801. Registered agent: Corporation Service Company. The entity has no adverse filings or involuntary dissolutions on record. This verification draws from official state records as of the most recent dataset refresh.
This example shows KYB verification for onboarding or compliance workflows. The MCP queries Enigma's legal entity database, which aggregates state Secretary of State records. Results depend on data freshness—some states update weekly, others monthly. API key must have KYB access enabled.
@Enigma screen the entity 'Global Trade Partners Inc' and the individual 'John Smith, DOB 1975-06-12' against sanctions and watchlists.
Screening complete. Global Trade Partners Inc: No matches found on OFAC SDN, EU sanctions, or UN watchlists. John Smith (DOB 1975-06-12): One potential match on the OFAC SDN list—John Michael Smith, DOB 1975-06-10, sanctioned in 2018 for narcotics trafficking. Date-of-birth variance suggests possible false positive; manual review recommended. Both queries ran independently without requiring external resource IDs.
This demonstrates sanctions screening for AML/KYC compliance. The MCP checks multiple watchlists in one call. False positives are common with common names—always review flagged matches manually. Screening does not constitute legal advice; consult compliance counsel for risk decisions.
@Enigma verify TechStart Solutions Inc and screen its CEO Maria Gonzalez against watchlists, then summarize any compliance risks for our vendor approval process.
TechStart Solutions Inc is an active California corporation (filed 2021-08-03), good standing confirmed. CEO Maria Gonzalez (per your input): no sanctions or watchlist matches found. Compliance summary: Business verification passed with no adverse state filings. No sanctions exposure detected. Recommended action: Approve for vendor onboarding, subject to standard contract review. Note that Enigma's dataset reflects official records as of last refresh; consider periodic re-screening for ongoing relationships.
This synthesis example pairs KYB verification with sanctions screening, then asks the AI to interpret results for a business decision. The MCP provides raw compliance data; the AI adds context. Useful for vendor due diligence or partner onboarding workflows where you need both entity verification and watchlist clearance in one step.
Use-case deep-dives
When Enigma shortens KYB for early-stage fintech teams
A 6-person fintech startup onboarding 20-30 small business customers per week needs to verify each entity against state records and sanctions lists before opening accounts. Enigma's two-tool MCP handles this in Switchy: one agent runs the KYB check, another screens watchlists, and the team reviews flagged cases in a shared thread without switching to a compliance dashboard. This works when your volume is under 200 checks per month and your underwriters can handle manual review in Slack-style chat. If you're processing 500+ applications weekly or need audit trails with e-signatures, you'll outgrow the MCP and need Enigma's full platform or a dedicated compliance workflow tool. For early traction, though, Enigma in Switchy keeps compliance in the same workspace as customer success and product work.
Using Enigma to vet marketplace sellers before first transaction
A 4-person team launching a B2B marketplace needs to verify that each seller is a legitimate registered business before allowing their first listing. Enigma's KYB tool pulls official state records in seconds, so the ops lead can run checks during onboarding calls and approve or flag sellers in real time. The sanctions screen catches edge cases where a business name matches a watchlist entry. This setup works when you're vetting 10-50 sellers per month and the decision is binary (approve or reject). If your marketplace grows to hundreds of weekly applications or you need risk scoring beyond pass/fail, the MCP becomes a bottleneck and you'll want Enigma's API with custom scoring logic. At launch scale, though, the MCP keeps vetting fast and centralized in your team workspace.
When Enigma helps PE analysts verify target company basics
A 3-person investment team evaluating 8-12 acquisition targets per quarter uses Enigma to confirm that each target is a registered entity in good standing and not on any sanctions lists. The KYB check surfaces discrepancies between the pitch deck and state records (wrong incorporation date, dissolved status, mismatched addresses). The sanctions screen is table stakes before deeper diligence. This works when you're doing preliminary checks on a manageable deal flow and the MCP output feeds into a memo or spreadsheet. If you're screening 50+ companies per month or need historical ownership data and financial filings, Enigma's MCP is too shallow and you'll need their full dataset or a specialized diligence platform. For early-stage filtering, though, it catches red flags without leaving your research workspace.
Frequently asked
What does the Enigma MCP do in Switchy?
It runs KYB (Know Your Business) checks and sanctions screening directly in your AI workspace. You can verify a company's legal status against state records or screen customers against watchlists without leaving Switchy. Useful for compliance teams who need to check entities during onboarding or transaction reviews.
Do I need special Enigma account permissions to connect it?
You need an Enigma API key with access to their business verification and screening endpoints. Enigma uses API key authentication, so whoever connects it must have key generation rights in your Enigma account. Check with your compliance or ops lead if you're unsure who holds those credentials.
Can the Enigma MCP pull full company financials or credit scores?
No. It verifies legal entity status from state records and screens against sanctions lists. It doesn't return financials, credit ratings, or proprietary risk scores. If you need deeper due diligence data, you'll still need to use Enigma's full platform or a different data provider.
Why use this instead of logging into Enigma's dashboard?
Speed and context. You can run a KYB check mid-conversation with your AI assistant, then immediately act on the result—draft an email, update a CRM note, flag for review. The dashboard requires switching tabs, copying data, and manually recording findings. This keeps compliance work in one place.
Who on the team should connect the Enigma MCP?
Whoever owns compliance tooling or has Enigma API access. Typically a compliance lead, risk analyst, or ops manager. Once connected, any Switchy user in your workspace can invoke the tools, but you'll want to set internal guidelines on when to run sanctions screens to avoid burning through API quotas unnecessarily.
