`cobalt_business_search`

Pack: cobalt · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cobalt/mcp

Look up a US company’s Secretary-of-State registration & status — returns entity name, standing/status, SOS entity id, entity type, filing date, officers, registered agent, and address. Live from the state SOS portal (all 50 states + DC). Example: cobalt_business_search({ searchQuery: “Cobalt Intelligence”, state: “UT”, _apiKey: “your-key” })

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`searchQuery`	string	yes	Company legal name (e.g. “Apple Inc”) or a Secretary-of-State entity id (sosId) to look up.
`state`	string	yes	Two-letter US state code, e.g. “CA”, “NY”, “TX”, “DE”.
`liveData`	boolean	no	Optional. Force a fresh live pull from the state portal (slower, may return a retryId) instead of allowing recent cached data.
