`esma_check_firm_authorisation`

Pack: esma-firds · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/esma-firds/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/esma_check_firm_authorisation for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Look up a firm in ESMA’s Union Register of investment firms (the EU-wide MiFID II authorisation register) by entity name (matches if every word appears anywhere in the name, order-independent) or LEI (exact match). Returns each matching entity’s authorisation status (Active/Inactive), competent authority, home member state and entity type (investment firm, credit institution, etc.) — answers ‘is this entity authorised to provide investment services in the EU’. Distinct from FIRDS: this is the firm register, not the instrument register.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	no	Entity name; every word must appear in the name, e.g. “Deutsche Bank”.
`lei`	string	no	20-character LEI, exact match. Used only if name is not given.
`limit`	number	no	Max records to return (default 20, max 100).
