Automated summary

This skill wires up an MCP server that queries OpenCorporates and SEC EDGAR to find company registrations worldwide and regulatory filings from US public companies.

Strengths

Three distinct, complementary tools: OpenCorporates search, detailed lookup by jurisdiction and company number, and SEC EDGAR filing search
Explicit filter parameters (jurisdiction, Active/Inactive/Dissolved status, 10-K/10-Q form types, date range)
No API keys and no cost — data comes from free public APIs
Setup documented both through mcporter and through an MCP config file

Limitations

Requires a remote MCP server to be configured (mcporter or ~/.openclaw/mcp.json) before anything works
OpenCorporates coverage varies by jurisdiction, and SEC EDGAR only covers US-listed companies, not private ones
Limited to three read-only tools: no officer/director search, no bulk export, no in-depth financials

When to use it

Use it to quickly confirm a company's existence, status or registration number, or to pull 10-K/10-Q filings for a US public company.

When not to use it

Avoid it for deep financial analysis, unregistered businesses, or compliance work that demands certified official sources and audit trails.

Security analysis

Caution

Quality score80/100

The skill contains no destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions and handles only public business-registry data with no credentials. The main risk is that it wires the agent to an external MCP endpoint and edits the agent's MCP config, which is legitimate for the described purpose but warrants caution and trust verification of the third-party host.

Findings

•Configures and connects the agent to a third-party remote MCP server (https://business-entity-mcp.apify.actor/mcp); all search queries and results flow through this external endpoint, so its trustworthiness should be verified.
•Instructs running `mcporter add ...` and editing `~/.openclaw/mcp.json`, which persistently grants the remote server tool access to the agent (config modification, not destructive but impactful).
•No secrets or API keys are sent and no destructive or obfuscated commands are present; only public data sources (OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR).

How this analysis is made

Examples

Global company lookup

Search OpenCorporates for 'Acme Corp' and list the active registrations, noting the jurisdiction and company number for each.

Verify a UK registration

Look up details for UK company registration 08209948 and tell me its status and incorporation info.

SEC filing research

Search SEC EDGAR for Microsoft 10-K filings from 2023-01-01 to 2024-12-31 and summarize what's available.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe/download' --output '.skill-downloads/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Original excerpt: Setup

mcporter add gov-entities --url https://business-entity-mcp.apify.actor/mcp --transport streamable-http

Or add to your OpenClaw MCP config (~/.openclaw/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "gov-entities": {
      "url": "https://business-entity-mcp.apify.actor/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe'

openskills read 'business-entity-search-mrwakfpe'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/business-entity-search-mrwakfpe/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
