What this server can do
13 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
check_jurisdiction(api_key, country)- Classify a country's AML risk against the FATF black/grey lists AND the EU high-risk-third-countries list. Accepts an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code or country name. Dated 2026-02-13. Costs $0.005 per call. Required: country.
create_api_key(note)- Create a Watchtower API key with free trial credit. Store the key; screening tools require it.
create_watch(days, name, api_key, threshold, webhook_url)- Monitor a name against all sanctions + US export-control lists. When the daily list refresh changes that name's match set, we POST a "watch_changed" event to your webhook. $0.01/day, prepaid, debited from your API key credit. Max 90 days. Required: name, webhook_url.
get_screening_info- Free: sanctions list versions, source hashes, freshness, entry counts, and the full per-tool price menu.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
| Signal | Value | What it measures | Window | Observed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub stars | 0 | Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. | cumulative, all time | GitHub | |
| Last commit | 2026-07-17 | Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained. | point in time | GitHub | |
| Open issues | 0 | Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| Latest published version | 1.1.0 | Latest version string the maintainer published to the registry. | as of fetch | Model Context Protocol | |
| Registry record last updated | 2026-07-17 | When the registry record was last updated by its maintainer. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| First listed in the MCP Registry | 2026-07-17 | Date this server was first published to the official MCP Registry. Not a usage or quality measure. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| repository status | active | The repository exists on GitHub and is not archived. This says nothing about how recently it was worked on. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| mcp tools declared | 13 tools | Number of functions the server itself declared when asked to list them. This is what the server offers an agent, not a measure of how well any of them work. | as of probe | watchtower-api.com | |
| mcp endpoint status | ok | The server listed 13 functions when asked. | as of probe | watchtower-api.com |
