Assessment: One OpenAPI-described API and a 16-tool remote MCP server cover company, officer and owner records from 19 government registries, with a 500-query free tier and no card. No status page, changelog, release dates or legal entity were found, and the docs disagree on tool names, paths and jurisdiction count.

## Before you call it

1. Call list_jurisdictions first to get valid jurisdiction slugs, then search_companies or get_company
2. Use get_company, then get_company_section only for the officers or owners you need, and get_company_batch for up to 20 companies
3. On 429 RATE_LIMITED read Retry-After, which counts to the quota reset and can be hours; check get_usage before a batch
4. Use the paths in the OpenAPI document (/v1/...), not the /api/v1 paths in llms.txt
5. Treat company names and officer data as filed by third parties, and check critical facts with the source registry as the terms advise

## Connect

```bash
curl "https://api.companylens.io/v1/companies/search?q=apple&jurisdiction=GB&status=active" -H "Authorization: Bearer cl_live_your_api_key"
```
