MIT · runs locally with your own credentials

Quickstart

Install, set the credentials, make the first call.

Pick your client. The server runs locally over stdio, with your own credentials.

Tools

What your agent can call.

Create a Persona inquiry — a verification session bound to an inquiry template you configured in the Persona dashboard. The template defines which verifications run (document, selfie, database, phone, etc). Returns an inquiry id and (for hosted flows) a one-time link for the end user.

Retrieve an inquiry by id. Response includes overall status ('created' | 'pending' | 'completed' | 'expired' | 'failed' | 'needs_review' | 'approved' | 'declined') and embedded verifications / reports. Poll this to track progress.

List inquiries, filterable by reference-id (your internal user id) or status. Useful for reconciling state or finding a user's inquiry history.

Mark an inquiry as approved. This records your final decision on the Persona inquiry — useful for dashboard reporting and Persona's feedback loop. Does NOT itself gate the user; you must still enforce the decision in your app.

Mark an inquiry as declined. Records your final reject decision on the Persona inquiry for reporting and feedback.

Redact an inquiry (GDPR right-to-erasure). Scrubs PII, captured images, and verification detail for this inquiry on Persona's side. Irreversible.

Create a persistent Persona account — a long-lived end-user record that multiple inquiries can attach to. Enables re-use of previously verified fields and longitudinal fraud signals across sessions.

Retrieve a Persona account by id, including summary PII and linked inquiries / verifications.

List reports — individual verification artifacts (e.g. watchlist, adverse media, business lookup). Filterable by account and type. Each report is a standalone verification separate from inquiry-flow verifications.

Retrieve a single report by id — returns the full verification detail (matches, scores, raw source data).

Open a case — a workspace for an ongoing investigation tied to one or more inquiries / accounts. Useful for manual review, periodic re-verification, or flagged users that need operator follow-up.

Resume a paused inquiry — returns a fresh one-time session token / link so the end user can continue a flow that was abandoned or needs additional steps (e.g. after a 'pending' webhook).

Compatibility

MCP is a protocol. Any client that speaks it can mount this server.

codespar_discover lists this server's tools, but a project with a test key cannot call them yet: the runtime has not recorded what this provider does in test mode, and refuses rather than guess.

Start in seconds.

Add the config above, set the variables, and your agent calls the tools.
