Tracxn Legal Entity Search API and MCP — Find Registered Companies by Name or CIN
Send a name or registration number and get matching legal entities as a list: name, CIN, incorporation date, status, country, the brands associated with the entity and a link. The country defaults to India and can be set to Australia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore, Thailand or United Kingdom. Set max_items to cap how many come back (up to 20).
- You send
- a company name or registration number (CIN), an optional country (India by default) and an optional max_items
- You get back
- matching registered legal entities with name, CIN, incorporation date, status, associated brands and link
- Coverage
- Tracxn records with a public page.
- Price
- 1 point per returned record — $1 per 1,000
- Billed per record actually returned, capped by max_items. A request that returns nothing costs nothing.
Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tracxn directly | Type the query into Tracxn and read the results | Free, and slow | Fine for one record, useless across a list, and the layout differs on every platform |
| Building a scraper | Write it, host it, and repair it when Tracxn changes its pages | Engineering time | A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product |
| NeuralVerge | One request, the same shape as every other source in the catalog | $1 per 1,000, misses not billed | Returns what Tracxn publishes at request time. Other platforms are separate sources with the same request format |

}How to run it
The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.
Results come back in the same envelope as every other source: a session id, a readable summary, the structured result and the points charged. max_items caps how many records are returned and billed.

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Match company names from a list to registration numbers.
Coverage, freshness and limits
What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.
Tracxn records with a public page.
Read at request time, so the answer reflects the platform as it stands when you ask.
This source returns information Tracxn shows publicly. Every response carries the session id you can trace.
- —total_found is null in the sample, so the platform does not report how many matches exist.
- —Search matches on name or CIN, so common words return unrelated entities.
- —A CIN is an Indian registration number; other countries use their own identifiers, so CIN may not apply to them.
Questions, answered
India by default, plus Australia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore, Thailand and United Kingdom.
