Comply has announced general availability in May 2026 for its ComplyAI MCP Server, an enterprise-grade Model Context Protocol server designed to connect the firm’s compliance intelligence with major AI platforms used by financial services teams. The server is intended to let authorised compliance, advisor and operations users build custom AI agents in tools such as Claude, Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT without developer support or separate IT projects.
Initial use cases include trade pre-clearance, policy guidance, morning compliance briefings, certification and onboarding workflows, annual review preparation, and natural-language reporting. So, a compliance officer could ask an AI tool to surface open certifications, open pre-clearance requests, certification gaps, and regulatory alerts, or support a pre-clearance request while maintaining the relevant compliance record.
The first enabled use case will be trade pre-clearance, where a fund manager or other financial services user can instruct an AI orchestrator to submit a request and receive an approval or denial, with audit logs retained in the Comply platform. Policy guidance through ComplyAI Policy Guide is available for testing and is expected to be available through the MCP Server in mid-2026.
Comply is framing the infrastructure layer as central to the reliability of agentic compliance. The company says its data foundation maintains regulatory content, firm-specific policies, supervisory procedures and employee compliance data for environments including the SEC, FINRA and FCA. Client data is stored, processed and audited within the Comply platform and is not shared with other firms.
Michael Stanton, CEO of Comply, linked the launch to the sequencing of data infrastructure and AI access: “We built the compliance data infrastructure before we built the AI.” David Bliss, Chief Product Officer, added: “You cannot get there by starting with AI. You have to earn it.”
