What is the Hopgraph MCP server?

Hopgraph MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Hopgraph directly instead of describing what you should do. Verify ANZ businesses against government registers. Surfaces cross-jurisdictional findings.

What you get

Verify Australian and New Zealand businesses against government registers via any MCP-compatible AI agent.

What the assistant can call

Once Hopgraph is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • verify_business — Verify any Australian or New Zealand business against government registers. Accepts ABN (11 digits), ACN (9 digits), NZBN (13 digits), or company
  • search_business — Search Australian and New Zealand business entities by name. Covers 2.3 million+ Australian companies, 3.2 million business names, and New Zealand
  • expand_person_network — Discover all NZ company directorships and shareholdings held by a named person via the NZ Companies Office register. Returns every company where the
  • get_verification — Retrieve a previously generated compliance verification record by its unique audit UID. Returns the immutable entity snapshot captured at

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: AUTH_HEADER, YOUR_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Choosing this one

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Hopgraph's toolset — verify_business, search_business, expand_person_network and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by j-sulliman; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the hopgraph mcp server does with a few real requests.
