What the API returns

Real responses, rebuilt daily from Colorado's official registry. Every state comes back in this same shape. Here registered-agent names and street lines are withheld, since either can belong to a person; the API returns them in full.

New businesses

Companies Colorado recorded in the last seven days, newest first.

Change events

A status change carries the before and after, with the state's own wording in statusReason. The other five event types work the same way: see change events.

From an AI agent

The MCP server exposes the same queries as tools, with the same key.

MCP
search_businesses({ "jurisdiction": "US-CO", "formed_after": "2026-10-19", "limit": 2 })
→ the same JSON as the REST response above, as a tool result
