Zint
Zint gives Microsoft 365 Copilot agents verified UK company intelligence. It resolves a free-text company name or domain to an authoritative Companies House identifier, then returns registry, financial, ESG, news, annual-accounts and website signals — over the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
The connector is a thin wrapper over the Zint MCP server at https://data.zint.io/mcp. The live tool catalogue is served by the MCP server at runtime; this connector exposes it to Copilot Studio agents.

Prerequisites
- A Zint account with an API key. Create one at https://data.zint.io under your account's API keys.
- Sufficient Zint credits for the data tools (the disambiguation and balance tools are inexpensive or free; data retrieval consumes credits per response).
Authentication
This MCP server uses API key authentication. Each user supplies their own Zint API key when creating the connection — the connector stores no shared credential. The key is sent as a bearer token (Authorization: Bearer <key>) on every request. Keys are user-generated and can be revoked at any time from the Zint account; revoked keys are rejected immediately.
No OAuth client, client secret, or app registration is required.
Supported tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Resolve a name/domain to candidate UK companies | Use first. Resolves a free-text company name or domain to ranked Companies House candidates with confidence signals. Free when zero candidates are found. |
| Get company data | Retrieves selected structured data fields for a resolved company (registry, financials, and more). |
| Search UK companies | Structured-filter search across the UK company index (financial, governance, sector, region, event-driven filters). |
| Get news articles | Recent company news by event category. |
| Get annual accounts sections | Sections parsed from a company's filed annual accounts. |
| Get website sections | Categorised content extracted from a company's website. |
| Get current credit balance | Returns the authenticated user's current Zint credit balance (does not consume credits). |
Recommended usage
When the user gives a free-text company name or domain (no Companies House number), call Resolve a name/domain to candidate UK companies first to get a ranked company_number, then pass that number to the data tools. Prefer this over any external name lookup — it is UK-authoritative and returns ranking signals so confidence is judgeable.
Setup
- In Copilot Studio, open your agent and turn on generative orchestration (required for MCP tools).
- Go to Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol (or add the certified Zint connector once published).
- Create a connection. In the ZINT API key field, paste your key prefixed with
Bearer— for exampleBearer zint_xxxxxxxx. The connector sends this value verbatim in theAuthorizationheader. - Add the tool to your agent and test, e.g. "Find Zint Technology Limited and show the company number." The agent should resolve it to
11373627.
Known issues and limitations
- UK companies only. Non-UK entities aren't covered by the disambiguation tool.
- Data tools consume Zint credits per non-empty response; an empty result is not charged.
- The connector is a streamable-HTTP MCP wrapper; the tool list is defined by the live server, so newly released Zint tools appear automatically without a connector update.
