What is ExChek?
ExChek provides free skills that handle classification, denied-party screening, license determination, export documentation, and more — with you approving every decision. Skills run inside the AI assistants you already use: Claude (recommended), Cursor, and other frontier AI assistants supporting the open Agent Skills standard.

Key features
- Free engine — Every skill is free. CSL screening uses a free Trade.gov API key. See Pricing for the paid tiers.
- Live regulatory data — 12 CFR parts (15 CFR 732, 734, 738, 740, 742, 744, 746, 748, 762, 772, 774 + 22 CFR 121) via the ExChek API, MCP server, or eCFR direct, plus a normalized feed of recent BIS/DDTC/DOJ enforcement actions and general search across the Federal Register, SEC EDGAR, and the CFR.
- Human-in-the-loop — You confirm every jurisdiction and classification determination.
- Audit-ready documents — A seven-document suite of branded PDFs (classification memo, license determination, screening certificate, transaction compliance file, EMCP manual, technology control plan, encryption report). The Screening Certificate renders free.
- CRM integration — Pull from and push to HubSpot, Salesforce, or other CRMs. See Integrations.
Where ExChek runs
- Works everywhere — Connect the hosted MCP (recommended, no install) from any MCP-capable client. Claude Code, Desktop, and Cowork can also use the upload-based plugin install (still available, retiring soon).
- Other frontier AI assistants — Cursor today; ChatGPT and Perplexity Compute as those platforms add Agent Skills support.
- Air-gapped or IT-restricted — Download a release zip from GitHub Releases and install manually.
