Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_offenders”: Search US sex-offender registries for one person and/or location. Fans out across all 58 registries (or the ones named in `jurisdiction.”
“Use “batch_search”: Run many person/location lookups in one call (row-in / row-out). Each row goes through the SAME engine as search_offenders, so a row's.”
“Use “get_registry_coverage”: List every registry we cover plus its scope, legal status, and health. Public coverage catalog (no API key required). Use it to discove.”
“Use “search_criminal”: Search US criminal records — county jail bookings, state prison custody, court cases and warrants. Covers county jail rosters, statewid.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Offendersearch holds up.
gate scanned 5 tools on Sep 4, 2026. A few things are worth a look before you connect.
Operated by Offendersearch (offendersearch.app) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Offendersearch adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Offendersearch in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Offendersearch's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

No. Offendersearch runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Offendersearch in minutes. No credit card required.
