Dun & Bradstreet brings risk and compliance workflows to Claude

Dun & Bradstreet announced on May 5, 2026 a collaboration with Anthropic that brings D&B risk data into Claude through a Model Context Protocol server connected to the D&B Commercial Graph. The company says clients can build customized KYC and KYB workflows in minutes to speed onboarding and compliance decisions. In D&B's example, a financial institution could use D&B data in Claude to onboard corporate clients by verifying identity and ownership, assessing risk and generating audit-ready documentation. Alex Zuck, General Manager of Risk at D&B, said the integration gives Claude verified context and decision logic, producing outputs that are explainable, auditable and consistent.

The details

• Users can verify business identity across complex ownership and control structures.
• Users can evaluate exposure across global third-party and supplier networks.
• Onboarding agents can incorporate real-time risk intelligence into decisions.
• The integration can automate creation of risk decision documentation.
• Business identity is anchored in the D-U-N-S Number.

Context

This is the first of a series of AI assistant and agent integrations for D&B data in our coverage. It was followed by a Microsoft 365 Copilot Graph Connector and a ChatGPT and Codex collaboration in early June, Amazon Quick in June, a Cursor plugin in July, Snowflake, Gemini Enterprise and Perplexity in August, and Microsoft Copilot Studio and IBM watsonx Orchestrate in September.
