CIPHERA - An agentic anti money laundering investigator

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by CIPHERA at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

Financial institutions employ armies of analysts to manually investigate flagged transactions, which is slow, expensive, and prone to human error. An autonomous MCP server acts as a forensic accountant; When a transaction is flagged, the agent dynamically queries external databases, maps corporate ownership structures, and compiles a comprehensive compliance dossier.

BFSI & FinTech track

Build AI solutions for banking, payments, insurance, fraud detection, lending, and financial inclusion.
