How should you choose a MCA data API?

Check whether the provider serves live MCA data or periodic copies, and read the stated data date.

Check whether the provider serves live MCA data or periodic copies, and read the stated data date.
Look for directors by DIN, charges and disqualification lists if you run diligence on people as well as companies.
Compare per-call prices with subscription plans at your monthly volume.
Prefer providers that publish prices and let you sign up without a sales call if you want to test quickly.
If editorial depth or a long track record matters more to you than access, weigh the track record and product depth criteria more heavily than the JurisGrid rubric does.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best MCA data API in India?

What is MCA data?

MCA data is the company information filed with India's Ministry of Corporate Affairs: master data, directors identified by DIN, charges and filings for companies and LLPs. APIs expose it by CIN, LLPIN or company name. Provider records are copies of public filings, so a master record can lag behind the live MCA portal.

Which MCA data APIs in India have an MCP server?

IndiaCos, Indian Regulatory Data MCP and mcp-india-stack list a public MCP server in this review. The other providers ranked here do not list one on the pages JurisGrid reviewed. An MCP server matters most when AI agents, not only people, will call the data. Check each provider's tool list before relying on it, since tool counts and billing differ.

Which MCA data APIs in India publish prices?

IndiaCos, NexGenData OGD India Companies, Infyner, QorpIQ, mcp-india-stack, Tofler and Message Central (eKYC Now) publish prices in this review. The others quote on request, sell by subscription without a price list or publish nothing on the pages reviewed. Published prices let you estimate a bill before you contact anyone. Prices change, so confirm them on the provider's pricing page.

Which MCA data APIs in India can you start using without a sales call?

IndiaCos, InstaFinancials, NexGenData OGD India Companies, IndiaFilings, mcp-india-stack, Tofler and Sandbox offer self-serve sign-up in this review. IndiaCos gives INR 50 free credit on signup. Providers that route sign-up through sales may still be strong choices for managed or enterprise needs. Sign-up routes change, so confirm them on each provider's site.

How does JurisGrid rank MCA data APIs in India?

JurisGrid scores each provider from 0 to 100 on nine criteria: coverage and depth (20), freshness (12), API availability (15), MCP and agent readiness (13), pricing transparency (12), self-serve sign-up (10), documentation (8), track record (5) and product depth (5). Rankings follow the score and use only public evidence.
