How to call it

The same tool through each route. MCP clients reach it through Strale’s server at https://api.strale.io/mcp; the call below is what the agent sends.

# Needs an API key. max_price_cents caps what this call may cost.
curl -X POST https://api.strale.io/v1/do \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STRALE_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "capability_slug": "canadian-company-data",
    "inputs": {
      "corporation_number": "1007"
    },
    "max_price_cents": 80
  }'

    "inputs": {
      "corporation_number": "1007"
    },
    "max_price_cents": 80
  }
}

import { Strale } from "straleio";

const strale = new Strale({ apiKey: process.env.STRALE_API_KEY! });
const result = await strale.do({

    inputs={

Limitations

Provincial company coverage is limited
Covers federally incorporated companies — provincially registered businesses may have limited information
What to do instead: For provincial companies, supplement with the relevant provincial registry (e.g., Ontario ONBIS, BC Registry)
Named directors are not included
Director names are not included. `director_limits` gives the minimum and maximum permitted by the articles, rather than the current number of directors.
What to do instead: Order a corporate profile from Corporations Canada, or check the corporation's own filings
Name and number lookups use different methods
Corporation-number and business-number lookups read the official API directly. Name lookups extract results from the Corporations Canada website using AI and can return less precise fields.
What to do instead: Provide the corporation number for a fully algorithmic answer
Name history can be incomplete
`name_history` can contain only the current name even when the registry’s activity history records a name change. An empty list does not prove that the company has never been renamed.
What to do instead: Check the corporation's activity history on Corporations Canada for name-change events
API responses are limited to 4 MiB
API response bodies above 4 MiB are refused during download rather than parsed.
