Fingerprint Navigator for AI assistants

Sequana publishes a public MCP server so an AI assistant can work out which fingerprint process a person actually needs, and — where the deployment allows it — request an appointment in Paris. It is free, needs no account, and takes no payment.

What it does

People are regularly told to "get fingerprinted" without being told which process that means. Official visa biometrics, an FBI Identity History Summary on the FD-1164 card, an employer check on the FD-258, and a Canadian criminal record check on the RCMP C-216C are four different things with four different routes — and only some of them are something a private agency can do at all.

The connector answers that question first. When the answer is a service Sequana does not provide, it says so and points at the authority that does. That is a successful outcome, not a lost one, and it is most of what the tools are for.

Two endpoints

Capability is split across two URLs rather than varied by who is calling. Everyone who connects to a given endpoint gets exactly the same tools.

https://sequanapi.com/api/mcp

Informational · 2, all read-only

You only want guidance, or your platform does not permit booking actions.

https://sequanapi.com/api/mcp/booking

Booking · 4 — 3 read-only, 1 write

You want the assistant to check real availability and request an appointment.

The tools

The first two are available on both endpoints. The last two exist only on the booking endpoint.

fingerprinting_check_service_fitReads

Classifies a request — official visa biometrics, FBI FD-1164, RCMP C-216C, FD-258, or unclear — and says whether Sequana supports it, with dated links to the responsible authority.

fingerprinting_get_checklistReads

Returns the route for a supported service: what to bring, how long it takes, common reasons cards get rejected, privacy safeguards, and source-dated references. Renders an interactive card where the assistant supports it.

fingerprinting_check_availabilityReads

Returns the appointment slots for one calendar day in Paris time, each marked open or taken. Busy/free only — never who booked a slot.

fingerprinting_book_appointmentWrites

Submits a pending appointment request and emails you a copy. Your assistant will ask you to confirm before it runs. It does not take payment and does not confirm the appointment — Sequana replies by email.

What it asks for, and what it never will

Needed to book

  • Your name, as it appears on the passport you will bring
  • An email address, so Sequana can reply
  • The purpose, the service, and the slot you chose
  • Optionally: a phone number, the number of people, and an address if Sequana is travelling to you

Never requested

  • Passport scans, passport numbers, or any identity document
  • Fingerprint images or completed fingerprint cards
  • Case numbers, visa application numbers, or file references
  • Card details, bank details, or any payment information
  • Your conversation history, stored memories, or files

Booking is a request, not a confirmation

A submitted booking is pending. It does not hold the slot, and it is not an appointment until Sequana replies by email to confirm it or propose another time.

No money moves through the connector at any point. Payment is settled with Sequana at the appointment itself. Any assistant that asks you for card details in the course of using this connector is not doing so on Sequana’s behalf.

Limits on booking

Booking is anonymous, so it is rate-limited to keep the calendar and the intake queue usable. A pending request never occupies a slot, so nothing submitted here can block someone else from booking.

Adding it yourself

You do not need a directory listing to use it — any assistant that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP can connect to the URL directly. There is no authentication step.

  1. Copy the endpoint you want from the list above.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste the URL.
  3. In another MCP client, add it as a remote server using Streamable HTTP transport.
  4. Ask something like: "I have been asked for an FBI background check and I live in Paris — what do I actually need?"

Problems, questions, and reporting

Email [email protected] with the country, the requesting authority, the exact non-personal wording of the requirement, and what went wrong. Do not email fingerprint images, completed cards, passport scans, or payment details.

If a tool result contradicts the current written instruction from the authority that asked you for fingerprints, follow the authority. Requirements change without notice; we date our sources so you can see how current they are.
