Getting Close!

June 23, 2026 by Jeff Ward (Beneficial Strategies)

After a lot of heads-down building, we are close — very close — to launching version 1.0 of the ISO 20022 AI MCP Server. The server is live on production infrastructure right now. We’re running it through its paces, validating the support workflows, and tightening the last few details before we open the doors. Here’s where things stand. What’s working today The knowledge base is current. We’ve updated to the May 2025 ISO 20022 repository snapshot — over 2,500 message definitions, 400+ business components, and all associated code sets and constraints, straight from the official specification.
