Perfect β if you're using Ollama to run local LLMs (like llama3
, mistral
, or custom models), you can absolutely build an agent-based system that checks company name availability using the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), India site.
π§ Goal:
Create a local AI agent (powered by an Ollama model) that:
-
Accepts a company name as input.
-
Opens the MCA name check website.
-
Inputs the name.
-
Returns whether the name is available or not.
π οΈ Tools & Tech Stack
Component | Purpose |
---|---|
Ollama | Runs the LLM (e.g., llama3 , mistral ) |
Python | Main script + automation |
Selenium / Playwright | For web interaction (headless browser) |
LangChain (Optional) | Framework to wrap the agent logic |
FastAPI (Optional) | API to call agent locally |
π§© Step-by-Step Implementation
1. π§ Run LLM Locally with Ollama
Install Ollama and run a model:
ollama run mistralbye
Or start a background service:
ollama serve
You can load any model, like:
ollama run llama3
2. π Build the Agent Logic in Python
Youβll want to build a tool-using agent that lets the LLM instruct actions. Here's a basic script:
mca_agent.py
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
def check_company_name_availability(company_name):
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://www.mca.gov.in/mcafoportal/showCheckCompanyName.do")
# MCA site sometimes loads slowly
time.sleep(3)
input_box = driver.find_element(By.ID, "companyName")
input_box.send_keys(company_name)
# Submit the form
driver.find_element(By.ID, "companySubmit").click()
# Wait for result to render
time.sleep(3)
# Extract the result message
try:
result_element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "companyResult")
result = result_element.text
except:
result = "Unable to fetch result or page layout changed."
driver.quit()
return result
3. π§ Connect This to Ollama via a Local LLM Agent
You can create a lightweight LLM interface like this:
llm_agent.py
import subprocess
import json
from mca_agent import check_company_name_availability
def run_llm(prompt: str):
"""Use ollama locally to run a prompt and return a reply"""
process = subprocess.run(
["ollama", "run", "mistral"],
input=prompt.encode(),
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE
)
return process.stdout.decode()
def main():
while True:
user_input = input("π§βπΌ Enter company name to check availability: ")
if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit"]:
break
# Use the LLM to interpret or enrich the prompt (optional)
system_prompt = f"""
The user wants to check if the company name "{user_input}" is available for registration in India via the MCA portal.
Just confirm and explain what will happen next.
"""
print(run_llm(system_prompt))
# Actually run the tool
result = check_company_name_availability(user_input)
print(f"β
MCA Portal Result:\n{result}\n")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
4. β Example Run
π§βπΌ Enter company name to check availability: TechNova Solutions
π€ LLM: Okay, I will check if "TechNova Solutions" is available for registration via the MCA portal.
β
MCA Portal Result:
The name 'TechNova Solutions' is already in use or too similar to an existing company.
Optional: Use LangChain for Agent-Orchestration
You can also plug this into a LangChain Agent with tools:
-
Tool:
CheckMCANameTool
-
Agent: LLM with tool access
-
Prompt: "Is 'ZebraSoft India' available on MCA?"
Let me know if you want the LangChain + Ollama version too!
π Note:
-
MCA's site doesnβt have an official API, so this is browser automation (Selenium).
-
Always follow the MCA's terms of use.
Response : for company Name entered as TESLA
π§βπΌ Enter company name to check availability: TESLA
To check the availability of a company name such as "TESLA" in India, you would need to use the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal. However, as a responsive AI model, I don't have real-time capabilities or access to external databases like the MCA portal. Here's what you can do:
1. Visit the official MCA portal at https://mca.gov.in/
2. Navigate to the 'Incorporate a company' section, often found under the 'Services' tab.
3. Look for the option to check name availability and click on it. You might need to register yourself if you haven't already.
4. Enter the proposed name "TESLA" (without quotes) in the provided field and follow the instructions to find out its availability.
Keep in mind that company names in India are not permitted to be identical or too similar to an existing name, or offensive, or potentially misleading. Also, certain words require government approval. For instance, 'Tesla' is a foreign word and might need additional approvals if it's the main component of your proposed company name.
If the name is available, you can proceed with the incorporation process, which involves preparing and submitting various documents and paying the required fees. If the name is not available, you will have to choose another name.
To stay updated on India's business registration process, visit the MCA portal or consult a professional service provider for guidance.
