On October 2, in Malta. A B2B platform called THE COOP launched, with the slogan of making industry intelligence usable. It released 1,227 supplier dossiers in one go, covering categories that selection processes cannot avoid—platform, games, payments, compliance—paired with a public MCP connector. Who it is for is stated plainly: those choosing suppliers, those running operations, those managing funds, those making decisions.
How the dossiers are organized is worth copying. Each supplier covers four things: what the product offers, which legal entity stands behind it, what documents it holds, and where the evidence breaks off. Information is tagged in four tiers by reliability—supplier self-statement, registry verification, editorial review, unconfirmed. Product capabilities, registry numbers, integration documents, customer evidence—whatever sources could be linked were linked, and gaps are not hidden. That line in sales materials, "leading supplier," may fool people, but what buyers actually want is detail—those are its own words.
The MCP connector is the focus of this launch. Compatible AI assistants can retrieve its articles, dossiers, and activity records in a standard way, with results linking back to the original text. For example, when checking a payment service provider, one sentence lets the assistant pull up the dossier, summarize capabilities, attach sources, and flag what has not yet been verified—ready to use as a research draft. Editorial judgment is still human work: what matters, which convenient claims to push back on, and being accountable for whatever is published. The article's promise is also direct: explain what changed, who bears the cost, and what happens next.
For teams doing white-label platform solutions and platform solutions, supplier due diligence before gaming API integration has always been labor- and time-intensive. One more entry point that lets you dig out the evidence is more practical than one more glossy product brochure.
