Cleo Atlas Legal API is an AI-driven product compliance platform that makes global regulations machine-readable. Designed for global brands operating across multiple markets, it transforms scattered regulatory data into actionable compliance intelligence. By continuously monitoring over 25,000 active regulations from 19,000+ authorities across 106 countries, the API eliminates manual research and spreadsheet-based tracking. Its core value proposition is delivering real-time, structured compliance data that can be integrated directly into product lifecycles, enabling faster market entry and reduced legal risk.
The primary pain point Cleo Atlas Legal API addresses is the slow, expensive, and limited nature of traditional product compliance workflows. The old approach relies on spreadsheets and external reviews, taking up to six months to establish coverage for only three markets at a cost of €50,000 per project. Updates are manual and yearly, leaving brands vulnerable to regulatory changes that can halt shipments or incur fines. This fragmented process creates blind spots and delays innovation. Cleo solves this by centralizing compliance into a single dashboard that covers 106 countries from the start, updating in real-time via AI-driven monitoring.
AI Agents for every step of product compliance form the first major feature group. These agents automatically scan product SKUs against the latest regulations, checking for compliance across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. Each agent is specialized for a step in the compliance workflow—such as ingredient restrictions, labeling requirements, or safety standards—and provides clear status indicators. This feature eliminates the need for manual cross-referencing across dozens of regulator websites. Users see at a glance which SKUs are compliant, which need attention, and why, allowing them to prioritize actions without digging through legal texts.
The second major feature is global regulatory coverage from every authority and source. Cleo indexes 106 countries through 3,700+ official sources, including major agencies like the FDA (US), EU Commission, IFRA (fragrance), COFEPRIS (Mexico), BSI (UK), NIST (US), ECHA (EU), PMDA (Japan), MFDS (South Korea), TGA (Australia), CFDA (China), and ANSM (France), plus 18,988 more. This coverage ensures no market is left unchecked. Users can trust that their compliance data reflects the actual regulatory landscape, not a curated subset. The system tracks over 25,000 active regulations and updates whenever a source publishes changes, providing an always-current compliance baseline.
The third feature group is the open-source MCP skills library—45 product compliance skills released under an MIT license and native to the Model Context Protocol. These skills can be installed with a single npx command: `npx -y @cleo-labs/skills-mcp@latest`. They work with Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT desktop, and any MCP client, allowing any AI agent to query compliance data directly. This enables engineers and compliance teams to embed regulatory checks into their existing development environments. For example, a developer can ask the agent about restrictions for a specific ingredient in the EU and get an immediate, structured answer based on the latest regulations.

The product works through a straightforward workflow. Users upload their product catalog into the Cleo dashboard, which then scans each SKU against the relevant regulations for every target market. The AI engine processes the regulations—which are originally unstructured legal text—and extracts structured requirements. The dashboard displays key metrics: total SKUs scanned, markets covered, and overall compliance percentage. It also provides a per-sector breakdown (Beauty, Electronics, Apparel, etc.) with individual compliance status. Alerts are triggered when a regulation changes or a SKU falls out of compliance, allowing proactive remediation.
A concrete use case comes from Decathlon, where Product Compliance Operations Manager Philippine Tamic described the challenge of capturing precise information from a massive volume of international product regulations. Cleo’s AI engine acts as an intelligent translator that filters noise to extract structured data directly actionable by teams. This data supports both global compliance steering and engineering product development. The outcome is a bridge between legal requirements and technical design, integrated into their PLM system. Other scenarios include a beauty brand verifying ingredient compliance across 50 markets before launch or an electronics manufacturer tracking new ecodesign regulations in real time.
Cleo Atlas Legal API is built for product compliance operations managers, regulatory affairs specialists, and engineering teams at global brands in sectors like beauty, electronics, apparel, and more. It is delivered as a cloud-based dashboard with API and open-source MCP integration. The platform runs on EU-hosted infrastructure (Scaleway, Paris region) and is GDPR Article 28 compliant with AES-256 encryption, no customer data used for training, and a complete audit trail. Pricing starts at €99 per product with a 24-hour time-to-value. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications are in progress. In summary, Cleo Atlas Legal API turns regulatory chaos into a competitive advantage: cost-effective, fast, and comprehensive compliance for any global brand.
Cleo Atlas Legal API is built for product compliance operations managers, regulatory affairs specialists, and engineering teams at global brands in consumer goods sectors such as beauty, electronics, apparel, and home goods. It serves organizations that sell products across multiple countries and need to track thousands of regulations from disparate authorities. Typical users include compliance leads at multinational corporations (e.g., Decathlon) who manage SKU-level compliance for hundreds of products, as well as smaller brands expanding internationally. The platform also suits developers who need to embed regulatory checks into CI/CD pipelines or PLM systems via the open-source MCP skills. It is not a general-purpose tool; it targets professionals who require accurate, real-time regulatory data to make informed product decisions and reduce legal exposure.
