Learn more in [What Is a Form 4 Filing?](https://alphasmo.com/blog/what-is-form-4-filing) and [What Is a Form 144 Filing?](https://alphasmo.com/blog/what-is-form-144-filing). - 🚀 **Smart money convergence** — the flagship signal: tickers where 13F institutions *and* company insiders are both buying right now. - 🤖 **Built for AI agents** — an MCP server out of the box, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client can pull real financial data mid-conversation. - 🆓 **Free anonymous tier** — no signup required to try it; [get a free API key](https://alphasmo.com/developer) any time to raise your rate limit. ## Use cases ``` "What is smart money buying right now?" → alphasmo convergence "What does Berkshire Hathaway hold?" → alphasmo institutions holdings berkshire-hathaway-inc "Are insiders buying or selling NVDA?" → alphasmo insider summary NVDA "Which stocks are institutions dumping?" → alphasmo stocks flows --direction sell ``` Wire the MCP server into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client (see [below](#mcp-server)) and ask these in plain English — no code required. ## CLI ```bash npx alphasmo institutions search "Berkshire" npx alphasmo stocks get AAPL npx alphasmo convergence -l 5 ``` No install step required — `npx` fetches and runs it. Or install globally: ```bash npm install -g alphasmo alphasmo --help ``` ### Commands | Command | What it returns | |---|---| | `alphasmo institutions search [-l\|--limit]` | Search 13F institutions by name | | `alphasmo institutions list [-l\|--limit] [-o\|--offset]` | Paginate the full institution universe (no query) | | `alphasmo institutions get ` | Full institution detail, sector weights | | `alphasmo institutions holdings ` | Latest 13F holdings for one institution | | `alphasmo stocks get ` | Full stock detail — holder count, flows, top holders (identifier = ticker or CUSIP) | | `alphasmo stocks flows [-d\|--direction buy\|sell] [-l\|--limit]` | Stocks ranked by net institutional buy/sell flow | | `alphasmo insider trades ` | Recent individual Form 4 insider trades for one ticker | | `alphasmo insider summary ` | Insider confidence scores (30d/90d) for one ticker | | `alphasmo convergence [-l\|--limit] [--min-confidence] [--days]` | Tickers where 13F institutions *and* insiders are both buying — the flagship signal | | `alphasmo mcp` | Start the MCP server over stdio | Global flags on every command: `--api-key ` (env `ALPHASMO_API_KEY`), `--base-url ` (env `ALPHASMO_BASE_URL`), `-f`/`--format json|compact|table|csv`, `--json` (shorthand for `--format json`), `--csv` (shorthand for `--format csv`). **Output format auto-detects your context** — no flag needed in the common case: - Typed directly in a terminal → a readable table, with numbers comma-formatted (`263,095,703,570`). - Piped, redirected, or spawned by a script/AI agent (stdout isn't a TTY) → JSON, safe to pipe into `jq` or feed to an agent. - `--format`/`--json`/`--csv` always override the auto-detection either way. ```bash alphasmo stocks flows --csv > flows.csv alphasmo insider trades AAPL --csv | column -s, -t ``` Errors go to stderr with a distinct exit code (`2` not found, `3` auth, `4` rate limit, `5` unexpected response shape, `1` other), so scripts can branch without string-matching. ## Get an API key Anonymous requests are rate-limited by IP. Sign up and mint a free key at **[alphasmo.com/developer](https://alphasmo.com/developer)**, then: ```bash alphasmo convergence --api-key ask_live_... # or export ALPHASMO_API_KEY=ask_live_... ``` ## MCP server ### Option 1: `claude mcp add` (recommended) If you're using [Claude Code](https://docs.claude.com/claude-code), register the server with one command: ```bash claude mcp add alphasmo -- npx -y alphasmo@latest mcp ``` Add `-e ALPHASMO_API_KEY=ask_live_...` before the `--` to raise your rate limit. Run `claude mcp list` to confirm it's connected. ### Option 2: manual MCP client config For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client, add this to your config file directly: ```json { "mcpServers": { "alphasmo": { "command": "npx", "args": ["alphasmo", "mcp"], "env": { "ALPHASMO_API_KEY": "optional-your-key-here" } } } } ``` Both options work anonymously out of the box, at lower rate limits than with a key. Tools exposed: `search_institutions`, `get_institution_profile`, `get_institution_holdings`, `get_stock_overview`, `get_stock_flows`, `get_insider_activity`, `get_smart_money_convergence`.
