Financial Evidence Research Desk

What Financial Evidence Research Desk does

The Financial Evidence Research Desk MCP server exposes eight read-only tools for structured financial research. Its coverage includes bank disclosures, funding benchmarks, funding history, liquidity evidence, and source health. The material describes the service as a set of paginated research tools rather than a system for writing data or changing records.

Seven dataset views retain context that can be important when interpreting financial observations. Each view preserves the source, the observation date, the unit, and values that are unavailable. This makes the returned evidence more explicit than a result that contains numbers without their provenance or measurement context.

The service is intended for research workflows where an agent needs to retrieve financial evidence and inspect the conditions attached to that evidence. It is not presented as a general-purpose trading, transaction, or portfolio-management interface.

How it works

Requests are made through MCP tools that return paginated research data. Pagination is relevant when a query produces more records than a single response can contain. The available views organize the supplied evidence around the supported financial subjects, including disclosures, funding, liquidity, and source health.

The Financial Evidence Research Desk MCP server is hosted at /openbb/mcp. The supplied material also references a browser desk, REST/OpenAPI examples, and CSV examples. Those examples can help developers understand how the research service is exposed and how its data may be used outside an MCP client, but the available description does not specify individual endpoint names or request parameters.

Setup and configuration

Public access does not require an API key. A client or application must use the hosted service location described as /openbb/mcp; no required environment variables are documented in the supplied material.

The source page is available at https://beepboop2025.github.io/financial-evidence-skills/start/. Consult that page for the current connection instructions and any details not included in this listing. The provided description does not name specific MCP clients or state a local installation procedure.

Tools and capabilities

The documented capabilities are:

• Query bank disclosure evidence.
• Review funding benchmarks.
• Retrieve funding history.
• Inspect liquidity evidence.
• Check source health.
• Use eight read-only tools with paginated results.
• Access seven dataset views that retain sources, observation dates, units, and unavailable values.
• Refer to browser, REST/OpenAPI, and CSV usage examples.

The description does not provide the exact names, schemas, filters, or pagination parameters for the eight tools. Developers should verify those details in the source documentation before implementing against them.

Limitations and notes

The Financial Evidence Research Desk MCP server is read-only, so the supplied material does not support claims about creating, updating, or deleting financial records. Coverage is partial, and source-specific rights apply. Those restrictions may affect which evidence is available and how it can be reused.

This service is distinct from the three-tool Financial Evidence source router. They should not be treated as interchangeable listings or assumed to expose the same tool set. The description also does not identify a license, client compatibility matrix, local runtime, authentication options beyond public access, or guarantees about dataset completeness and freshness.
