AdvisorFinder MCP Server

What AdvisorFinder MCP Server does

AdvisorFinder MCP Server MCP server gives MCP-compatible assistants access to public financial-advisor and firm information collected from SEC and FINRA sources. It supports searches for investment adviser representatives by name, firm, city, or state, as well as searches for registered firms by name or state. Advisor records can include CRD identifiers, linked firms, registration details, employment history, exams, professional designations, years in the industry, and disclosure status.

The service also includes AdvisorFinder marketplace coverage. Its bookable-advisor search returns selected marketplace members, their self-provided profile information, links to their AdvisorFinder pages, and available regulatory facts. Marketplace participation is labeled and does not change regulatory results or search ranking.

How it works

A client sends natural-language requests through MCP, and the server selects the relevant tool. search_advisors and search_firms help locate records without a CRD number. get_advisor and get_firm provide fuller records after a match is found, while check_advisor is intended for a quicker registration and disclosure check. get_database_stats reports database counts, source dates, and disclosure totals.

Disclosure results use four states: none_reported, disclosed_no_detail, disclosed_with_detail, and unknown. The server does not turn those facts into a numeric risk score. It also does not republish detailed disclosure narratives; users should follow the supplied SEC IAPD or FINRA BrokerCheck links for the underlying records.

Setup and configuration

The hosted MCP endpoint is:

https://mcp.advisorfinder.com/mcp

Claude can add it as a custom connector, and Claude Code can register it with an HTTP transport. For clients that need stdio, install the proxy package with pip install advisorfinder-mcp, then configure the command advisorfinder-mcp. uvx can run the package without a local installation.

The stdio proxy uses the hosted endpoint by default. Set ADVISORFINDER_MCP_URL to point it at another deployment, such as a staging endpoint.

Tools and capabilities

AdvisorFinder MCP Server MCP server provides these tools:

• search_advisors: Find representatives by identity or location and return basic regulatory matches.
• get_advisor: Retrieve a representative’s detailed profile by CRD.
• check_advisor: Check active registration, state registrations, industry tenure, and disclosure status by CRD or name.
• find_bookable_advisors: Search AdvisorFinder marketplace members by specialty, city, or state.
• search_firms: Find SEC- and state-registered firms, including location, AUM band, and advisor count.
• get_firm: Retrieve firm locations, former names, available fee information, disciplinary flags, and roster count.
• get_database_stats: View database totals, source vintages, and disclosure tallies.

The server also exposes resources describing credentials, data sources, and coverage limitations.

Limitations and notes

Advisor rosters cover representatives linked to SEC-registered advisers. Purely state-registered firms do not have advisor rosters in this coverage, while dual-registered firms may show them. An empty roster therefore does not prove that a firm has no advisors.

Professional designations are self-reported and are not independently verified. Marketplace profile details, including AUM or client counts, are also self-reported where shown. Some marketplace members may be state-registered or associated with broker-dealers and may not appear in the SEC roster dataset.

The data is for research and informational use, not financial, legal, or investment advice. Disclosure records require context, and decisions should not rely solely on an AI-generated interpretation or this server’s results.
