FinancialReports MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the FinancialReports API. Direct access from Claude (and any MCP-compatible client) to regulatory filings, financial data, and corporate information from listed companies worldwide. 15 curated tools by default (set MCP_FULL_SURFACE=1 for the full 42-tool surface). Free for any FinancialReports account. Sourced from official regulators.

---

Quick start

If you're an analyst, researcher, or anyone who wants to ask Claude about public-company filings:

1. Create a free account at financialreports.eu — the MCP connector is free for any FinancialReports user. No paid plan required.
2. Add the connector in your MCP client — pick yours under Connect your client below. The two most common:
   • Claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL: https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp
   • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http financialreports https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp
3. Sign in with your FinancialReports account when prompted. That's it.

Full setup walkthrough with screenshots: financialreports.eu/integrations/claude/.

Connect your client

This is a remote MCP server — Streamable HTTP with OAuth (PKCE + Dynamic Client Registration). There is no API key to copy and no secret to store: connecting opens a browser sign-in with your FinancialReports account.

Endpoint: https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp

Find your client below. If it isn't listed, use the Generic block at the end — the endpoint and OAuth flow are identical everywhere; only the config file differs.

Claude.ai / Claude Desktop

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL: https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp. Sign in when prompted.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http financialreports https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp

Run /mcp in-session to complete the browser sign-in.

Codex (OpenAI)

Codex uses TOML. Add to ~/.codex/config.toml (or a project .codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.financialreports]
url = "https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp"

Then authenticate — Codex runs the OAuth browser flow for servers that support it:

codex mcp login financialreports

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "financialreports": { "url": "https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp" }
  }
}

OAuth runs in the browser on first use.

Kilo Code

Project .kilocode/mcp.json (or the global MCP settings file):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "financialreports": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

opencode

opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "financialreports": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "financialreports": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Hermes

mcp_servers in your Hermes config (YAML):

mcp_servers:
  financialreports:
    url: "https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Generic (any MCP client)

Most MCP-aware harnesses accept a mcpServers object. Point it at the endpoint over Streamable HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "financialreports": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.financialfilings.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Clients with native remote-MCP OAuth (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, opencode, Codex via codex mcp login) run the sign-in in a browser automatically. For OpenClaw and other MCP-aware harnesses, use this block with the connector URL and complete OAuth when prompted — see your client's own MCP configuration docs for the exact file location.

What you get

15 LLM-callable tools by default — the curated surface analysts actually use:

Domain	Tools	Use cases
Companies	4	Search by name/ticker/ISIN, retrieve full company profiles, get normalized financials, predict next annual report
Filings	4	List, retrieve, fetch markdown content (capped at 150K chars), keyword-search inside a single filing
ISINs	2	Lookup by ISIN, list dual-listings
Reference taxonomy	2	Filing categories and filing types
Guides	3	Filing-type taxonomy, ISIC industry classification, and markdown-fetch strategy — callable references for tool-only clients that can't read MCP resources

Set MCP_FULL_SURFACE=1 to restore the full 42-tool surface: the ISIC section/division/group/class hierarchy, the rest of the reference data (countries, languages, sources, line-item definitions, filing history), per-user watchlists, and webhook subscriptions.

The shipped surface is generated from a committed, reviewed snapshot of the FinancialReports OpenAPI schema (scripts/openapi.snapshot.json, pinned via FR_PIN_SCHEMA=1 in CI and the Docker build), so it's deterministic and never drifts silently on a rebuild.

Companion skill

The repository ships an Agent Skill — financial-filings-research — that teaches Claude how to compose these tools into the workflows analysts actually run: company lookup, filing summarization, multi-company financial comparison, ISIC industry screening, and filings monitoring. It activates automatically when the user mentions a company name, ticker, ISIN, filing type, or financial metric.

Key design decisions:

• Tools are generated, not hand-written. scripts/generate_mcp_tools.py reads the OpenAPI schema — pinned to a committed snapshot via FR_PIN_SCHEMA=1 in CI and the Docker build — and emits src/financial_reports_mcp.py. The default surface is curated to a focused 15-tool set; MCP_FULL_SURFACE=1 emits the full surface.
• Bearer-token proxy, not session storage. The user's Cognito access token is forwarded to the upstream API on every call. No conversation data, no API responses cached server-side.
• Subscription gating in-process. A 15-second LRU cache holds Cognito sub → tier mappings to avoid hammering the FR API on every tool call.
• Same-origin asset proxy. /favicon.ico, /icon.png, /icon-{32,192,512}.png are served from this origin (proxied + cached from CDN) so connector UIs and the /consent page render without cross-origin CSP friction.

MCP spec compliance

Compliant with the MCP 2025-11-25 specification:

• ✅ Streamable HTTP transport — POST /mcp with MCP-Protocol-Version echo, 400 on unsupported versions
• ✅ OAuth 2.0 — RFC 7591 dynamic client registration + PKCE S256
• ✅ RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata — both at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp
• ✅ Tool annotations — every tool has title plus readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
• ✅ outputSchema — six structured-content tools (companies_list, companies_retrieve, companies_financials_retrieve, filings_list, filings_retrieve, isins_list)
• ✅ Origin validation — 403 on unrecognized origins, 401 with proper WWW-Authenticate header for unauthenticated requests
• ✅ Multi-size connector icons — 32×32, 192×192, 512×512 PNG advertised in initialize response

CI verifies all of the above on every PR.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting requires standing up your own AWS Cognito user pool and is primarily useful for forking + adapting to a different upstream API. For the FinancialReports API specifically, the hosted server at mcp.financialfilings.com is the supported path.

Detailed self-hosting docs (Docker, Cognito setup, env vars, CDN/icon configuration): docs/SELF-HOSTING.md.

---

Development

One-shot bootstrap (venv → deps → env check → generate → run):

cp .env.example .env   # fill in Cognito values first; see docs/SELF-HOSTING.md
make dev               # creates .venv, installs, validates env, regenerates, serves on :8000
# MCP endpoint: http://localhost:8000/mcp

Or step by step:

# 1. Setup
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-test.txt

# 2. Configure
cp .env.example .env  # then fill in Cognito values; see docs/SELF-HOSTING.md

# 3. Generate the MCP module from the OpenAPI schema
python scripts/generate_mcp_tools.py

# 4. Run tests
pytest

# 5. Run locally
python -m uvicorn src.financial_reports_mcp:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
# MCP endpoint: http://localhost:8000/mcp

CI runs the full unit suite plus a Docker-Compose end-to-end test (with Redis) on every PR. See .github/workflows/ci.yml.

Local development with a personal API key

For iterating on the generator, tools, or prompts against a real backend without going through the Cognito OAuth dance every restart, the server supports a dev-only DEV_MODE_API_KEY env var. When set, JWT validation is skipped on the existing /mcp endpoint (both the subscription_required and _authorize_or_raise paths) and the key is forwarded as X-API-Key to API_BASE_URL.

This is a maintainer convenience, not a production auth path. The module refuses to import if MCP_BASE_URL contains a production hostname (mcp.financialfilings.com).

1. Add your personal FinancialReports API key to .env:

   DEV_MODE_API_KEY=fr_pat_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   MCP_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000
   

2. Regenerate and start the server (Cognito vars must still be set — the OAuth proxy module loads even when the bypass is active):

   make regen
   python -m uvicorn src.financial_reports_mcp:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
   

3. Point Claude Code at the local instance:

   claude mcp add --transport http financialreports-local http://localhost:8000/mcp
   

Production headless / API-key auth (parallel /mcp/apikey endpoint with per-request X-API-Key) is tracked in #28 and is a separate feature from this dev-mode shortcut.

Common tasks

# Regenerate tools after the OpenAPI schema changes
python scripts/generate_mcp_tools.py

# Run only fast unit tests
pytest tests/test_*.py

# Run end-to-end tests with Redis (requires Docker)
make e2e

Evaluating changes

This server is benchmarked by financial-reports/mcp-evals (private). Cross-model scorecards (task success, tool-selection accuracy, path consistency, tokens/turns/latency) live there, not here. Before merging changes to tool descriptions, Prompts, or the generator, run the harness against either prod or a local dev MCP and compare the scorecard.

What lives in this repo: deterministic prompt-registration tests at tests/eval/ — fast, no API keys, run on every PR. See tests/eval/README.md for the cross-repo workflow.

---

Security

This server handles OAuth flows and bearer tokens. Found a vulnerability? Please don't open a public issue. See SECURITY.md for the responsible-disclosure process.

Server-side guarantees:

• Bearer tokens are proxied per-request, never logged or persisted.
• HTTPS is enforced (HTTP redirects to HTTPS at the edge).
• CSP is applied to HTML responses (default-src 'none', only same-origin assets allowed).
• Origin validation rejects requests from unrecognized origins.
• All cryptographic operations rely on standard library + AWS SDKs; no custom crypto.

Contributing

Contributions welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md for development setup, the regenerate→test→PR workflow, and what kinds of changes are welcome (tests, docs, generator improvements, hand-tuned tool descriptions in scripts/generate_mcp_tools.py) versus what gets rejected (hand-edited src/financial_reports_mcp.py — it's auto-generated and overwritten on every build).
