Northern Trust MCP Layer

Northern Trust MCP Layer

A 'Server of Servers' architecture that aggregates domain-specific financial data capabilities into a single governed interface. It enables users to access fund performance tools like returns, benchmark comparisons, and risk-adjusted metrics through a unified MCP-compliant gateway.

Northern Trust MCP Layer - Prototype

This repository implements a "Server of Servers" architecture using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It features a central Orchestrator that aggregates domain-specific data capabilities (like Performance) into a single, governed interface.

Repository Structure

  • orchestrator/: The main gateway server. Handles routing and tool aggregation.
  • domains/performance/: Sample domain implementation providing fund performance tools.
  • package.json: Root configuration for managing the workspace.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v18+)
  • NPM

Setup Instructions

  1. Install Dependencies Run from the root directory:

    npm install
    
  2. Build the Projects

    npm run build:all
    
  3. Run for Testing

    Option A: Test individual domains

    cd domains/performance
    npm run dev
    

    Option B: Test the Orchestrator (Server of Servers)

    cd orchestrator
    npm run dev
    

Key Features

  • Namespace Routing: Tools from the Performance domain are automatically prefixed with perf_ by the orchestrator.
  • Dynamic Discovery: The orchestrator fetches the tool manifest from domain servers on startup.
  • Type Safety: Built with TypeScript and Zod for robust schema validation.
  • Standard Protocol: Compatible with any MCP-compliant client (e.g., Gemini, Claude Desktop).

Available Tools (via Orchestrator)

  • perf_get_fund_returns: Returns YTD and 1-year performance.
  • perf_benchmark_comparison: Compares fund vs benchmark.
  • perf_sharpe_ratio: Returns risk-adjusted performance metric.
