Available tools 27

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

insider
find_insider_buying
Scan ALL U.S. companies for insider open-market PURCHASES — the strongest insider signal. Ranks companies by total value bought, number of distinct insiders buying ('cluster buying'), or recency. Use for 'which insiders are buying right now?', 'CEO purchases this month', 'companies where 3+ insiders bought'.
find_insider_clusters
Find every company where several different insiders made OPEN-MARKET purchases (option exercises, awards and sales excluded), list each buyer's name, title and amount, and FLAG BATCHES: many buyers filing on the same day with similar, modest amounts usually means one company program (employee purchase plan, IPO or private-placement allocation), not independent conviction. Each company gets a 0–100 conviction score (independent buyers, C-suite participation, size per buyer, how much they grew their stake, purchases spread over several days, minus batch penalty) with reasons. Use for 'find companies where 3+ insiders bought in the last 60 days', 'cluster buying that is real, not a comp plan', 'rank insider clusters by conviction'.
get_insider_activity
List and summarize insider trades (SEC Form 4) for one company: who bought or sold, when, how much, their role (CEO, CFO, Director, 10% owner…), and a link to each filing. Use for questions like 'are insiders buying or selling NVDA?' or 'show Tesla insider trades this year'.
get_insider_person
Find an insider (executive, director, or large holder) by name and list their open-market trades across all companies, with totals. Use for 'what has Warren Buffett bought recently?' or 'Jensen Huang stock sales'.
get_insider_signal
Score current insider behavior for one company (0–100, 50 = neutral) and EXPLAIN it: open-market buying vs selling, how unusual it is versus the company's own 5-year history, cluster buying, and C-suite participation, with the evidence trades and SEC links. Use for 'is insider activity at X bullish or bearish?' or 'anything unusual about insiders at X?'.
account
get_account_link
Create a private, single-use link that signs the user straight into the right CapitalSnitch page — checkout (card or crypto) to upgrade or renew, or their account page to cancel, change email settings or make a new connection address. Valid 15 minutes, works once. Give it to the user to click; no password or email code needed. Free to call.
get_my_account
The user's own CapitalSnitch account: plan (Free / Scout / Analyst / Edge), whether it is active, renewing, cancelled or expired, the date it renews or ends and days left, payment method type, questions used today vs the daily limit, which features are included and which need an upgrade. Free to call (does not count toward the daily limit). Use when the user asks 'what plan am I on?', 'when does my subscription renew?', 'is my plan active?', 'how many questions do I have left?'. The user is recognized by their personal connection address — no email or password is needed.
about
about_capitalsnitch
Facts about CapitalSnitch itself: what it is (a live commercial service, not a demo), every plan with price, daily limit and features, which data each plan includes, payment methods, how to sign up (right here in the chat or on the website), which AI apps can connect and how, and the support email. Use for 'what is CapitalSnitch?', 'how much does it cost?', 'what plans are there?', 'how do I contact them?', 'can ChatGPT/Grok connect?'. Free, needs no account and never counts toward the daily limit.
alert
set_alert_preferences
Turn the user's CapitalSnitch email alerts on or off (Edge plan): instant watchlist alerts, market-wide 'big insider moves' alerts, and the daily briefing email. Omit a setting to leave it unchanged; call with no settings to see the current ones. Use for 'alert me about any big insider buys', 'stop the daily email', 'turn my alerts on'. Never counts toward the daily limit.
alerts
get_my_alerts
The alert and daily-briefing emails CapitalSnitch sent the user recently, newest first (Edge plan). Use for 'what alerts did I get today?', 'did anything trigger on my watchlist?'. Never counts toward the daily limit.
buy
buy_plan
Upgrade, renew or switch the signed-in user's plan without the website. Card: returns a secure Square payment link (or, for an active card subscriber, switches the plan right away). Crypto: returns the exact amount, coin, network and address to send. The plan activates automatically when paid. Free to call. Requires the user's personal connection address; on the public preview use start_signup instead.
companies
search_companies
Look up tickers and official company names (with SEC CIK) from recent insider filings. Use when the user names a company but not its ticker, or a ticker returns no results.
company
get_company_context
Everything that matters about one company in one call: the explained insider signal (score, cluster and C-suite buying, unusual vs history) PLUS the next earnings date and countdown (and last earnings), the stock's volatility regime (calm / normal / elevated / extreme vs its own past year), trend vs 50/200-day averages, drawdown from the 52-week high, recent returns, Wall Street analyst consensus and its 3-month trend, and the market backdrop (regime + next Fed meeting odds). Ends with 'what stands out' facts. Use for 'analyze X', 'should I look closer at X?', 'anything notable about X before earnings?'. Also includes the company's financials (valuation, growth, profit) and dilution summary. Includes 'analysis': a written CapitalSnitch Take (headline, story, bull case, bear case, what to watch) grounded in the data — present it to the user, and say it is automated context, not investment advice.
confirm
confirm_signup
Step 2 of 2: checks the emailed code, creates the account (or signs in), and returns the user's personal connection address plus — for a paid plan — the payment step (a secure card link, or exact crypto payment details). The plan activates automatically when the payment lands. Free to call.
congress
get_congress_trades
Stock trades reported by members of the U.S. House and Senate (STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports): member, party, state, chamber, stock, purchase or sale, amount range, trade date, filing date, how many days late it was reported, owner (self/spouse/joint/child) and a link to the official filing. With no filters: the week's summary, most-traded stocks and late filers. FREE public information on every plan and never counted toward the daily limit. Reports arrive up to 45 days after the trade (median about a month), so this is a historical record, not a live feed. Use for 'which members of Congress traded NVDA?', 'what has Pelosi bought?', 'congressional trades this week'. Must not be used for credit decisions, fundraising or solicitation.
daily
get_daily_brief
Ready-made daily briefing: market backdrop and next Fed meeting odds, insiders who bought ahead of upcoming earnings, the biggest insider purchases this week, CEO/CFO purchases, and cluster buying. Use for 'give me today's briefing', 'what's interesting today?', or as the start of a morning routine.
data
get_data_status
Report what data CapitalSnitch covers, how fresh it is, update schedule, sources, and known limitations. Use when asked 'how current is this?', 'what data do you have?', or before making time-sensitive claims.
dilution
get_dilution_history
Every stock offering, at-the-market (ATM) program, convertible note (including private Rule 144A deals announced only in an 8-K), notes exchanged for shares, unregistered share sale and shelf registration the company filed with the SEC, plus the company's 8-K filings of the last 30 days in plain English, with size, price per share, and how the stock reacted (day 1, day 2, 1 week, 1 month vs the prior close); the share-count trend (1-year change, 3-year yearly rate); and a 0–100 dilution-risk score with reasons (recent offerings, active shelf, cash burn, heavy stock pay). Use for 'has SOFI diluted shareholders?', 'what happened to the price after the last offering?', 'is a share sale likely?'.
earnings
get_earnings_calendar
Companies reporting earnings soon, with the date, time (before open / after close) and countdown, joined with recent insider activity. With only_with_insider_buying=true it answers 'which companies reporting soon have insiders been buying?' — insiders buying ahead of a report is a rare and closely watched signal. Also use for 'when does X report?' (pass tickers=['X'], only_with_insider_buying=false).
emerging
find_emerging_insider_buying
Spot insider buying EARLY: companies where fewer than 5 different insiders bought in the window but the pace is rising (more buyers or more dollars recently than earlier), versus 'crowded' companies where 5+ insiders already bought. Explains exactly how 'rising' is measured. Use for 'which stocks have early, increasing insider buying that is not crowded yet?', 'emerging insider signals'.
financials
get_financials
A company's fundamentals from its SEC filings (10-Q/10-K): market cap, P/E, price/sales, dividend yield, 12-month revenue and net income with year-over-year growth (growing / flat / declining, accelerating or slowing), margins, free cash flow, cash, debt, cash runway, stock-based pay, and a quarter-by-quarter table of revenue, net income and EPS with YoY change for each quarter. Use for 'is revenue growing?', 'what's the P/E?', 'does it pay a dividend?', 'is it profitable?', 'show the last 8 quarters'.
fund
get_fund_holdings
A fund's latest SEC Form 13F portfolio: total value, number of positions, top holdings with % of portfolio, and what changed vs the quarter before: new positions, positions sold out, biggest adds and biggest cuts. Use for 'what did Berkshire buy last quarter?', 'top holdings of Bridgewater', 'did Ark sell Tesla?'.
institutional
get_institutional_ownership
Who owns a stock, from SEC Form 13F filings by investment managers (hedge funds, mutual funds, banks, pensions with $100M+): number of institutional holders, share of the company they hold, top holders with their stake and quarter-over-quarter change, and how many funds opened, added, cut or sold out. Analyst and Edge also get the lists of new funds, sold-out funds, biggest adds and biggest cuts. Use for 'who owns PLTR?', 'are funds buying or selling NVDA?', 'top institutional holders', 'did hedge funds add last quarter?'.
manage
manage_watchlist
The user's CapitalSnitch watchlist (Edge plan, up to 25 tickers). Watchlist companies get INSTANT EMAIL ALERTS (insider buys, big insider sales, new stock offerings; ~30 minutes after the SEC filing) and lead the daily email briefing. Use for 'alert me when insiders buy NVDA', 'add PLTR and SOFI to my watchlist', 'what am I watching?', 'stop alerting me about TSLA'. Never counts toward the daily limit.
market
get_market_context
Current U.S. market backdrop in one call: market regime (calm uptrend / uptrend under stress / downtrend / panic / recovery, from the S&P 500 trend and VIX), VIX level and percentile, Fed funds rate, 2y and 10y Treasury yields, yield-curve shape, and the next Fed (FOMC) meetings with days until each and the market-implied odds of a cut, hold or hike. Use for 'what's the market backdrop?', 'when is the next Fed meeting?', 'odds of a rate cut?'.
payment
check_payment
Has the payment arrived and is the plan active? For crypto, pass order_id: shows waiting / seen on the network / confirmed. For card, omit it: shows the account's current plan. Free to call.
start
start_signup
Create a CapitalSnitch account — or sign back in and get a new connection address — entirely from the chat, no website needed. Step 1 of 2: emails the user a 6-digit code. Then ask the user for the code and call confirm_signup(email, code). Before calling, ask the user which plan they want (Free, Scout $29, Analyst $39, Edge $49 per month; yearly = 2 months free, one-time, never auto-renews) and, for a paid plan, card or crypto. The user must agree to the key terms first: call once without user_accepted_terms to get them, show them, and only after an explicit 'yes' set user_accepted_terms=true. Free to call.

CapitalSnitch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CapitalSnitch do?
It exposes 27 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: about_capitalsnitch, buy_plan, check_payment, confirm_signup, find_emerging_insider_buying, find_insider_buying and 21 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is CapitalSnitch mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around insider and account. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is CapitalSnitch working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 563 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect CapitalSnitch?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does CapitalSnitch need an API key?
No. CapitalSnitch completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 27 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is CapitalSnitch?
It answers our handshake in 563 ms on average, which is faster than 20% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
