Equibles: Self-Hosted MCP Server for U.S. Financial Data – SEC Filings, 13F, Insider Trades, FRED

Running local models as agents often means lacking current, real-world data. Equibles is a self-hosted, open-source MCP server that fills that gap by scraping and serving public U.S. financial data directly to MCP-capable clients — no cloud dependency, no API keys, no telemetry.
What It Serves
- SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) with full-text search
- 13F institutional holdings and insider trades (Form 3/4)
- Congressional trades
- FINRA short volume / short interest
- SEC fails-to-deliver
- FRED economic indicators
- CFTC futures positioning
- CBOE VIX and put-call ratios
- Daily prices + technical indicators
The data is exposed as MCP tools, so any MCP-capable client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your own local-model agent loop) can query it directly. Everything runs on your machine.
Getting Started
Clone the repo and follow the setup instructions:
git clone https://github.com/daniel3303/Equibles cd Equibles # Follow README for configuration and running
No API keys needed — it scrapes public sources. Ideal for developers who want to give their local LLM agents real-time financial data without sending queries to third-party APIs.
