    How to connect trades to Claude

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.

    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    search_tradesSearch disclosed trades by person, ticker, branch, role (Senate/House/title), buy/sell, conflict flag, minimum dollar amount, and date window. Returns newest first.
    get_person_tradesAll disclosed trades for a named member of Congress or executive-branch official.
    get_ticker_activityWhich officials have disclosed trades in a given ticker.
    list_recent_tradesThe most recently disclosed trades — newest first. Accepts the same branch/role/since/until/type filters as search_trades so an agent can scope to a chamber or window in one call.
    list_conflictsTrades flagged as a potential conflict (company sector overlaps the official's committee or agency). Accepts branch/role/since/until filters.
    aggregatesSummary stats over the filtered set: totals, branch split, most-active officials, top tickers bought/sold (per individual stock), top sectors bought/sold, potential conflict count, date range. Accepts the same branch/role/since/until/type/ticker filters as search — pass branch=congress + role=Senate + since=YYYY-MM-DD to scope. Use this BEFORE paginating search_trades when you only need ranked counts.
