MCP server

Clarifo as a financial research tool in ChatGPT and Claude — SEC EDGAR and Nordic filings inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any MCP client.

The Clarifo MCP server exposes the same Nordic + US filings dataset that powers the Data API, but as Model Context Protocol tools instead of REST endpoints. Connect it once and your AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude on the web, Cursor, or any MCP client — can search filings, pull financials, compare companies, screen the universe, and cite every number back to a source page.

Endpoint

The server speaks streamable HTTP at a single URL:

MCP URL
https://mcp.clarifo.com/mcp

Authentication is OAuth 2.1 — there are no clf_ keys to paste. On first connection your client opens a browser, you sign in with the same account you use on clarifo.com, and the client stores the grant. Works with any MCP client that supports OAuth.

For headless integrations that cannot run an interactive sign-in, the server also accepts a Data API key as a bearer token (Authorization: Bearer clf_...). API keys come with the Pro and Enterprise plans; see Authentication.

No account yet? Pick Start your 7-day free trial on that sign-in screen. You create the account, start the trial at Stripe Checkout (card required, EUR 0 today, cancel anytime before the first charge), and are returned to your MCP client with the connector live.

Connect

Claude (web & desktop)

Clarifo is in Anthropic's Connectors Directory, so no URL paste is needed:

  1. Open the Clarifo listing in the directory.
  2. Click Connect.
  3. Sign in with your Clarifo account when the OAuth window appears.

Claude remembers the connection; Clarifo's tools then appear automatically and are called whenever your question needs data. The same link works on Claude for web, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android — the connector is stored per-account, not per-device.

Config file (Cursor & others)

Clients that read a JSON config use the same URL with auth: "oauth":

Claude Desktop
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clarifo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.clarifo.com/mcp",
      "auth": "oauth"
    }
  }
}

Restart the client after editing the config. The first request triggers the OAuth login.

Plans & limits

MCP access is bundled with the paid plans — there is no separate signup, and normal use is not metered.

PlanToolsFair-use cap
StandardAll data tools3,000 calls / 30 days
ProAll tools, incl. the four below20,000 calls / 30 days
TeamAll tools, incl. the four below (every seat)40,000 calls / 30 days
EnterpriseAll data toolsper contract

A 7-day Pro trial has a cap of 20,000 calls and includes the four tools below. A Standard trial keeps the Standard cap and does not include them.

Every plan also has a burst cap of 120 calls per minute, which stops bulk extraction and is far above what an assistant does in a conversation.

Four capabilities run Clarifo's own AI and are gated to Pro (and Team seats): document_summary, answer_reporting_standards, the narrated brief of intelligence (op="brief") and score_ceo_sentiment_for_company. Everything else is available on Standard, including the other intelligence operations.

What the AI can call

The model chooses the right tool from your question; you do not call these directly. The catalog mirrors the Data API plus several AI-native composites:

AreaTools
Companiesresolve_entities (names / tickers to canonical companies), discover_companies (by business profile), get_sector_peer_set
Filingssearch_filings (also mode="calendar" for scheduled report dates and mode="season" for how an earnings season is going), search_filing_content (RAG, incl. index="sp500" and include_adjacent_pages; falls back to keyword search when a company's pages are not in the semantic index yet), get_filing_snapshot (include_text for the full page text, highlight to open the page at a cited figure), fetch_edgar_filing_on_demand (US fallback)
Financialsget_company_financials, get_financial_statement, compare_companies, get_company_profile, get_company_snapshot, research_company, dd_quickscan (pre-due-diligence pack)
Segments (US)get_segment_financials (one company with the segments it reports, or 2-5 side by side), screen_segments
Screeningscreen_companies, screen_companies_multi, screen_quality_growers, screen_metric_trend
Geographyget_revenue_geography
Valuation & analyticsvalue_company (DCF / reverse DCF / implied expectations / multiples), get_valuation_history, get_industry_valuation_benchmark, forecast_financials, detect_inflection_points, get_stock_price
US filings datacompany_events (8-K), governance (DEF 14A proxy), insider_activity (Form 4), ownership (13F)
Signalsintelligence (anomaly signals; the narrated op="brief" is Pro), get_ceo_barometer, score_ceo_sentiment_for_company (Pro)
Documents & standardsdocument_summary (Pro, single / compare), answer_reporting_standards (Pro, IFRS / US GAAP / local GAAP), reporting_change (IASB / EFRAG projects)
Outputgenerate_visual_cards, get_visual_cards_guide, render_chart (PNG fallback)
Workspacelist_workspace_items, get_workspace_item

Every read tool returns page_id values; get_filing_snapshot resolves each into a viewable page render (Nordic) or a SEC EDGAR link (US) for audit-grade citations.

Example prompts

Once connected, ask in natural language:

  • "Compare NVIDIA and AMD data-center segment revenue and gross margin across the last four quarters."
  • "Get Nokia Q1 2026 revenue and compare it to Ericsson for the same quarter."
  • "Summarize the AI risk factors in Microsoft's latest 10-K and compare them to Alphabet's."
  • "List S&P 500 software companies with revenue growth above 20% and FCF margin above 25% in 2025."

Troubleshooting
