I built a self-hosted open-source MCP server that gives any local LLM real financial data — SEC filings, 13F, insider & congressional trades, short data, FRED

One thing missing when running local models as agents: real, current data. So I built Equibles — a self-hosted MCP server that scrapes and serves public U.S. financial data and exposes it as MCP tools, so any MCP-capable client (Claude Code/Desktop, Cursor, or your own local-model agent loop) can query it directly. No cloud dependency, no API keys, no telemetry — it all runs on your machine. What it serves: * SEC filings (10-K/10-Q/8-K) with full-text search * 13F institutional holdings, insider (Form 3/4) and congressional trades * FINRA short volume / short interest, SEC fails-to-deliver * FRED economic indicators, CFTC futures positioning, CBOE VIX/put-call * Daily prices + technical indicators I'm the developer. Feedback and feature suggestions are very welcome. Repo: [https://github.com/daniel3303/Equibles](https://github.com/daniel3303/Equibles) (leave a star if you liked it :) )
