FactSet MCP server (AI-Ready Data)

OfficialRemote
Gethttps://mcp.factset.com/content/v1Docs

Lets your AI assistant pull FactSet financials, estimates, prices, ownership and transcripts, within what your firm's FactSet plan covers.

This is FactSet's own server, and it is meant for people whose firm already pays for FactSet. It lets Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants look up company financials, estimates, prices, ownership, deals, transcripts and news straight from FactSet. It only reads data, and each answer can link back to the FactSet source. What you can reach depends on your firm's FactSet plan, so some datasets may be missing for you.

Good for

  • Analysts at firms with a FactSet subscription who want answers in Claude or ChatGPT without opening the terminal
  • Equity research teams preparing earnings briefs from results, guidance and call transcripts
  • Bankers and corporate development teams screening companies and checking M&A history
  • Fund and fixed income teams looking up holdings, fund data, bond terms and prices
  • Data and AI teams wiring licensed FactSet data into their firm's AI tools

Install FactSet MCP

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the FactSet MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    claude mcp add --transport http factset https://mcp.factset.com/content/v1
    
    Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Sign-in with the vendor account (OAuth), A FactSet account at a firm that licenses FactSet data.

Read-only mode: Not needed. Every tool only looks up data, so it cannot change anything in FactSet.

Sign in with your FactSet account when asked. Which datasets you get depends on your firm's FactSet plan; ask your FactSet representative if one is missing. FactSet's docs list this client as supported. Anthropic's financial-services plugin for Claude points to https://mcp.factset.com/mcp on the same host instead; it also asks for FactSet sign-in.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.

Pros and cons

Good

  • Made and run by FactSet, so the data is the same licensed data your firm already uses.
  • It only reads data, so it cannot change anything in FactSet.
  • Answers can include audit links back to the FactSet source.
  • One server covers fundamentals, estimates, prices, ownership, deals, funds, bonds, transcripts and news.
  • You sign in with your FactSet account, with no key to copy.
  • FactSet lists it in both Claude's connector directory and ChatGPT's app directory.

Watch out

  • You need a FactSet subscription, and there is no public price.
  • What you can reach depends on your firm's data tier, and some datasets sit in a Premium package.
  • Transcripts, news and filings only go back to 2022.
  • Your firm's rules on sending licensed data to AI tools still apply.

Permissions

low risk · 3 things to watch

Low risk

It cannot change anything in FactSet, but it does send your firm's licensed data into the AI chat you connect it to. Check your FactSet contract and your firm's AI policy before you use it with a personal or consumer AI plan.

What it can do

Watch out for

  • Licensed data goes into your AI chat

    Answers are sent to whichever AI client you connect. Confirm your firm allows FactSet data in that tool before you start. factset.com

  • You only see what your firm pays for

    Tools and their descriptions change with your firm type and data tier, so a dataset your colleague sees may be missing for you. developer.factset.com

  • It only reads FactSet data

    All 23 tools look up data. None creates, changes or deletes anything in FactSet. developer.factset.com

Security advisories

No published security advisories as of Nov 1, 2026.

Alternatives

What people say

Only FactSet and the financial press have commented so far, with FactSet stressing governed, sourced data and the press asking how firm licensing rules carry over to AI agents.

What people like

  • FactSet's launch release says data comes straight from FactSet with links back to the source, not from a scraped copy.

Common complaints

  • Industry press says vendor licensing rules do not map cleanly onto AI agents acting for a user.

In their words

Questions

What is the FactSet MCP server URL?

https://mcp.factset.com/content/v1, the address in Claude's connector directory. Anthropic's financial-services plugin uses https://mcp.factset.com/mcp on the same host. Both ask you to sign in with FactSet.

Do I need a FactSet subscription?

Yes. The server is for FactSet clients, and it returns only the data your firm's plan includes. To get access, talk to your FactSet account representative.

Is the FactSet MCP server free?

There is no public price. Access comes with your firm's FactSet agreement, and some datasets, such as private company data, sit in a Premium package.

Can it change or delete anything in FactSet?

No. Every tool only looks up data.

Is it safe to use with firm data?

It cannot change anything, but answers go into the AI chat you use. Check that your FactSet contract and your firm's AI policy allow that tool, and prefer your firm's enterprise AI plan.

Why can't I see some datasets?

Your firm type and FactSet data tier decide which tools you get. Ask your FactSet representative if a dataset you need is missing.

How far back does the data go?

Stock prices and debt data go back to 2006. Transcripts, news and filings cover 2022 to today. Industry classification goes back to 2003 in the US and 2011 elsewhere.

Does it work in ChatGPT?

Yes. FactSet publishes the FactSet AI-Ready Data app in ChatGPT's app directory, and you sign in with your FactSet account.

Is this the same as FactSet's Portfolio Analytics MCP?

No. Portfolio Analytics MCP is a separate FactSet server for portfolio performance, attribution and risk. It has been in limited release since June 2026.
