Use Insidewell MCP with Claude Code

Insider trading API + MCP: SEC Form 4 buys/sells, cluster buys. Keys $19/mo; 100 free/day.

Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP), nothing to install. Free: 100 free/day · Paid: Keys $19/mo

Set it up

Run the command in your terminal (add --scope user to use it in every project, or --scope project to write .mcp.json).
Start Claude Code and type /mcp to see the server and its tools.
Ask a question the tools can answer; Claude Code asks permission before each tool call unless you allow it.

Run:

claude mcp add --transport http insidewell-api 'https://insidewell-api.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-claude-code'

Or share it with your team in .mcp.json (project scope)::

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "insidewell-api": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://insidewell-api.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-claude-code"
    }
  }
}

With a paid key:

claude mcp add --transport http insidewell-api 'https://insidewell-api.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-claude-code' \
  --header "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY"

In .mcp.json, ${CYBERMAX_API_KEY} is read from the environment so the key is not committed.

Where it goes:

stored by the CLI: local scope (default, you in this project), project scope (.mcp.json, shared), user scope (you, every project)

Tools you get

Endpoint checked 2026-10-09: https://insidewell-api.cybermaxtools.com/mcp answered an MCP initialize (protocol 2025-06-18) and tools/list with 3 tools, all marked read-only. No key was used and no tool was called.

Tool	What it does	Required inputs
`insider_trades`	Latest insider transactions from SEC Form 4 filings (EDGAR, refreshed about once a minute), newest filed first, up to 100 rows: ticker, insider, role, code (P buy, S sale, ...), shares, price, dollar value, dates and the filing link. Defaults to open-market buys and sales filed in the last 7 days.	none
`cluster_buys`	Companies where 2+ different insiders bought the stock on the open market within 7 days (window, minimum insiders and minimum dollars adjustable), with each insider, total dollars and filing links.	none
`data_status`	When Insidewell last pulled new Form 4 filings from EDGAR and which filed dates it covers.	none

Test the endpoint from a terminal

This lists the tools without a key and without calling any of them:

curl -s https://insidewell-api.cybermaxtools.com/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

If it does not work

If a project-scoped server does not load, Claude Code asks you to approve servers from .mcp.json the first time.
The free tier has a daily limit (see the pricing line above); a paid key raises it.
