Use Insidewell MCP with Cline

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

Click the MCP Servers icon in Cline's toolbar, open Configure and click Configure MCP Servers.
Add the server under "mcpServers" with "type": "streamableHttp" and save.
Check that the server is enabled and lists its tools.
Every tool here is read-only, so you can add tool names to "autoApprove" if you want Cline to run them without asking.

Add to cline_mcp_settings.json::

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "insidewell-api": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://insidewell-api.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cline",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

With a paid key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "insidewell-api": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://insidewell-api.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cline",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_KEY"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

The settings file is local to your machine; do not paste it into a shared repository with the key in it.

Where it goes:

cline_mcp_settings.json: in the IDE, click the MCP Servers icon › Configure › Configure MCP Servers
CLI: ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

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

The field is "type" (not "transportType") and the approval list is "autoApprove".
Set "type": "streamableHttp" explicitly; "sse" is the legacy transport.
The free tier has a daily limit (see the pricing line above); a paid key raises it.
