Research any financial advisor with official SEC data

The AdvisorFinder MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT look up SEC-registered financial advisors using official regulatory data. Ask about an advisor by name — no CRD number needed — and get registration status, disclosure history status, work history, exams and credentials, plus firm-level details like advisory fees and assets under management.

What's in the data

213,000+ adviser representatives
Active reps at SEC-registered firms, with employment history, exams, registered states, and self-reported designations.
15,000+ SEC-registered firms
Size, client types, fee arrangements, ADV-filed fee structures, branch locations, and prior names.
16,000+ state-registered firms
Reduced profiles for state-registered advisory firms.
Disclosure status
Four-state disclosure status per advisor, derived from the SEC roster flag.

Honest limitations

  • Disclosure detail is deliberately not republished. We show whether an advisor has disclosures on record and how many; for the events themselves we link to FINRA BrokerCheck. Never treat "has disclosures" as automatically disqualifying — or "none reported" as a guarantee.
  • Advisor rosters cover SEC-registered firms. Most state-registered firms (small RIAs) don't have individual advisor records here — an empty roster means "not covered," not "nobody works there."
  • Designations (CFP®, CFA, etc.) are self-reported in regulatory filings and not independently verified.
  • Fee data is extracted from ADV brochures and may be estimated — always confirm current fees with the firm.
  • Data is refreshed from SEC bulk filings; each response carries its data_as_of vintage.
