Give Your AI Access to Every Insider Trade (Including Congress)
Every corporate insider, a CEO, CFO, or director, has to file their trades with the SEC. Every member of Congress has to disclose theirs too. It's all public, it's just buried. This connects it to Claude so you can read all of it in plain English for free. This is public data and an educational read, not financial advice.
What this actually does
Three things, all from public records:
- Corporate insiders (CEOs, CFOs, directors): the biggest buys, the cluster buys, and who's dumping, straight from their SEC filings.
- Members of Congress (Pelosi and the rest): their disclosed trades, by ticker and date.
- Optional and advanced: if you connect your brokerage, Claude can flag big moves and mirror them, but only with your approval, never on its own.
It's all public data anyone can look up. This is an educational way to read it faster. It is not financial advice, and copying anyone's trades is risky.
Step 1: Plug the insider feed into Claude (2 minutes, free)
This uses the free, open-source OpenInsider MCP, which reads SEC Form 4 corporate-insider filings. No API key, no paid account.
Claude Desktop: open your config (Settings, then Developer, then Edit Config), paste this in, and restart Claude.
Claude Code: one line instead, claude mcp add openinsider -- npx -y openinsider-mcp.
{
"mcpServers": {
"openinsider": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "openinsider-mcp"] }
}
}Step 2: Ask it about corporate insiders
Now just talk to it. Start with these three.
Show me the biggest insider buys filed this week, ranked, and tell me who's buying (CEO, CFO, director, 10% owner), the ticker, the share count, and the exact price they paid.
Now show me every cluster buy, where 2 or more insiders at the same company bought recently. That's the strongest signal on the site.
Is anyone dumping [TICKER]? Pull the recent insider sells and tell me if insiders are net buying or net selling.Step 3: Track Congress (Pelosi and friends)
The OpenInsider MCP is corporate insiders only. Congressional trades are disclosed separately under the STOCK Act, so for those you point Claude at Capitol Trades, the free public tracker (Claude reads it in your browser).
Go to Capitol Trades and pull [politician]'s latest disclosed trades. List the ticker, buy or sell, the date, and the amount range, newest first.Step 4: Turn it into a daily radar
Have Claude watch all of it for you and brief you every morning, so you never miss a move.
Build a scheduled task that runs every morning: scan for new insider buys over $1M and any new cluster buys, plus the newest disclosed trades from the members of Congress on my list, and send me a short plain-English brief. Watchlist: [your tickers + politicians].Step 5 (advanced): mirror it through your brokerage
This is the part from the end of the video, and it's the riskiest, so read the disclaimer below first. If you connect the Robinhood MCP, Claude can take the radar a step further: flag unusual insider or Congress activity and place the trade for you, but only after you approve each one. It never trades on its own.

Read this before you copy anyone
This is public data and an educational demo, not financial advice. Insiders and members of Congress can be wrong, late, or trading for reasons that have nothing to do with you, and their filings are often days old by the time you see them. Copy-trading is risky and you can lose money. If you connect a brokerage, Claude only ever places a trade after you approve it, never automatically. Do your own research, and never invest money you can't afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The OpenInsider MCP is open-source and free (no API key), and Capitol Trades for Congress is free too. It all reads free public records.
No. You paste one small config block into Claude and restart it (or run a single command in Claude Code). Then you just chat with it.
Yes, but not through the OpenInsider MCP (that's corporate insiders only). Congressional trades are disclosed under the STOCK Act, so Claude pulls those from Capitol Trades. Same idea, different public source.
It's the opposite of secret. Insiders and Congress are legally required to disclose these trades publicly. This just reads the disclosures for you. It is not insider tips.
No. It's an educational way to see public filings in plain English. Copying trades is risky, do your own research, and never invest money you can't afford to lose.
