Insider Trading Data API

Three ways to read InsiderAlpha's SEC insider trading data with code or an AI assistant, from zero-setup feeds to authenticated query access.

MCP: query access for AI assistants and scripts

The primary programmatic interface is a hosted Model Context Protocol server at mcp.insideralpha.ai. It exposes 19 tools over the live database: filing search, company and insider profiles, the scored daily trading plan, 8-K catalysts, market data and - with explicit opt-in scopes - your own portfolio and broker orders.

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Codex connect with OAuth in about a minute; scripts and CLIs authenticate with a personal access token (iamcp_...) generated in your account settings. Scopes are least-privilege: read-only by default, portfolio and trading each a separate grant.

Setup guides and the full tool table: MCP documentation. MCP access is included from the Basic plan - see the plans.

Free machine-readable surfaces - no auth at all

  • /feeds/insiders-recent-buys.xml - RSS of the latest open-market insider purchases.
  • /feeds/8k-today.xml - RSS of every SEC Form 8-K filed in the last 36 hours: which company filed and when.
  • /llms-full.txt - the whole public corpus in one document, built for AI crawlers and retrieval pipelines: page inventory, scoring methodology, transaction-code reference and live counters.

These are deliberately unauthenticated. A feed reader, a custom GPT or a cron job can consume them without an account.

What about a raw REST API?

The REST API that powers this site runs at api.insideralpha.ai, but it authenticates app sessions - we do not issue standalone REST API keys today, and this page will not pretend otherwise. For queries, the MCP server is the supported path and speaks plain JSON over HTTP; most HTTP clients can call it directly with a personal access token.

What is in the data

SEC Form 4 filings (deduplicated - a majority of raw filings are duplicates and are marked, not dropped), Form 144 notices,8-K filings cross-referenced against the insider buying that preceded them, insider profiles with enriched biographies and historical performance, company profiles across all 11 GICS sectors, and the scored daily trading plan. Every filing traces back to its EDGAR accession number.
