Use InsiderAlpha to show recent insider purchases for AAPL and include the SEC filing sources.The assistant should use InsiderAlpha tools and return filing sources. If it does not, check that InsiderAlpha is enabled in that conversation.
A free account connects and gets every read-only research tool. It reads the daily trading plan on the free delay, the same as on the site; paid plans read each plan before the open. Portfolio access and real trading each need a separate permission. You can review or disconnect assistants in AI access settings.

Scopes
Research access is the default. Everything that touches your money is a separate decision.
| Scope | Unlocks | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
mcp:read | All 13 research and market tools. | Granted on every connection, free accounts included. |
mcp:portfolio | Your holdings, P&L and trade journal. | Opt in when you connect. |
mcp:trade | The 5 trading tools. Real money. | Not part of a free account, and not sold online: it needs a broker account connected to InsiderAlpha, which we arrange with you directly. After that it is two more steps: turn on AI trading under MCP and AI Access, then confirm on the consent screen shown while connecting. If the account setting is off, the scope is dropped and the rest of the connection still works. |
All 19 tools are advertised to every client whatever scopes you granted, and the scope is checked when a tool is called rather than when the list is built. So a trading tool appearing in your client is not evidence that it can trade. If you did not grant the scope, the call is refused.
Limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Requests per minute, per user | 60 |
| Market data, charts and trading plans, per minute | 10 |
| Calls per month, per user | 5,000, the same on every plan |
| OAuth sign-in validity before silent renewal | 1 hour, renewing for up to 30 days |
The rate limits and the monthly quota are there to protect the server. They apply per user and are the same on every plan, so paying does not raise them.
Access and privacy
Research tools read public SEC data. Portfolio and trading access are separate opt-ins, and any token or connector can be revoked at any time from your settings. Revoking a Personal Access Token takes effect within about a minute; disconnecting an OAuth session stops it renewing, and the session it already holds expires within the hour.
InsiderAlpha returns SEC filing data and research output. It is informational and is not investment advice, and nothing it returns is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. You are responsible for every order placed from your own account.
