FDIC BankFind MCP Server
fdic-mcp-server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the FDIC BankFind Suite API. It gives LLM hosts a clean way to search FDIC-insured institutions, retrieve public banking records, and run common multi-bank analysis workflows without custom FDIC API plumbing.
It is useful when you want an MCP-compatible client to answer questions about banks, failures, branches, quarterly financials, deposit data, or peer performance using a stable tool surface and machine-readable responses.

Project Status
Active development. The server is usable today and the tool surface is covered by tests, but the project is still evolving as client support and analysis workflows improve.
Why This Project Exists
The FDIC BankFind Suite API is public and useful, but it is not packaged for MCP clients out of the box. This project solves that by:
exposing BankFind datasets as MCP tools
preserving both human-readable and machine-readable responses
adding server-side analysis helpers for multi-bank comparison workflows
supporting both local stdio hosts and remote HTTP hosts

cd fdic-mcp-server
npm install
npm run buildUsage
Hosting
The project-operated public endpoint and website chatbot are retired. Install the server locally or operate your own HTTP deployment. GitHub Pages remains the documentation site. Remote-only clients require a reachable HTTPS endpoint supplied by you or your operator.
Run Locally
Stdio transport:
node dist/index.jsHTTP transport:
TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 node dist/index.jsThe HTTP MCP endpoint is http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp by default.
Notes:
Local HTTP runs bind to
127.0.0.1by default. SetHOSTif you intentionally want a different bind address.Browser-origin requests are checked against
ALLOWED_ORIGINS. If unset, the server allows the local defaults forlocalhostand127.0.0.1on the configured port, plus non-browser requests with noOriginheader.HTTP requests are stateless by default and support MCP
2026-07-28. Each request carries its own protocol metadata; noMCP-Session-Idor instance affinity is required. SDK compatibility handling also serves older clients.ALLOWED_HOSTSaccepts comma-separated hostnames (without schemes or ports). Defaults arelocalhost,127.0.0.1, and[::1]. Add your endpoint hostname for remote deployments; settingHOSTalone does not authorize a hostname.Requests are limited to 100 KiB. Progress updates stream on the originating POST response. Standalone GET streams and DELETE session teardown are no longer supported.
See self-hosting and migration notes for deployment controls and SDK integration changes.
Container builds use PORT=8080 by default for self-hosted containers.
Set FDIC_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES to override the upstream FDIC response-size guard. The default is 5242880 bytes (5 MiB).

fdic_compare_bank_snapshotsCompare Bank Snapshot TrendsARead-onlyIdempotent
Compare FDIC reporting snapshots across a set of institutions and rank the results by growth, profitability, or efficiency changes.
This tool is designed for heavier analytical prompts that would otherwise require many separate MCP calls. It batches institution roster lookup, financial snapshots, optional office-count snapshots, and can also fetch a quarterly time series inside the server.
Good uses:
Identify North Carolina banks with the strongest asset growth from 2021 to 2025
Compare whether deposit growth came with branch expansion or profitability improvement
Rank a specific cert list by ROA, ROE, asset-per-office, or deposit-to-asset changes
Pull a quarterly trend series and highlight inflection points, streaks, and structural shifts
Inputs:
state or certs: choose a geographic roster or provide a direct comparison set
start_repdte, end_repdte: Report Dates (REPDTE) in YYYYMMDD format — must be quarter-end dates (0331, 0630, 0930, 1231)
analysis_mode: snapshot or timeseries
institution_filters: optional extra institution filter when building the roster

fdic_compare_peer_healthCompare Peer Health (CAMELS Rankings)ARead-onlyIdempotent
Compare CAMELS-style health scores across a group of FDIC-insured institutions.
Three usage modes:
Explicit list: provide certs (up to 50) for a specific comparison set
State-wide scan: provide state to compare all active institutions in that state
Asset-based: provide asset_min/asset_max to compare institutions by size
Optionally provide cert to highlight a subject institution's position in the ranking.
Output: structuredContent includes {model, official_status, report_date, institutions, metrics, peer_context, proxy_summary, proxy, deprecations}. Institutions include proxy scores and name_source. When a subject cert is provided, metrics[] is the preferred subject-vs-peer array for new UI bindings and proxy_summary is a flattened subject proxy. peer_context.subject_percentiles is deprecated, remains for backward compatibility, and is targeted for removal only in a future coordinated major release. Auto-peer selection derives asset bands from report-date financials and broadens the cohort if fewer than 10 peers match.
NOTE: Public off-site analytical proxy — not official supervisory ratings.
Inputs: cert, certs, limit, state, +4 more. Returns: model, proxy, metrics, sort_by, +10 more
fdic_detect_risk_signalsDetect Risk Signals (Early Warning)ARead-onlyIdempotent

Standardized signal codes with severity levels:
Critical: capital_undercapitalized (PCA breach), earnings_loss (ROA < 0), reserve_coverage_low (< 50%)
Warning: capital_buffer_erosion, credit_deterioration, credit_deterioration_trending, earnings_pressure, margin_compression, funding_stress, funding_ltd_stretched, rate_risk_proxy_elevated, wholesale_funding_elevated
Info: merger_distorted_trend, stale_reporting_period
Three scan modes:
State-wide: provide state to scan all active institutions
Explicit list: provide certs (up to 50)
Asset-based: provide asset_min/asset_max
Output: Per-institution risk signals ranked by severity count. The proxy engine drives signal generation internally; the output is signal-shaped, not assessment-shaped.
NOTE: Public off-site analytical proxy — not official supervisory ratings.
Inputs: certs, limit, state, repdte, +4 more. Returns: object
fdic_fetchFetch FDIC BankFind ResultARead-onlyIdempotent

TDQS
Scored across 29 tools
The server contains exact duplicate pairs: 'search'/'fdic_search' and 'fetch'/'fdic_fetch' have identical purposes and descriptions. Additionally, many analytical tools (fdic_analyze_bank_health, fdic_analyze_credit_concentration, fdic_ubpr_analysis, fdic_qbp_lite_data) overlap in the financial metrics they expose, making it hard for an agent to select the right one.
Most tools follow a consistent 'fdic_<verb>_<domain>' pattern (fdic_search_institutions, fdic_get_institution), which is readable. However, the unprefixed 'search' and 'fetch' tools break the pattern, and mixing 'search', 'get', 'compare', 'analyze', 'detect', 'show', and standalone nouns like 'fdic_ubpr_analysis' creates noticeable inconsistency.
With 29 tools, this server exceeds the threshold for a well-scoped tool set. Several tools could be consolidated, especially the duplicate fetch/search pairs and the proliferation of single-institution analytical tools that all draw from the same underlying financial data.
The tool set covers the major FDIC BankFind domains well: institutions, failures, branches/locations, history, financials, deposits, demographics, and advanced analytics. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct financial-data fetch by CERT without using a search-style tool, but the overall read-only domain coverage is strong.
