FinTech Studios Launches MCP Connector 1.1 Enhancing AI Assistant Capabilities

FinTech Studios, a leading AI-native market and regulatory intelligence platform, has launched MCP Connector 1.1, enhancing its existing AI assistant integration. This new version transforms AI assistants like Claude, Perplexity, and ChatGPT from mere research tools into active market and regulatory agents.

MCP Connector 1.0, introduced earlier, integrated FinTech Studios’ cited financial and regulatory intelligence into popular AI assistants. Users could search a global news archive, the open web, and trending markets, with every claim linked to its source. Version 1.1 builds on this foundation by enabling users to set up personal collections, market and regulatory monitoring, and cited AI daily briefs.

With MCP Connector 1.1, users can now create a collection to track a topic, portfolio, regulator, or prediction market. They can refine what the collection tracks, schedule an AI-written analysis, and add that analysis to their personalized daily brief. For instance, an advisor can research a market sell-off at 10 a.m. and have a scheduled AI analysis in their morning brief the next day, without opening another application.

The new version is built with the controls that regulated institutions expect. The AI assistant asks the user to confirm every change before it is made, and the connector can only create and update items. It cannot delete anything or send anything on the user’s behalf. This ensures that users maintain full control over their data and actions.

The new capabilities are designed for various professional use cases. For portfolio managers and wealth advisors, an advisor can set up a stock-portfolio collection, schedule a weekly trend analysis, and add it to their morning brief. For compliance teams, a regulatory watch can be set up on SEC crypto enforcement in the U.S., summarized each weekday at 7 a.m. in the Regulatory Compliance Analyst format. For strategists and research analysts, a prediction-markets collection can be set up on Fed rate odds with a daily executive summary.

Version 1.1 is available now through three channels: hosted connector for Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible assistants at mcp.fintechstudios.com/mcp; the official MCP Registry, listed as com.fintechstudios/studio; and npm, for developers running the connector locally with an API key: @fts-studio/studio-mcp. Usage draws on the user’s FinTech Studios credits on any plan, including Free. Scheduled analyses consume credits each time they run.

Founded in 2015 and based in New York, FinTech Studios combines a global news archive, open-web coverage, and AI analysis to deliver cited, real-time intelligence on companies, markets, and regulation. Its products, including FTS Studio, PowerIntell.AI, Apollo Pro, and RegLens Pro, are delivered through web applications, APIs, AI-generated newsletters, and MCP connectors for leading AI assistants.
