canli-mcp / Insider trades

How do I see insider trading (Form 4 filings) with an AI agent?

canli-mcp's insider_trades tool reads a company's Form 4 filings from SEC EDGAR: who traded, buy or sell, shares, price and what they hold after, each linked to its filing. planned_insider_sales adds the sales announced ahead on Form 144.

Ask it

Who at NVIDIA has bought or sold shares lately?

The agent finds the tool through canli-mcp's find_tool and runs it through run_tool. This is the call:

  "name": "insider_trades",
  "arguments": {
    "company": "NVDA",
    "max_filings": 10
