FinTech Studios, Inc. (FTS) (fintechstudios.com), an AI-native market and regulatory intelligence platform serving more than 1 million active users, today announced the general availability of the FinTech Studios Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector for Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT.

The Model Context Protocol, introduced by Anthropic, is an open standard that allows AI assistants to connect securely to external data sources and tools. Connectors of this type let an assistant retrieve information from an external service at the time of a query and present the results with citations. That query-time retrieval is significant for market and regulatory news, where a useful answer depends on surfacing current, sourced material rather than relying solely on what a model was trained on. The FinTech Studios connector is now listed in the official connector directories of both Claude and ChatGPT, and it can also be added to the Claude for Financial Advisors suite of tools. Once users connect the FinTech Studios connector in a few clicks, they can work with FTS market and regulatory intelligence directly inside the AI assistants they already use. For a platform that directly serves more than 1 million active users, placement in the directories of two assistants that together reach well over a billion active users represents a step-change in potential distribution.

The connector carries the core of the FinTech Studios intelligence platform into these assistants. That platform includes real-time and historical news drawn from millions of global public sources in more than 100 languages, along with market intelligence, regulatory intelligence, and more than 11 years of historical depth spanning 2.4 billion structured documents and metadata records.

Within a conversation, users can search that corpus in natural language and receive sourced answers with linked citations. They can also track trending companies, people and industries; gather cited source material that the assistant turns into executive summaries; and access saved collections, insight channels and daily briefs without leaving the chat. The connector is free to connect and includes a free tier, with additional usage available through paid credits.

Built for How People Now

Financial professionals, investors, compliance teams, researchers and business users increasingly begin their work inside an AI assistant, and the FinTech Studios MCP connector is designed to bring trusted, sourced intelligence into that workflow. A portfolio manager can ask Claude for a briefing on overnight developments in a sector and receive a cited summary built on FinTech Studios content. A compliance officer can ask ChatGPT which regulatory changes affect a given business line and get a sourced, cited update. A research analyst can see which companies are gaining momentum in the news and drill into the underlying articles within seconds.

Core capabilities available through the connector include:

• Natural-language search across FinTech Studios' news, market and regulatory database, with source citations
• Trending stories and trending entities with momentum scoring
• On-demand, cited topic summaries and personalized daily briefs
• Saved collections and insight channels that deliver AI-generated analysis

Every tool in the connector is read-only, which means it never creates, changes or sends anything in a user's account.

“The way people discover and act on information has changed. It now happens inside Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants, and this launch puts FinTech Studios exactly where that work is happening,” said Jim Tousignant, Founder and CEO of FinTech Studios. “Claude and ChatGPT together reach well over a billion active users. For the first time, every one of them can connect directly to the depth of FinTech Studios market and regulatory intelligence we have spent more than a decade building. That is an enormous market opportunity for FinTech Studios, and it is only the beginning. It already works with any MCP-compatible tool, and we plan to bring the FinTech Studios connector to Google and other leading AI platforms soon, so our intelligence is available wherever people choose to work.”

“We built this connector the right way, following MCP best practices from the ground up,” said Russell Stohr, Chief Revenue Officer of FinTech Studios. “That means industry-standard OAuth 2.1 sign-in, so a user's FinTech Studios API key never passes through the AI assistant; clearly defined, read-only tools the AI can reliably reason about; and structured results that always carry linked citations to their sources. The result is that FinTech Studios' news and regulatory intelligence, trending signals, collections, insight channels and daily briefs are now available inside Claude and ChatGPT. Users can combine the reasoning power of these models with FinTech Studios content to solve a wide range of problems seamlessly, from a quick market check to a full research workflow, in a single conversation.”

According to the company, the connector already works with any MCP-compatible tool, and FinTech Studios plans to bring it to Google and other leading AI platforms so that its intelligence is available wherever people choose to work. For readers tracking how the MCP ecosystem develops, those stated expansion plans are the most concrete near-term markers of how far this distribution strategy extends beyond the two launch assistants.
