Why AlphaSMO
- ๐ 13F institutional holdings โ every hedge fund and asset manager's quarterly SEC filings: AUM, positions, and behavioral "personality scores" (concentration, turnover, sector conviction).
- ๐ต๏ธ Insider trading (Form 4) โ officer/director/10%-owner buys and sells, with a confidence score per ticker.
- ๐ Smart money convergence โ the flagship signal: tickers where 13F institutions and company insiders are both buying right now.
- ๐ค Built for AI agents โ an MCP server out of the box, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client can pull real financial data mid-conversation.
- ๐ Free anonymous tier โ no signup required to try it; get a free API key any time to raise your rate limit.
Use cases
"What is smart money buying right now?" โ alphasmo convergence
"What does Berkshire Hathaway hold?" โ alphasmo institutions holdings berkshire-hathaway-inc
"Are insiders buying or selling NVDA?" โ alphasmo insider summary NVDA
"Which stocks are institutions dumping?" โ alphasmo stocks flows --direction sell
Wire the MCP server into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client (see below) and ask these in plain English โ no code required.
CLI
npx alphasmo institutions search "Berkshire"
npx alphasmo stocks get AAPL
npx alphasmo convergence -l 5
No install step required โ npx fetches and runs it. Or install globally:
npm install -g alphasmo
alphasmo --help
Commands
| Command | What it returns |
|---|
alphasmo institutions search <query> [-l|--limit] | Search 13F institutions by name |
alphasmo institutions list [-l|--limit] [-o|--offset] | Paginate the full institution universe (no query) |
alphasmo institutions get <slug> | Full institution detail, sector weights |
alphasmo institutions holdings <slug> | Latest 13F holdings for one institution |
alphasmo stocks get <identifier> | Full stock detail โ holder count, flows, top holders (identifier = ticker or CUSIP) |
alphasmo stocks flows [-d|--direction buy|sell] [-l|--limit] | Stocks ranked by net institutional buy/sell flow |
alphasmo insider trades <ticker> | Recent individual Form 4 insider trades for one ticker |
alphasmo insider summary <ticker> | Insider confidence scores (30d/90d) for one ticker |
alphasmo convergence [-l|--limit] [--min-confidence] [--days] | Tickers where 13F institutions and insiders are both buying โ the flagship signal |
alphasmo mcp | Start the MCP server over stdio |
Global flags on every command: --api-key <key> (env ALPHASMO_API_KEY), --base-url <url> (env ALPHASMO_BASE_URL), -f/--format json|compact|table|csv, --json (shorthand for --format json), --csv (shorthand for --format csv).
Output format auto-detects your context โ no flag needed in the common case:
- Typed directly in a terminal โ a readable table, with numbers comma-formatted (
263,095,703,570).
- Piped, redirected, or spawned by a script/AI agent (stdout isn't a TTY) โ JSON, safe to pipe into
jq or feed to an agent.
--format/--json/--csv always override the auto-detection either way.
alphasmo stocks flows --csv > flows.csv
alphasmo insider trades AAPL --csv | column -s, -t
Errors go to stderr with a distinct exit code (2 not found, 3 auth, 4 rate limit, 5 unexpected response shape, 1 other), so scripts can branch without string-matching.
Get an API key
Anonymous requests are rate-limited by IP. Sign up and mint a free key at alphasmo.com/developer, then:
alphasmo convergence --api-key ask_live_...
export ALPHASMO_API_KEY=ask_live_...
MCP server
Option 1: claude mcp add (recommended)
If you're using Claude Code, register the server with one command:
claude mcp add alphasmo -- npx -y alphasmo@latest mcp
Add -e ALPHASMO_API_KEY=ask_live_... before the -- to raise your rate limit. Run claude mcp list to confirm it's connected.
Option 2: manual MCP client config
For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client, add this to your config file directly:
{
"mcpServers": {
"alphasmo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["alphasmo", "mcp"],
"env": { "ALPHASMO_API_KEY": "optional-your-key-here" }
}
}
}
Both options work anonymously out of the box, at lower rate limits than with a key. Tools exposed: search_institutions, get_institution_profile, get_institution_holdings, get_stock_overview, get_stock_flows, get_insider_activity, get_smart_money_convergence.
Full endpoint reference: alphasmo.com/developer/docs.
Programmatic use
import { AlphasmoClient } from "alphasmo";
const client = new AlphasmoClient();
console.log(await client.getSmartMoneyConvergence({ limit: 5 }));
A Python client + MCP server is also available โ see alphasmo.com/developer for setup.
