Overview

FDIC BankFind MCP Server - (Unofficial) MCP

This unofficial MCP server exposes the FDIC BankFind API - institution demographics, failures, structure changes, branch locations, and deposit summaries - across all endpoints except /financials. Use it for US bank research, compliance automation, or fintech prototyping. It's an unofficial community project and doesn't cover the /financials endpoint due to schema complexity.

What it does

FDIC BankFind MCP Server (Unofficial) provides access to the FDIC BankFind API for structured US banking data, covering institution demographics, historical bank failures, structure-change events, branch locations, deposit summaries, and year-over-year historical aggregates. It supports filtering, pagination, sorting, and field selection, with output in JSON, CSV, or XML and the ability to download results as files. Every FDIC BankFind endpoint is implemented except /financials, which was left out because its schema complexity exceeds Rust compiler limits.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use this when researching US banks and financial institutions - demographic profiles, historical failure records, branch footprints, deposit summaries - for LLM-driven research, financial compliance/reporting automation, fintech dashboards, or academic/market research prototyping. Because /financials isn't implemented, this server cannot answer questions requiring detailed bank financial statements from that specific endpoint - only the other data categories are covered. It is an unofficial, community-built project (noted as built in a "vibe coding" style with AI assistance), so treat it as a convenient wrapper rather than an FDIC-endorsed integration.

Capabilities

  • get_demographics - demographic summaries
  • get_failures - historical bank failures
  • get_history - structure-change events
  • get_institutions - institution demographics
  • get_locations - branch locations
  • get_sod - summary of deposits
  • get_summary - historical aggregates by year

All tools accept common parameters: api_key, filters, fields, limit, offset, sort_by, sort_order, file_format, file_download, file_name.

How to install

Via Docker (recommended):

docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/clafollett/fdic-bank-find-mcp-server:main

Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fdic-bank-find": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/YOUR-ORG/fdic-bank-find-mcp-server:main"]
    }
  }
}

Or build from source with Cargo (Rust): cargo build --release.

Who it's for

Researchers, fintech developers, and compliance/reporting teams who need structured US bank data - demographics, failures, locations, deposits - accessible to an LLM agent, and who don't need the detailed financial-statement data from the unimplemented /financials endpoint.
