AlternativeSoft's MCP server turns the analytics engine behind 150+ institutions into tools an AI assistant can call: Hedge fund analytics, portfolio risk, peer group ranking, factor exposure, stress tests and due diligence statistics, computed on your own data, in plain language.
AlternativeSoft MCP is a fund analytics MCP server: A Model Context Protocol connector that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot and any MCP-ready AI agent run AlternativeSoft's analytics on your own data in plain language. It exposes hedge fund analytics, portfolio risk, peer group ranking, factor analysis, stress tests and fund due diligence statistics as tools the assistant can call. The connector is read-only, runs server-hosted for web assistants or locally for desktop tools, and is used by allocators, fund of funds, family offices and asset managers who already work with AlternativeSoft.
Each capability is an MCP tool the assistant can call with your parameters.
Find funds in the database or in your own groups by strategy, size, region, liquidity or any of 4,000+ statistics.
Build the peer group an allocator would use and rank any fund by quartile on each statistic.
Peer group analysisVaR, drawdown, correlation and historical or custom scenarios on a fund or the whole portfolio.
Stress testingFactor exposures, R-squared and residual alpha, including LASSO factor selection.
Style and factor analysisThe quantitative side of fund due diligence: Track record, risk, peer rank and scenario results for any manager under review.
Due diligenceTables and prose grounded in the computed figures, ready for a factsheet, committee memo or client note.

Most financial data connectors in the MCP ecosystem serve equity prices and company fundamentals to a retail audience. AlternativeSoft's connector is built for the institutional alternatives niche: Hedge funds, private equity, private credit, fund of funds, UCITS and multi-asset portfolios, with the statistics allocators use for manager selection and due diligence rather than stock screening.
That focus matters for an AI agent. A question such as "rank this fund against its equity long/short peers on Sharpe, Sortino and maximum drawdown" needs a peer group, a reconciled track record and a consistent statistics engine behind it. The connector supplies all three, which is why the answer can go straight into an investment committee paper.
Everything the assistant returns is computed on your own data by the same engine behind the desktop and cloud platforms. The model never invents a figure, and nothing it does can change a record, because the connector is read-only by design.
