CEF Radar MCP MCP server

This official MCP server allows AI assistants to query U.S. closed-end fund data directly from SEC filings. It provides tools to search for funds by ticker or name and retrieve detailed information including activist stakes, tender offers, voting details, costs, borrowing amounts, and current holdings. The server returns plain-language summaries alongside structured data with as-of dates and source links, enabling agents to perform financial research without requiring authentication for public data.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http cef-radar-mcp https://cefradar.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add cef-radar-mcp --url https://cefradar.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable cef-radar-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cef-radar-mcp": {
      "url": "https://cefradar.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cef-radar-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://cefradar.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start cef-radar-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "cef-radar-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://cefradar.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http cef-radar-mcp https://cefradar.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cef-radar-mcp": {
      "url": "https://cefradar.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cef-radar-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://cefradar.com/mcp"
    }
