Wraps Bloomberg's OpenFIGI API for financial instrument symbology lookups. You get three operations: map a batch of instrument identifiers to FIGIs, free text search across instruments, and filtered search by ID type and value. Useful when you need to normalize security identifiers across different systems or resolve ticker symbols, ISINs, CUSIPs, and other codes into standardized FIGI identifiers. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either connect to this standalone server or access it through their unified endpoint alongside 600+ other data sources. Supports plain English queries through ask_pipeworx if you want the gateway to pick tools automatically instead of calling map, search, or filter directly.
OpenFIGI MCP — Bloomberg's open financial-instrument identifier symbology service. Map ticker / CUSIP / ISIN / SEDOL → FIGI and back. Keyless free tier (rate-limited).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
map(jobs) — map up to 100 instrument-id queries → FIGIs (POST). Each job: {idType, idValue, [exchCode], [securityType], [marketSecDes]}.search(query, exchCode?, currency?, securityType?, marketSecDes?) — text search for instrumentsfilter(idType, value, exchCode?, currency?) — filter search (subset of search supported by OpenFIGI)https://api.openfigi.com/v3/
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"openfigi": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openfigi/mcp"
}
}
}
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openfigi/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Openfigi data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
