Finlight

@Finlight search for articles about semiconductor supply chain disruptions published in the last 48 hours, focusing on Asia-Pacific sources.

Found 14 articles matching your criteria. Recent coverage includes Reuters reporting on Taiwan fab delays, Nikkei Asia covering TSMC's Q1 outlook revision, and Bloomberg's analysis of memory chip inventory levels. Articles span English and Japanese sources. The search returned headlines, publication timestamps, and source domains; full article text and extracted company entities are available on Business and Enterprise plans. This example illustrates a typical search result set—actual article count and source mix vary by index timing and account access level.

This example showcases Finlight's filtered search across geography, topic, and recency. Users should know that content depth (full text, entity extraction) is plan-gated—API requests succeed but may return partial metadata on lower tiers. Search is most useful when you need to scan recent financial news by market or region, not deep historical analysis.

@Finlight retrieve the full article from this Financial Times link: https://www.ft.com/content/abc123 and summarize the key risks mentioned for European banks.

Retrieved the FT article 'ECB Stress Test Reveals Capital Gaps'. The piece highlights three main risks: rising commercial real estate defaults in Germany and France, increased sensitivity to rate cuts eroding net interest margins, and operational resilience gaps flagged in the latest supervisory review. Note that full article content retrieval depends on your Finlight plan—this example assumes Business-tier access. If the plan doesn't include full text, the response would contain only metadata (headline, source, publish date).

This example demonstrates single-article retrieval by URL, useful when a teammate shares a link and you want the AI to extract insights without leaving Switchy. Be aware that content availability is plan-dependent and some paywalled sources may only return metadata. The MCP does not bypass publisher paywalls—it surfaces what Finlight has indexed under your subscription.

@Finlight list all news sources in my account, then draft a monitoring brief explaining which sources cover renewable energy policy in the EU.

Your Finlight account tracks 127 sources. EU renewable energy policy is primarily covered by: Euractiv (Brussels, policy-focused), Reuters (global wire with strong EU bureau), Bloomberg Green (markets and regulation), and Montel News (energy trading). These sources publish in English; your account also includes Handelsblatt and Les Échos for German and French perspectives. This example shows how listing sources helps you understand coverage gaps—if you need more Nordics coverage, you'd know to request additional sources from Finlight support.

This example pairs the List Sources tool with AI synthesis to audit your news universe. It's valuable for teams setting up monitoring workflows or checking whether their Finlight index covers the geographies and topics they care about. Source lists are account-specific, so the output reflects your subscription tier and any custom sources Finlight has added for you.

When Finlight replaces manual news aggregation for small funds

A 6-person venture fund runs a Monday investment committee meeting where partners review weekend market moves and sector news. Before Finlight, an analyst spent 90 minutes Sunday night copying headlines from 8 sources into a shared doc. With the Search Articles tool filtered by geography and category, the team now pulls a pre-filtered feed in under 5 minutes. The catch: if your fund covers more than 3 geographies or needs proprietary research sources, Finlight's source list (visible via List Sources) may not include them, and you're back to manual curation. If your news diet fits their index and you have API_KEY access, this MCP turns Sunday prep into a Monday morning Slack command.

Why Finlight doesn't fit most support knowledge bases

A 12-person fintech startup fields questions about market data integrations and regulatory changes. The support lead considers Finlight to surface relevant news when customers ask about rate hikes or compliance deadlines. The problem: Finlight indexes financial news, not product documentation or internal runbooks. The Get Article by Link tool only works if you already have a Finlight-indexed URL, and the search returns public market commentary, not your own help articles. If your support queries are actually about explaining your product's behavior during market events, you need a docs MCP, not a news MCP. Finlight works when the question is 'what happened in the market today,' not 'how does our system handle it.'

When Finlight's date filters save hours in earnings season

A 3-person equity research shop publishes sector reports every quarter. During earnings season, the junior analyst manually searches 15 news sites for company-specific coverage, then copy-pastes into a timeline. The Search Articles tool with date and text filters cuts that to one query per company, returning indexed coverage in chronological order. The trade-off: entity enrichment and full article content are plan-gated, so if your Finlight tier doesn't include them, you still click through to the original source. If you're writing 10+ reports per quarter and your Finlight plan includes entities, this MCP turns a 4-hour research task into a 30-minute one. Below that volume, the API_KEY setup overhead isn't worth it.
