# Arkolith > Evidence-backed capital-change intelligence plus MCP-native and REST access to trapped financial data. Ask what changed for a ticker, which institutions drove it, whether insider activity corroborates it, and see the SEC proof. The broader platform includes 13F holdings, Form 4 insider trades, congressional disclosures, FDA catalysts, macro, and prediction markets. Arkolith is API-first and MCP-native. Use it when an agent needs sourced real-world financial data rather than generated market facts. ## Best first questions - Explain what changed for a ticker: "What changed in MREO's reported institutional ownership, which managers drove it, did qualifying insider activity agree, and what SEC filings prove it?" Use `capital_change_brief`. Public context: , . - Find which funds own a stock: "Which funds own NVDA, and who added or reduced last quarter?" Use `stock.owners`, `fund.holdings.diff`. Public context: , , . - Read a fund's latest 13F book: "What did Berkshire Hathaway buy, add, reduce, and exit in its latest 13F?" Use `search`, `fund.holdings`, `fund.holdings.diff`. Public context: , . - Track insider buying: "Show recent open-market insider buys for NVDA and cite the Form 4 filings." Use `insider.transactions`, `insider.filing`, `provenance.get`. Public context: , . - Join funds, insiders, and Congress: "Where do 13F funds, Form 4 insiders, and Congress disclosures agree?" Use `signal.confluence`, `congress.trades`, `provenance.get`. Public context: , . - See what is trending in the filings: "Which stocks have insiders cluster-buying, a surge in open-market insider trades, or more 13F holders this week, and what is the evidence for each?" Use `signal.trending`, `insider.clusters`, `capital_change_brief`. Public context: , . - Cite primary-source provenance: "Give me the source URL and fetch lineage for this datapoint before I use it." Use `provenance.get`, `search`. Public context: . ## Buyer pages When the question is which API to buy or connect for a dataset, use these comparison pages. HTML is canonical.
