  Caplight Technologies is a San Francisco private-markets data and trading platform for institutional
  investors, covering 50,000+ VC-backed private companies with secondary-market pricing, a live
  institutional order book, trade and order history, funding rounds with valuations and participants,
  investor participation, SEC-derived fund marks, COI filings, stock splits, news, company signals and
  comparable-company indices. Its proprietary MarketPrice(TM) estimate is implied from live bids, asks
  and closed secondary trades. Caplight exposes the dataset through a versioned REST API (v1 and v2,
  api_key header auth, documented with a public OpenAPI 3.1.0 definition rendered in Redoc), a hosted
  OAuth-protected MCP server for Claude, and a one-line embeddable widget. Securities are offered
  through Caplight Markets LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

  description: >-
    Hosted, remote MCP server that connects Claude.ai and Claude Desktop to the Caplight dataset. Caplight
    documents 15 tools spanning live MarketPrice quotes and price history, the secondary order book and
    trade history, company profiles, COI filings, SEC-derived fund marks, funding rounds with amounts
    and valuations, investor participation and quarterly market summaries. Added as a custom connector;
    no API key is required — access is authorized with a Caplight account over OAuth 2.1 (authorization
    code + PKCE S256, dynamic client registration), advertised via RFC 8414 and RFC 9728 metadata documents.
