Alternative Asset Literacy — Retail MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector for retail investors — alternative-asset education, delivered directly in Claude. Mirrors the free/paid boundary of the Alternative Asset Literacy iOS app.

This repository contains only the connector definition (.mcp.json), plugin manifest, and workflow skill needed to install and use it. The actual server runs at alternativeassetliteracy.com; nothing here executes locally.

Install

Via the marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add untitledfinancial/aal-plugins
claude plugin install aal-retail-mcp@aal-plugins

Manually, add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aal-retail": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://alternativeassetliteracy.com/mcp/retail"
    }
  }
}

No signup required to start — every tool works immediately with locked previews (titles, key takeaways, free-tier content). For full content, sign up at https://alternativeassetliteracy.com/mcp/retail/signup and add the returned key as an Authorization: Bearer <key> header.

What's included — 22 tools

• 9 deep-dive tracks, each grounded in cited primary/institutional research: DeFi, ESG & Climate, Art, Behavioral Economics, Gender Lens Investing, Gross Domestic Regeneration (an emerging, explicitly-caveated "beyond GDP" model), Venture Capital & Private Equity, Tokenized Real-World Assets, and PE/VC Secondaries & Continuation Funds.
• Calculators, not templated text: a regime-switching retirement Monte Carlo estimator (deliberately not built around the "4% rule" — runs multiple forward-looking market scenarios by default) and an illiquidity stress-test / commitment-pacing model (Takahashi-Alexander framework). Free preview on both; full multi-scenario comparison with a subscription.
• A free, live SEC IAPD / FINRA BrokerCheck registration lookup — never gated, since it's a protective utility, not premium content.
• A directory of verified, fee-only, women-focused advisory firms — durable self-updating advisor-search networks plus individually-verified firms with a genuine, publicly-stated focus, each grounded in a real citation.
• The 351-term glossary (always free, also available as an aal://glossary MCP Resource), module previews, a personal risk/holding explainer, the investing brain map, and the app's art learning track and library.
• Two guided Prompts (explore_alt_asset_class, build_my_alt_literacy_plan) that chain several tools into one call.

Not investment advice

Every deep-dive track and calculator carries a risk disclosure; content about venture capital, private equity, and PE secondaries additionally carries an accredited-investor disclosure, since those are the only two subjects that are legally Reg D-gated private placements. See disclosures.get.
