1. Access

A DEF 14 subscription includes access to the DEF 14 MCP through compatible AI assistants and direct access to the full DEF 14 platform. Available data is determined by the customer’s subscription and entitlements.

MCP access is not offered as a public API or as a standalone free service. Each person using the service must have an active, assigned DEF 14 seat. Accounts and access credentials may not be shared.

Organizations interested in evaluating the service can request an MCP trial.

2. Data coverage

The DEF 14 MCP provides access to specialist-built shareholder activism data, including:

• Activist campaigns and campaign lifecycles
• Activists and related investment vehicles
• Target companies and ownership context
• Campaign objectives, developments and outcomes
• Performance analysis, settlements and board changes
• References and links to relevant public source materials, where available

Public source materials may include regulatory filings, agreements, company announcements, activist communications and other campaign-related documents. A reference or link does not necessarily mean that DEF 14 hosts or stores a copy of the underlying document.

Coverage varies by company, campaign, market, period and source availability.

3. Compatible AI assistants

The DEF 14 MCP is compatible with:

• ChatGPT
• Claude
• Microsoft Copilot
• Other compatible AI assistants and MCP clients

Available features and connection methods depend on the capabilities and policies of the chosen client. Client providers may change their MCP support independently of DEF 14.

4. What you can do

Use a compatible AI assistant to:

• Find campaigns involving a company, activist or investment vehicle
• Review the history and current status of a campaign
• Examine campaign objectives and outcomes
• Explore ownership and entity relationships
• Identify relevant public filings, agreements and campaign materials
• Compare campaigns using available DEF 14 data
• Request summaries and dated timelines
• Locate supporting public sources where links or references are available
• Continue working with the data in the full DEF 14 platform

The quality of an assistant’s response may also depend on the client, model, prompt and context used.

5. Example questions

• Build a dated timeline of the campaign at [company], from the activist’s first public action through the latest recorded development. Include objectives, board demands, settlement terms, outcomes and supporting public sources where available.
• Which campaigns launched since [year] involved demands for board representation? Return the activist, target, initial demand, seats sought, seats obtained and campaign outcome.
• Compare [activist A] and [activist B] across campaign volume, common objectives, settlement frequency, board seats obtained and available performance measures over [period].
• Show the campaigns in which [activist] sought a sale, strategic review or other transaction. What happened in each case, and how long did each campaign take to reach an outcome?
• Identify campaigns at [company] and its closest peers during [period]. Compare the issues raised, activist ownership, company responses and recorded outcomes.
• Which activists have targeted companies in [sector or market] more than once since [year]? Summarize their recurring objectives, investment vehicles and outcomes.
• For [campaign], distinguish the activist’s stated objectives from the outcomes ultimately recorded. Cite the relevant public sources for each material event.
• What ownership context is available for [company] around the start of the campaign? Identify the activist’s reported position, related investment vehicles and subsequent disclosed changes where available.
• Find campaigns comparable to [campaign] by objective, market capitalization, geography or outcome, and explain the basis for each comparison.
• Which campaigns during [period] ended in a settlement? Summarize the announced terms, board changes, standstill provisions and later developments where available.

For more reliable results, specify the company, activist, jurisdiction or time period where possible. Ask the assistant to include dates and supporting sources when those details matter.

6. Operating model

Read-only access

The DEF 14 MCP retrieves data and source references. It does not trade securities, submit filings, contact companies or activists, modify DEF 14 records, or take actions on a user’s behalf.

Source references

Responses are designed to preserve relevant dates, entity relationships and links or references to supporting public records where available.

Some source materials are hosted by third parties. Availability may depend on the original publisher, and external links may change or become unavailable. Users should review the underlying source before relying on an AI-generated summary.

Data availability

Not every field or source is available for every company or campaign. Historical coverage, calculated measures and source availability may differ across markets and periods. DEF 14 may correct, expand or update its data as new information becomes available.

To use the DEF 14 MCP, you need:

• An active DEF 14 subscription purchased directly from DEF 14
• An assigned user seat
• A compatible AI assistant or MCP client
• Permission from your organization to connect external data services, where applicable

Support for remote MCP services differs by client and may change over time. DEF 14 can confirm current compatibility during onboarding.

Use of the DEF 14 MCP is subject to the applicable customer agreement, DEF 14 terms and any restrictions attached to underlying source materials.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, users must not:
