Overview
Claude for Financial Services is Anthropic's open repository of reference agents, skills and data connectors for the financial-services workflows the company sees most: investment banking, equity research, private equity and wealth management. Everything ships from one source in two forms — install it as a Claude Cowork plugin, or deploy it through the Claude Managed Agents API behind your own workflow engine. Same system prompt, same skills; you choose where it runs.
Ten named agents cover four functions. Coverage and advisory gets the Pitch Agent (comps, precedents and an LBO through to a branded deck) and the Meeting Prep Agent. Research and modelling gets the Market Researcher, the Earnings Reviewer and a Model Builder that works live in Excel. Fund admin and finance ops gets the Valuation Reviewer, GL Reconciler, Month-End Closer and Statement Auditor. Operations and onboarding gets the KYC Screener. Each agent plugin is self-contained — it bundles the skills it uses — and each also ships as a Managed Agent template you deploy via /v1/agents, with agent.yaml, leaf-worker subagents and per-agent security notes in the cookbooks directory.
Underneath the agents sit vertical plugins: the skills, slash commands and MCP data connectors bundled by FSI vertical, installable on their own if you want /comps, /dcf and /earnings without a full agent. Partner-authored plugins from LSEG and S&P Global live alongside them, and there is admin tooling to provision the Claude Microsoft 365 add-in. Anthropic states clearly what the agents do not do: nothing here is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, and the agents draft analyst work product for review rather than making recommendations, executing transactions, binding risk, posting to a ledger or approving onboarding — every output is staged for human sign-off.
What it does
- Ten named workflow agents — Pitch, Meeting Prep, Market Researcher, Earnings Reviewer, Model Builder, Valuation Reviewer, GL Reconciler, Month-End Closer, Statement Auditor and KYC Screener
- Each agent ships twice from one definition: as a self-contained Cowork plugin and as a Claude Managed Agent template
- Vertical plugins with standalone skills and slash commands such as /comps, /dcf and /earnings, plus MCP data connectors
- Managed-agent cookbooks with agent.yaml, leaf-worker subagent examples, steering events and per-agent security notes
- Partner-built plugins from LSEG and S&P Global
- Admin tooling to provision the Claude Microsoft 365 add-in across a firm
- Human-in-the-loop by design — outputs are staged analyst work product, never executed transactions or ledger writes
Getting started
Pick the agents that match your work and install them; each plugin bundles the skills it needs, so nothing else is required.
Install into Cowork
In Cowork, open Settings → Plugins → Add plugin, then paste the repository URL and pick the agents and verticals you want from the marketplace list — or zip any directory under plugins/ and upload it.
https://github.com/anthropics/financial-servicesInstall into Claude Code
Add the repository as a plugin marketplace, then install individual agents from it.
claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/financial-servicesDeploy as a Managed Agent
The managed-agent-cookbooks directory has one folder per agent, with the agent.yaml and deploy script used to create it through the Managed Agents API.
git clone https://github.com/anthropics/financial-services.git
cd financial-services
./scripts/deploy-managed-agent.shTune it to your firm
The agents are starting points: adjust the prompts, swap in your own skills, and repoint the MCP connectors at your data before anyone relies on the output.
Commands and code are distilled from the project's own documentation — always check the official repo for the latest.
When to use it
- Stand up a pitch, earnings or market-research workflow on Claude without designing the agent from scratch
- Take just the skills and connectors — /comps, /dcf, /earnings — into an agent you already have
- Deploy the same agent definition behind your own workflow engine through the Managed Agents API
- Study how Anthropic structures leaf-worker subagents and per-agent security notes for a regulated domain
