What changes for your investment research
Instead of opening Morningstar, hunting for the right fund and copying figures into a note, you ask Claude. It works out which securities you mean, fetches the relevant data, research or articles, and answers inside the conversation, within whatever your Morningstar license covers.
Read the analyst view. morningstar-analyst-research-tool returns the relevant parts of Morningstar's analyst and quantitative reports, which look forward on a stock or fund.
Put numbers on it. morningstar-data-tool retrieves fund, ETF and stock data, while morningstar-screener-tool lists investments that match criteria you can combine with logical operators.
Look inside a fund. morningstar-fund-holdings-tool returns the top positions of one or more funds with their weights, and morningstar-articles-tool adds editorial context. Behind the scenes, morningstar-id-lookup-tool maps names and tickers to Morningstar identifiers.
What Claude won't do here: all six tools on the sheet consult, none places an order or edits a portfolio. It doesn't watch anything continuously either, every lookup starts with your question. An alert that runs by itself is a job for an automation tool, a different line of work, collected on the Integrations hub.
Five words before you start
Read these once and the rest of the page is easy going.
- Connector
- The link you set up one time between Claude and an account you already hold, so Claude can work with it while it replies.
- Tool
- A single named capability the connector gives Claude. Claude decides which to call, and the directory sheet lists each by name.
- Authorization
- Morningstar's own sign-in screen, where you hand Claude the access it will use. Granted once per person, and you can pull it back.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before completing an action that changes your account, shown in the chat when it matters.
- MCP
- The common standard connectors run on. It's what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Morningstar.
Set up the Claude Morningstar connector in three steps
- 01
Find Morningstar
In Claude's settings, open Customize then Connectors and locate Morningstar in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner needs to enable it before each member can connect.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row, then sign in with your Morningstar credentials in the window Morningstar opens itself. If the link breaks later, use Disconnect and reconnect.
- 03
Review the authorization
Read Morningstar's screen before you accept: the service, not Claude, sets what the access covers. You can take that access back the same way you gave it, from the service's own account settings.
All 6 Morningstar tools, and what each one reads
Morningstar gives Claude 6 tools: 6 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.
Six read tools, from identifying a security to breaking down a fund. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude can look up (6)
6 toolsSix tools that read the Morningstar research and data your license covers.
morningstar-id-lookup-tool
Acts as the detection layer: it spots the investments and data points mentioned in your request and maps them to Morningstar's internal IDs, which the other tools then reuse.
morningstar-data-tool
Fetches Morningstar's AI-ready data on mutual funds, ETFs and stocks worldwide, one data point at a time.
morningstar-analyst-research-tool
Returns the relevant passages from Morningstar's analyst and quantitative reports, with their forward-looking take on a stock or a fund.
morningstar-articles-tool
Draws on articles, news and commentary published on Morningstar.com and other Morningstar products to explain a market trend.
morningstar-screener-tool
Builds a list of investments that match the criteria you give, which can be combined with AND, OR and NOT logic.
morningstar-fund-holdings-tool
Returns the largest positions for a list of mutual funds or ETFs, each with the security name and its weight in the portfolio.
What Claude checks with you first
By default, Claude stops and asks before every action it takes on an account for you. All six Morningstar tools consult data.
No source describes a Morningstar-specific confirmation, so the default rule applies. On Team and Enterprise, workspace owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked again. They can also restrict a connector for the whole organization. And Claude never goes past your rights: whatever your Morningstar license doesn't open stays invisible to it, however the question is phrased.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows plan availability. For a given connector, that information simply isn't published.
The general rule is published: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector for the organization. For Morningstar's current status, its sheet in the official directory is the reference to check from your own account.
Where the Morningstar connector stops
A connector isn't an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you, and nothing fires when an analyst publishes a new note.
Only the publisher documents this connector: neither Claude's help center nor Anthropic's docs cover it. Its six tools consult, but a read-only sheet is an observed floor, not a guarantee. The directory badge isn't a security audit, and Anthropic doesn't vouch for how a publisher's tools behave. Morningstar's documentation also mentions tools that aren't on the directory sheet: this page leaves them out. Don't mix it up with Morningstar Credit Analytics, a separate connector in the directory.
