A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that exposes the UK [FCA Financial Services Register](https://register.fca.org.uk/) to LLM clients as a set of read-only tools. Built on [FastMCP v3](https://gofastmcp.com/) and the [`fca-api`](https://github.com/release-art/fca-api) async client.

## Overview

- **25 read-only tools** across five domains: firms, individuals, funds, regulated markets, and identifier search.
- **Two transports**: HTTP (FastAPI/uvicorn) for remote MCP clients, and stdio for local integrations.
- **OAuth2 via Auth0**, with two modes:
  - `remote` — JWT verification only (the MCP server trusts an upstream Auth0 tenant).
  - `proxy` — full OAuth proxy with dynamic client registration; tokens are persisted to Azure Blob Storage, encrypted with Fernet.
- **Scope-based authorization**: tools tagged `fca_api:read` require the `fca-api:read` scope in the access token. Enforcement is per-tool, so `initialize` and `tools/list` remain reachable by unauthenticated clients.
- **Structured responses**: Pydantic models generated by reflection from `fca-api` types, stripping internal fields.
