Ask HN: How to help AI find financials in large PDF faster?

richardwong1 — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:59:33 +0000

I am developing an MCP tool that is used by Claude to search company name, director and shareholders on registries of many countries. The tool might send back original PDF that contains shareholders, but the PDF is sometimes 50mb+. I want to keep the PDF original but Claude could not read the large file. But financials might be only on a couple of pages. What might be the best solution? Thx.

Example workflow:

Prompt: "Find directors of Monzo Bank and show their other appointments."

Claude calls:

search_companies → get_officers → get_officer_appointments

This turns one company search into a full director network map.

Hi — happy to answer questions.

This MCP server lets AI assistants query official company registries in real time. Every call goes directly to the statutory source rather than a cached dataset.

If anyone is building AI agents for due diligence / KYC / research, I'd love to hear what workflows you’d want supported.

New to MCP dev, great if any feedback or suggestion.
