`brokercheck_search_individual`

Pack: brokercheck · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/brokercheck/mcp

Search individual stockbrokers and investment-adviser representatives by name via FINRA BrokerCheck — the regulator-published registry investors use for due diligence and investor-protection background checks. Returns matching individuals with CRD number, name, registration scope (active/inactive), a disclosure flag (has_disclosures — whether the person has any reported disciplinary/regulatory/customer-dispute event), and current employing firm(s). Use brokercheck_individual_detail with a returned CRD to see the actual disclosure events. Per-name lookup only — not for bulk enumeration.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Individual name to search (e.g. “John Smith”).
`limit`	number	no	Max individuals to return (1-50, default 10).
