Pack: fed-nic · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fed-nic/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/nic_get_institution for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Full NIC record for one institution — legal name, FDIC certificate, LEI, institution type, charter type, location, and active/closed status. Sourced from the Federal Reserve National Information Center (ffiec.gov/npw). Look it up by RSSD ID (NIC’s own identifier), FDIC certificate number (the join key shared with the fdic pack), or LEI (the join key shared with the gleif pack) — provide exactly one. Use nic_search_institutions first to find an RSSD ID from a name.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`rssd_id`	number	no	NIC RSSD ID, e.g. 852218 for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Provide exactly one of rssd_id, fdic_cert, lei.
`fdic_cert`	number	no	FDIC certificate number — chains to the `fdic` pack (fdic_get_institution), e.g. 3511 for Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Provide exactly one of rssd_id, fdic_cert, lei.
`lei`	string	no	Legal Entity Identifier (20-character LEI code) — chains to the `gleif` pack, e.g. “7H6GLXDRUGQFU57RNE97” for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Provide exactly one of rssd_id, fdic_cert, lei.
