# MCP Financial Services Interest Group (FSIG)
Welcome to the **MCP Financial Services Interest Group (FSIG)** — a collaborative community focused on advancing the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) for use in regulated financial services environments.
## 🎯 Mission
The FSIG coordinates financial-industry stakeholders to:
- **Define and build** finance-specific MCP extensions (compliance/auditability, data lineage & provenance, guardrails & attestation, etc.)
- **Advocate for spec enhancements** when extensions aren't sufficient (via SEPs with core maintainer sponsorship)
- **Drive common standards** enabling interoperability across regulated institutions
- **Provide a neutral forum** to address regulatory and risk constraints with open technical solutions
> **📜 See the [CHARTER](./CHARTER.md) for detailed governance, scope, and processes.**
