# FactSet Internal Tools

> Retrieve FactSet data through the official Bigdata.com MCP tools so your agent pulls from the provider you already subscribe to.

## Overview

If your organization already subscribes to [FactSet](https://www.factset.com), Bigdata.com can customize its tools to return FactSet data through the official Bigdata.com MCP, instead of coming from the default provider. Your agent keeps the same workflow while pulling structured financial data directly from FactSet.

<Accordion title="Why should I connect the internal FactSet tool if I already have an official FactSet tool in my Agent?">
  ✅ **Continuity**: Retrieve all the data linked to a company even after it changes its name or ticker, so your history stays complete. <br />
  ✅ **Completeness**: The Bigdata.com tool provides more company insights that FactSet does not cover, like job hiring trends and company sentiment. If you connect the internal FactSet, you guarantee leveraging the best of both worlds without the Agent getting confused.<br />
</Accordion>

See the [Internal Tools Introduction](/mcp-reference/tools/internal/internal-tools-introduction) for how this fits into automating your multi-provider reporting flows.

## Configuration steps

<Note>
  **Prerequisite:** You already have a FactSet subscription, and [bigdata@support.com](mailto:bigdata@support.com) has enabled that package in your Bigdata.com organization subscription.

  <Step title="Type a prompt from your Agent">
    Ask your Agent a question that requires FactSet data, for example:

    ```text theme={null}
    Using Bigdata, can you inform me about CoreWeave fundamentals and M&A details? Add source attribution.
    ```
