VIGO — The First MCP Server for Financial Regulatory Intelligence
Regulatory Intelligence Expert · Bilingual AI Agent for Hong Kong SFC Regulations
By OrphicOne · English & 繁體中文 · Continuously Updated Knowledge Base
What is VIGO?
VIGO (遠見 · 洞察 · 治理 · 優化) is a specialized financial regulatory intelligence AI agent — and the industry's first MCP server dedicated to financial regulatory intelligence in any jurisdiction.
At its core, VIGO is a regulatory intelligence expert: deeply versed in Hong Kong SFC regulations, enforcement history, licensing requirements, and AML/CFT rules. But VIGO is more than a compliance encyclopedia. It is a business-aware compliance navigator — an AI that understands how compliance intersects with business strategy, capital structures, and market reality.
Compliance is the floor. Business is the ceiling.
VIGO helps you build both.
V.I.G.O. — The Four Dimensions
Why VIGO instead of asking Claude/ChatGPT directly?
Asking ChatGPT about SFC regulations is like asking a smart friend — they roughly know. Asking VIGO is like consulting a senior compliance partner who knows every circular, every enforcement action, every licensing nuance, and always connects compliance back to your business objectives.

v7.0 Intelligent Engine
Six-Layer Retrieval Pipeline
Dual-Model Routing
Built-in fallback: if GPT-4o-mini fails → auto-switch to DeepSeek.
9 Query Route Types
Each route type has optimised search weights (freshness, authority) and strategy (structured_lookup / semantic / multi_query / hybrid):
capital_requirement · license_market · enforcement_lookup · fee_benchmark · latest_update · comparison · how_to · general · unknown
Six-Layer Anti-Hallucination
- LICENSE_TYPE_MAP hardcoded — all SFC exam subjects verified against HKSI website 2026
- System Prompt strict instructions — never supplement specific numbers from training data
- Reranking filter — demote non-matching license type documents
- Verification grade weighting — GOLD > SILVER > BRONZE
- Cross-contamination penalty — -0.05 for mismatched license documents
- Diversity filter — force minimum 3 different sources
Iceberg Strategy (Response Philosophy)
Autonomous Operations
v7.0 achieves fully autonomous operations with zero manual intervention:

Note: The MCP server is the open, stateless interface for any AI client. On the OrphicOne platform, VIGO also integrates Engram — a long-term memory system that stores conversation history, tracks user preferences, and adapts responses based on learning progress. Engram uses semantic retrieval (vector similarity) over past dialogues to deliver increasingly personalised compliance guidance over time.
