NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Donnelley Financial Solutions (NYSE: DFIN), a leading global provider of financial regulatory and compliance solutions and the top SEC filing agent, today announced the launch of the DFIN Venue® MCP Connector, a new capability designed to provide secure transaction information via AI-assisted analysis.

"Teams can securely analyze live deal-room data while maintaining the governance, permission fidelity, and oversight that are critical to successful transaction execution. This is a significant step forward in making AI practical, trusted, and enterprise-ready for capital markets and transaction workflows."  

Following the launch of AI Translations and AI Summaries, The Venue MCP Connector represents the latest advancement in DFIN's Active Intelligence™ suite of capabilities, built to deliver secure, enterprise-grade AI capabilities across the capital markets ecosystem, with further enhancements to follow.
