Alphai News

License: MIT Official MCP Registry Smithery mcp.so Glama Mentioned in Awesome MCP Servers

Real-time, AI-enriched financial news for AI agents and trading bots — over the Model Context Protocol. Hosted at mcp.alphai.io, no install, OAuth (no API key to paste), free tier 100 calls/day.

Every story is enriched with per-ticker analysis, a category (14 buckets), and a 1–10 relevance score, so an agent can filter to what actually matters before spending a reasoning token.

This repo is the public home + server.json manifest of the hosted AlphaAI MCP server (the listing on Smithery, Glama, mcp.so, the MCP Registry and Awesome MCP Servers). The product is AlphaAI — a financial-news platform built for AI agents. There is nothing to self-host: to use it, just connect to https://mcp.alphai.io/mcp.

Connect

The server speaks Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.alphai.io/mcp. Add it to any OAuth-capable MCP client. Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http alphai https://mcp.alphai.io/mcp

Connecting opens a browser for OAuth 2.1 (DCR + PKCE) — a login, no key to copy-paste. ChatGPT, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and Gemini connect the same way. Or use the one-click listing on Smithery.

Notes

• This is a hosted server — to use it, connect to https://mcp.alphai.io/mcp; there is nothing to self-host. This repo is the catalog home + server.json manifest.
• News, not advice. The tools summarize reporting; they don't give buy/sell calls.
• raw_text (full article bodies) is never served — copyright. Responses carry titles, AI summaries, per-ticker analysis, categories and relevance scores.
