MCP server

Quantora runs a hosted MCP server, so an agent in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or any other MCP client can query the same data the REST API serves. There is nothing to install and no Node process to keep running: point the client at the endpoint and authenticate with your API key.

Every tool is read-only. The server reads data, it cannot change your account, your keys or your billing.

Endpoint

https://mcp.quantoraresearch.com

Authentication uses the same key as the REST API, sent either as an x-api-key header or as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Create and manage keys in your account console.

Authentication is a static API key, there is no OAuth flow yet. Your key ends up in a client config file on disk, so treat it like any other secret and rotate it from the console if a machine is shared or lost.

Connect your client

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal, with your key in place of YOUR_API_KEY:

claude mcp add --transport http quantora https://mcp.quantoraresearch.com \
  --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop or Cursor

Add the server to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, or Cursor’s mcp.json), then restart the app:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quantora": {
      "url": "https://mcp.quantoraresearch.com",
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Clients without HTTP transport

Older clients that only speak stdio can bridge through mcp-remote:

npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.quantoraresearch.com/mcp \
  --header x-api-key:YOUR_API_KEY

Tools

The server exposes 33 tools. They return the same objects, units and trust metadata as the REST endpoints they sit on, so anything you read in Core concepts applies here too.

Discovery and resolution

Tool	What it does
`search_catalog`	Find any indicator, series or field by name, slug, family, alias or provider code.
`resolve`	Resolve a country, company or FX symbol to the canonical id the other tools expect.
`list_countries`	List covered countries with their central bank, peers and trading partners.
`list_sources`	List sources with their rights fields, so you can tell redistributable data from internal only.
`coverage_map`	What exists across countries and indicators, and how deep the history goes.

Macro observations

Tool	What it does
`get_observations`	The low-level time series for any indicator.
`get_latest`	Many indicators for one entity, the country panel in a single call.
`get_indicator_across_entities`	One indicator across many entities, for ranking and comparison.
`get_latest_per_entity`	Deprecated alias of `get_indicator_across_entities`. Prefer that name.
`cross_country`	Macro differentials for a scope against its peer basket.
`rates_analytics`	Sovereign spreads against peers, and curve slopes.

Screeners

Tool	What it does
`screen_macro`	Screen countries by macro indicator values.
`screener_fields`	The screenable macro fields, operators and query syntax.
`screen_equities`	Screen the scored company universe by fundamentals in one call.
`equity_screener_fields`	The screenable equity fields, including valuation multiples and analytics.

Companies

Tool	What it does
`list_companies`	The scored company universe with ticker, sector and industry.

`cot_positioning`	A market’s CFTC positioning, with percentile rankings.

Events and provenance

Tool	What it does
`economic_calendar`	Data releases and central bank meetings.
`trump_posts`	Truth Social posts with timestamp, deep link and engagement metadata.
`observation_provenance`	Source, raw payload metadata and lineage for one observation.
`source_health`	Per-source connector freshness.

Rights and freshness still apply

The MCP tools are a different transport, not a different dataset. Two fields decide whether a row is safe for what you are building, and both come back through MCP exactly as they do over HTTP:

Sources and rights

Which series may be redistributed, and which are licensed for internal use only.

Trust metadata

Freshness status and scoring eligibility, so an agent can tell a stale row from a current one.
