MCP support
Provides five read-only research tools to MCP clients, using public blockchain data, government statistics, SEC filings, and news records. It has no trading access and requires no API key or account.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMENomina
Markets research for agents from public data.
Five read-only tools, no API key, no account, no trading access:
search_markets— find symbols in Nomina's catalog (on-chain price feeds, Treasury tenors, macro series, SEC registrants) and recent headlines.research_asset— latest value, period change, drawdown and volatility, dated history, and headlines for one symbol, over a named period or an exact date window.compare_assets— align 2–6 symbols on shared observation dates, each in its own unit.market_overview— period changes for BTC, ETH, SOL, gold, SPY, QQQ, EUR/USD, US 2y and 10y yields and CPI.company_fundamentals— latest annual and quarterly financials and filings for an SEC registrant.
Data: Chainlink price feeds read from the Ethereum blockchain (crypto, FX, gold and silver, a few US equities/ETFs), the US Treasury yield curve, Bureau of Labor Statistics series, SEC EDGAR filings, and GDELT headlines: public-domain government statistics, public blockchain state, and openly released news records, each source's obligations documented and met in Data sources and limits.
Install
Hosted (no install): add https://mcp.nomina.io/mcp as a custom connector in
Claude (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector), or
claude mcp add --transport http nomina https://mcp.nomina.io/mcp. First request
after an idle period can take about a minute.
Claude Desktop: Settings → Extensions → Advanced settings → Extension Developer →
Install Extension… → select Nomina.mcpb from a
release (or build it yourself, see below). Requires a Claude Desktop
release with MCPB v0.4 UV-runtime support and internet access on first install.
Any other MCP client (Claude Code, etc.): point it at this as a local stdio server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nomina": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "--frozen", "--no-dev", "--directory", "/path/to/nomp", "server.py"]
}
}
}
Self-hosted (Streamable HTTP): docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/nomina-xyz/nomina-mcp:2.0.6,
then connect to http://localhost:8000/mcp. Details in the docs below.

Privacy Policy
Full policy: https://nomina-xyz.github.io/nomina-mcp/privacy/ · Terms of use: https://nomina-xyz.github.io/nomina-mcp/terms/
- Collection: when a tool runs, only its inputs — search terms, symbols, tickers, and the
requested period or date window — are sent to the public sources that answer it: Ethereum
JSON-RPC gateways (
ethereum.publicnode.com,rpc.mevblocker.io) and Chainlink's feed directory,home.treasury.gov,api.bls.gov,www.sec.gov/data.sec.gov, andapi.gdeltproject.org. Nothing else leaves the process. - Usage and storage: Nomina stores nothing. No accounts, no logs of requests or their contents, no telemetry. Source responses are held in memory (ten minutes for headlines up to a day for catalogs; immutable on-chain rounds for the process lifetime) to avoid repeat requests; nothing is written to disk.
- Third parties: each source processes those requests under its own policy. Your MCP host handles the conversation under its own policy. Operators of a hosted instance may keep infrastructure connection logs; Nomina adds none.
- Retention: none beyond the in-memory cache of the running process.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
