About Unquant
Unquant is a hosted financial-data MCP server for AI agents researching markets, companies, macroeconomics, news, and US Congress disclosures. Its catalog lets agents check availability before using listed data and research tools.
Key features
- 01Market and company data
- 02Financial news and macroeconomic data
- 03US Congress disclosures
- 04Catalog search and availability checks
- 05Screening, signals, and backtesting
Use cases
- 01Check whether a dataset is available
- 02Research a stock or company
- 03Monitor macroeconomic data
- 04Review US Congress disclosures
MCP support
Provides a hosted remote MCP endpoint over Streamable HTTP. MCP clients can search and describe the catalog, then call listed tools when access is available.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEUnquant financial-data MCP examples
Unquant is a hosted financial-data MCP server for AI agents. It covers market data, company fundamentals, financial news, macroeconomic data, US Congress disclosures, screening, signals, backtesting, and portfolio research.
The production endpoint is:
https://unquant.ai/mcp
The production code and provider credentials are not in this repository.
Paste this into your agent
Connect to https://unquant.ai/mcp. Search the Unquant catalog for the data or
research capability I request. Use catalog.list with a plain-language query,
then use catalog.describe for the best matches. Tell me whether each match is
available, in private preview, or capacity limited. If it is available, use its
listed tool. If it is not available, explain the next action shown by the
catalog. Do not claim access that the catalog does not show.
The agent can answer whether a dataset or research capability exists, is
available now, or has another access state. A person only needs to check that
the endpoint is unquant.ai and give the request to an agent.
What the agent does
- It connects to the remote MCP endpoint.
- It searches the broad catalog with
catalog.list. - It checks the best matches with
catalog.describe. - It uses a listed live tool when access is available.
- It reports the catalog state and next action when access is not available.
For the smaller operational dataset catalog, the agent can also use
datasets.search and datasets.describe.
Connect

claude mcp add --transport http unquant https://unquant.ai/mcp
For another client, use its native remote-MCP settings with Streamable HTTP. See the generic configuration and Claude Code guide.

These snapshots are generated from the public production JSON endpoints. The sync job can change only the four JSON files listed above. It cannot copy private source code, environment files, credentials, or returned financial records into this repository.
Use the live MCP endpoint at runtime. The snapshots help search engines, answer engines, and agents discover the service before they connect.
Examples
- Check data availability
- Stock research
- Macro monitoring
- US Congress disclosures
- Direct HTTP examples
Limits and support
Unquant is for research. It does not execute trades or provide personalized investment advice. Keep dates, reporting periods, units, warnings, and pagination metadata when you use results.
Use GitHub Discussions for setup questions. Report security problems privately as described in SECURITY.md.

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.
