About Valyu MCP Server
A TypeScript MCP server that connects LLMs to Valyu's knowledge retrieval and feedback APIs. It supports searches across proprietary and web sources, as well as feedback submission for transactions.
Key features
- 01Search proprietary and web sources
- 02Select sources and result limits
- 03Set similarity and query rewrite options
- 04Submit transaction feedback with sentiment
Use cases
- 01Search Valyu sources for a topic
- 02Limit or refine knowledge search results
- 03Send feedback about a transaction
MCP support
The server exposes Valyu knowledge search and transaction feedback as MCP tools named `knowledge` and `feedback`.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

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.
