MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants access AltIndex data directly through conversation. Instead of writing API calls, describe what you want in natural language and get real data back.

What you can do

Research a stock

Ask about any company's alternative data signals, social trends, fundamentals, and recent events.

"Give me a full overview of Tesla's alternative data signals"

"Show me Apple's social sentiment trend over the last 30 days"

"What news and Reddit discussion is driving NVDA right now?"

Monitor your portfolio

Get an enriched snapshot of your connected portfolio, including AI scores, social momentum, and recent events for each holding.

"How is my portfolio doing?"

"Which of my holdings have the strongest social momentum?"

"Show me the AI score breakdown for my portfolio"

Track your watchlist

Check in on your saved watchlist with the same enriched data available for portfolio holdings.

"Show me my watchlist with AltIndex scores"

"Are any of my watchlist stocks showing unusual activity?"

Scan the market

Search across the full AltIndex universe (~2,500 securities) using filters like AI score, social mentions, insider buying, hiring velocity, and more. Surface market events like earnings surprises, analyst actions, and social media spikes.

"Find stocks with rising Reddit mentions and insider buying in the last 90 days"

"What earnings surprises happened this week?"

"Show me the top 10 stocks by social momentum in the technology sector"

"Which stocks had the biggest AI score jumps this month?"
