Founder of AlphaAI, a financial news API for AI agents and trading bots
@beelings99 Thanks. What are you running them in? If it's Claude Desktop or Cursor you can add mcp.alphai.io and it connects over OAuth, no key setup, free tier works. Curious what you'd actually want an agent to do with a news feed.
@peteriishak Thanks. Staying current is basically the whole reason for the score. One real story usually shows up with a couple hundred near-identical rewrites behind it, so everything gets rated 1 to 10 at ingest and you filter on the number instead of reading the pile.
I built AlphaAI because every financial news API I tried handed me a wire and left the reading to me.
Here each article is scored 1 to 10 for relevance and tagged with the tickers it actually concerns, at ingest time. SEC filings come through as parsed events instead of documents, so a Form 4 insider trade shows up with the numbers already pulled out, about 6 minutes after it lands on EDGAR.
There's a REST API and an MCP server. If you use Claude Desktop or Cursor you can point it at mcp.alphai.io and start asking questions without writing any code at all. The free tier is 20 requests a minute and 100 a day, and it doesn't ask for a card.
Happy to answer anything about the pipeline or how the scoring works.
@namesmixer Thank you. Filings were the part I cared most about getting right. A Form 4 arrives as an event with the transaction values already parsed, about 6 minutes after EDGAR, so nothing has to read a document. MCP came later, after I got tired of writing the same glue code for every client.
