Headline Vibes Analysis
fred-emLABSCO SUMMARY
Structured output is the whole pitch, and it is the right one for this kind of data.
Alternative data is only useful if a model can compare it — sentiment on one ticker against another, week over week. Tools that return clean records make that possible; a research tool that returns an article does not. The gate to know about is the plan: MCP sits on Pro, so the entry tier gets you the site and not the connection.
What it is
AltIndex's own endpoint. It groups its alternative-data research into a small set of purpose-built tools that return structured records rather than pages of prose.
What you get
Eight tools, grouped by what you are researching: a stock's alternative-data signals, social sentiment, and news or Reddit coverage. AltIndex documents the grouping; the endpoint refuses to list them without a session.
Requirements
Browser sign-in with an AltIndex account — there is no API key, and an unauthenticated call comes back 401. The MCP connector is included with Pro at $99/mo or $499/year; the $29 Starter plan does not include it.
Setup effort
Paste a URL, then authorize — add the endpoint to your client, then approve the OAuth consent screen
USE CASES
01
Researching a ticker in one pass
Pull alternative-data signals, social sentiment and recent coverage together rather than assembling three sources by hand.
02
Comparing sentiment across names
Structured records mean the agent can line up several tickers instead of summarising prose one at a time.
