Palanor MCP
Palanor, callable from any agent.
A Model Context Protocol server that runs Palanor headless: signals, Palanor-authored Custom Indices, the world’s named Currents, refined company filings and verified Studio charts, for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or whatever you’re building. 47 tools. Add a URL and a key; no UI required.
Part of Palanor Data: the tiers, the provenance on every value, and how it compares with other providers.
Endpoint
https://palanor.com/api/v1/mcp
Authenticate with a Palanor API key as a Bearer header. Create one on the API keys page — the free tier includes 1,000 requests / month, values included.
Add it to your client
Most desktop clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor) connect through the mcp-remote bridge, which forwards your key:
{
"mcpServers": {
"palanor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://palanor.com/api/v1/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${PALANOR_API_KEY}"
]
}
}
}Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http palanor https://palanor.com/api/v1/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PALANOR_KEY"
Clients with native remote-HTTP + header support can point straight at it:
{
"mcpServers": {
"palanor": {
"url": "https://palanor.com/api/v1/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PALANOR_KEY" }
}
}
}Tools
Every key can call every tool except those marked Pro. This list is generated from the server’s own tool catalog.

Reads, not the engine
The MCP never writes to your workspace, and it does not expose the scenario scoring engine, scenario authoring, or the Numen agent — those live inside the platform. The one thing it makes is a chart image from public signals. The MCP serves the intelligence reads; the Enterprise Intelligence Platform serves the calibrated, scenario-authored product.
Data: Palanor — the Enterprise Intelligence Platform. Attribute Palanor and link the methodology page when you cite a value.
