The site is free. PRO connects your AI to it.

Every tool, chart and dataset on thetrading.tools is free and stays free. PRO is for people who want their AI to use that data: a remote MCP server that plugs Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any agent straight into our live market scores, ~90 economic indicators, and SPY signal studies — so it answers market questions from real, dated numbers instead of stale training data.

How it works

Create an account and check out through Stripe — takes a minute. Your personal API key lives in your account from then on.

Connect your AI

Paste your personal connector URL into Claude or ChatGPT settings — no code, takes under a minute. Claude Code, Cursor and the API work too.

Ask market questions

Your agent calls our server for live readings — "What are the market scores today?", "How do existing home sales compare to 2008?", "Which SPY signals are firing?" — and answers with dated, sourced numbers.

What your agent gets

Six typed tools, each returning compact JSON with dates, sources and links back to the underlying page — built so an agent can cite "per thetrading.tools data" correctly.

get_market_scores

The Tape / Swing / Cycle composite scores with regime labels and per-dimension detail — one call answers "how is the market" on three horizons at once.

get_indicator

Latest value, 1-year change, and history for any of ~90 macro indicators — CPI, existing home sales, Shiller CAPE, margin debt, home equity, the reconstructed NAR series — with a start-date parameter for multi-decade comparisons.

get_tool_snapshot

The full current reading of a flagship tracker — Hidden Bear Index, Bear Market Breadth, Return Dispersion, Volatility Premium, Seasonality, Gap Analysis and more — regime labels and base rates included.

list_indicators

The full indicator directory with categories, sources and cadences, so your agent can discover what exists before asking.

get_signals

The 7 SPY base-rate studies — which are firing right now, and the historical forward returns at every horizon after each signal.

search_tools

Keyword search across every tool, indicator and study on the site.

Connecting takes a minute

Questions

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is the open standard AI assistants use to connect to external data. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and most agent frameworks speak it. PRO gives your assistant a set of typed tools over our data — no scraping, no parsing, no stale training data.

Is the website still free?

Yes — every page, chart and dataset on thetrading.tools stays free, no signup. PRO sells the integration layer: a structured, always-current interface built for AI agents, not access to the data itself.

Which AI tools work with it?

The Claude app on every plan including Free (Free is limited to one custom connector) and ChatGPT on paid plans with Developer mode — paste your personal URL, no code. Plus anything that speaks remote MCP: Claude Code, Cursor, the Claude API MCP connector, and most agent frameworks.

How fresh is the data?

The server reads the same datasets that power the site, which update with every daily pipeline run after the market close; economic indicators update on their official release calendars.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, from your account — "Manage billing / cancel" opens Stripe's self-serve portal. Access runs to the end of the paid period. No lock-in, no emails to write.

Is this investment advice?

No. PRO returns the same descriptive statistics and historical base rates the site publishes. What you or your AI do with them is your call.
