Bigdata.com MCP Server

Bigdata.com, built by RavenPack, is a financial intelligence platform that exposes its research APIs as an official Model Context Protocol connector. The MCP server gives agents grounded access to a curated corpus of 10,000+ premium news sources, regulatory filings, earnings call transcripts, podcasts, expert interviews, and financial research, along with structured data such as financial metrics, sentiment indicators, and earnings calendars. RavenPack's underlying knowledge graph links the content to roughly 12 million tracked entities so queries resolve to specific securities, companies, sectors, and countries.

The server is provider-hosted and read-only. It is available as an official OAuth connector inside Claude.ai (Settings, Connectors), and also supports ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and generic agentic clients via API key. Tools cover natural language search across multimodal financial content, security resolution by ticker or ISIN, and a suite of "tearsheet" tools for companies, countries, markets, ETFs, and sentiment, plus an events calendar.

It is positioned for finance professionals who need citation-backed, hallucination-resistant answers for due diligence, equity research, market monitoring, and compliance work. Setup is configuration only: existing Bigdata.com customers authenticate through OAuth, and trial users can spin up a 7-day evaluation account.

Tools

Bigdata.com is a remote MCP server hosted by the provider. You do not install anything locally for the official connector path. A Bigdata.com account is required (a 7-day free trial is available).

Option 1: Claude.ai (OAuth, recommended)

• Open Claude.ai and go to Settings, Connectors.
• Open the Official Connectors Gallery and search for "Bigdata".
• Click "Add to team" (organization admin) or "Connect" (individual user).
• You will be redirected to authenticate with your Bigdata.com credentials.
• After login, return to Claude and set permissions to "Always allow" for seamless use.

Organization admins can find the flow under Organization settings, Connectors.

Option 2: ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot

The same MCP server is exposed as an official connector inside ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Follow each platform's connector gallery and authenticate through OAuth with your Bigdata.com account.

Option 3: API key integration for generic MCP clients

For Cursor, Claude Desktop, or other clients that support remote MCP, use the API key flow. Generate a key in the Bigdata.com developer platform (https://platform.bigdata.com/) and configure your client per the per-platform instructions in https://docs.bigdata.com/mcp-reference/introduction. A typical Claude Desktop config using the mcp-remote bridge looks like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bigdata": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "<bigdata-mcp-endpoint-from-docs>"],
      "env": {
        "BIGDATA_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

The exact remote MCP endpoint URL is not published in the public docs index and is provided in the platform-specific integration guides under docs.bigdata.com/mcp-reference. Refer to those pages for the current endpoint.

• Build a due diligence tearsheet on a target company, pulling filings, analyst coverage, recent news, and management commentary in one pass.
• Monitor real-time media sentiment and narrative shifts on a watchlist of public tickers.
• Run a thematic search across earnings transcripts and SEC filings for mentions of a specific risk, product, or regulatory topic.
• Generate a country or market macro snapshot ahead of an investment committee meeting, including upcoming releases and index performance.
• Resolve a list of ISINs or CUSIPs to standardized entities and then enrich each with sentiment, events, and fundamentals.

• "Use Bigdata to find every mention of supply chain disruption in NVIDIA earnings calls over the last four quarters and summarize the trend."
• "Give me a Bigdata company tearsheet on Palantir and flag the top three risks cited by analysts."
• "Pull the Bigdata sentiment tearsheet for the magnificent seven and rank them by 30 day media sentiment change."
• "Resolve these ISINs to tickers and return the upcoming earnings dates from Bigdata."
• "Search Bigdata news and filings for European banks exposed to commercial real estate and cite the source documents."

• Official, vendor-maintained MCP connector with OAuth support in Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot, so no self-hosting is required.
• Strong financial domain coverage: filings, transcripts, premium news, sentiment, tearsheets, and an events calendar with entity-linked data.
• Citations are returned with results, which reduces hallucination risk for research and compliance workflows.
• Backed by RavenPack's long-running financial NLP and knowledge graph infrastructure.

• Read-only. There are no write or portfolio management tools, only retrieval and analytics.
• Requires a paid Bigdata.com subscription beyond the 7-day trial, which is gated for institutional and qualified users.
• The remote MCP endpoint URL and full schema are not openly published; setup outside the official Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot galleries requires going through Bigdata.com's integration guides.

• AlphaVantage MCP for free-tier market data and fundamentals.
• Financial Datasets MCP for SEC filings, fundamentals, and price data via API key.
• Bloomberg Terminal or FactSet for institutional research workflows, though neither currently exposes an official public MCP server.
