Limitations (from the README)

- This is a hosted server - to use it, connect to https://mcp.alphai.io/mcp; there is nothing to self-host. This repo is the catalog home + server.json manifest. - News, not advice. The tools summarize reporting; they don't give buy/sell calls. - raw_text (full article bodies) is never served - copyright.
