Quant Gist MCP Server

Exposes QuantGist macro-economic event data as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools so Claude and other AI agents can query calendars, check event proximity, and assess trade safety - all within a conversation. Its 17 documented tools cover earnings, webhook, upcoming, events. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting productivity tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package quantgist-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.QuantGist-Technologies is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
