MCP server · S&P Global

spglobal-kfinance

Hosted (remote) MCP server for the S&P Global LLM-Ready API (kFinance), operated by Kensho. Documented first-class integrations: Claude (Desktop/Cowork/Code), ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Amazon Quick Suite, Databricks, and Mistral (Beta). The kensho-kfinance Python package also runs a local MCP server (python -m kfinance.mcp) with stdio, SSE, and streamable-http transports.

One-click install for Cursor, VS Code, Claude, and 20+ other MCP clients, powered by API Commons MCP Install — visit install.apicommons.org for more information.

Connect

This is a remote MCP server — point an MCP client at the endpoint URL. Clients with native remote support (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …):

# mcp client config (e.g. .mcp.json / mcp settings) { "mcpServers": { "sp-global": { "url": "https://kfinance.kensho.com/integrations/mcp" } } }

For stdio-only clients (older Claude Desktop, etc.), bridge with mcp-remote:

# Add to claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "sp-global": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://kfinance.kensho.com/integrations/mcp"] } } }

If the server requires authentication, add the provider's token/header (e.g. an X-API-Key) per its docs. A quick reachability check:

curl -i -X POST https://kfinance.kensho.com/integrations/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

About MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.
